Who Do You Say That I Am? | The Confession of St. Peter Explained

About this sermon

"Who do you say that I am?" (Matthew 16:15) This profound Gospel homily explores the most important question every person must answer: Who is Jesus Christ? Drawing from the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul, this sermon explains why St. Peter's confession—"You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God"—became the foundation of Christian faith. It examines the disciples' gradual understanding of Christ's divinity, the role of divine revelation, Pentecost, and why true faith is received through the Church founded by Christ. If you've ever wondered why Peter's confession matters or what it means to believe Jesus is both Messiah and the Son of God, this homily offers a rich biblical and theological explanation rooted in Catholic tradition.
