  that I, the Son of Man, am? 14 So they said,
  Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and
  others Jeremiah or one of the prophets. 15 He
  said to them, But who do you say that I am? 16

  Christ, the Son of the living God.

Conclusion

• Since Christ is God's final spokesman, if we
  neglect his message, we have missed the great
  salvation He offers to us!
• Hebrews 21-4

15
Hebrews 21-4

• Therefore we must give the
  more earnest heed to the things
  we have heard, lest we drift away. 2 For if the
  word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and
  every transgression and disobedience received a
  just reward, 3 how shall we escape if we neglect
  so great a salvation, which at the first began to
  be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by
  those who heard Him, 4 God also bearing witness
  both with signs and wonders, with various
  miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according
  to His own will?
