Jesus asked his disciples who men said that he was. Some people at that time believed Jesus to be John the Baptist or Elijah or Jeremiah or one of the prophets. Then Jesus asked the disciples who they thought he was. Peter replied "You are the Christ! The son of living God!" Mt. 16:13-20.
I was thinking this could be used on non-Christians as a way to tell them the good news of how to be saved. Ask them for their understanding of who the world thinks Jesus is and then gently ask them who they think Jesus is. Then hopefully a way would be open to share the gospel. This would take some boldness. I pray I could have that boldness and bear fruit for God.
Another interesting thing about that passage is that it is God who reveals who Jesus is. We cannot understand Jesus or who he is without God revealing it to us. Their is no room for boasting in our knowledge of God. It all comes from Him.
