Matthew 16: 13-18
Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" And they said, "Some say John the Baptist, but others Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets." He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God." And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it."
who do you say He is?

I say he was a good man, with many good things to teach. No more deific than I am, but we all carry a spark of the divine within us, and he was one of many to recognize that. Unfortunately, many people misinterpret his words and teachings way too literally.

I agree with Peter. He is the Christ, the Son of the living God.

Jesus is the Son of God. He is Lord of lords and King of kings. He is the Son of Man. The Rock of all ages. Sides all that...He is my best Friend, my Confident, my Redeemer, Peace, Hope, Salvation, etc.

I say:
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, died on the cross for my sins.
He is the coming Messiah for Israelites.
For me He is (my) savior coming for me to take into His place where I can live with Him eternally

He was a fraud, who if he performed any miracle at all, was empowered of Satan the Adversary, to test the Jews and see if they understood the prophecies. Those who followed him, including Christians and the so-called "Messianic Jews" are those who failed this test and were led away from G-D.
http://www.jewsforjudaism.org list the hundreds of prophecies Jesus failed to fulfill.
Jesus was NOT a member of the tribe of Judah since he had no biological father (according to the Bible).
Jesus did NOT directly descend from David through Solomon, patriarchally.
Jesus did NOT gather all the Israelites and restore them to Israel.
Jesus did NOT rebuild the Temple (in fact, it FELL shortly after he allegedly died).
Jesus did NOT rule, let alone at a time of world-peace.
Jesus did NOT rule, let alone at a time all Jews everywhere kept perfect observance of the mitzvot.
Jesus did NOT rule, let alone at a time when all peoples everywhere would know and acknowledge G-D alone, and serve him in perfection.
