Who do the crowds say that I am? And they answered, John the Baptist. But others say, Elijah, and others, that one of the prophets of old has risen. Then he said to them, But who do you say that I am? And Peter answered, The Christ of God. (ESV)

Jesus, you are greater than all of the prophets because you are the only Son of God. Christ has risen! Amen
