Everyone Has an Opinion About Jesus - But What's Yours? | Matthew 16 | 5-Min Daily Devotional | Monday 18 May 2026

Most people have an opinion about Jesus. But there's a world of difference between knowing what others say about him and knowing him for yourself.

In this 5-minute devotional - Day 1 of a brand new series on the life of Peter - we look at one of the most searching questions Jesus ever asked, and explore why the answer matters more than you might think.

In this video you'll discover:

- Why even accurate information about Jesus can still miss the point
- The difference between a "crowd answer" and a "Peter answer"
- What Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 2 about how we really come to know God
- One tiny, practical step you can take today - wherever you are
