Why this study?

"But who do you say that I am?"

Matthew 16:15

Jesus asked His disciples this question. The Bible does not answer it with one word, but with many names. This study takes eight of them and asks what each one says about Him.

You will hear God's voice better when you know who is speaking. "My sheep hear My voice" (John 10:27).
