Union President Samuel W. “Dub” Oliver delivered the commencement address about the importance of questions.

Oliver said the most important question ever asked was asked by Jesus to his disciples in Matthew 16:13-19. Jesus turned to his disciples and asked an intensely personal question: “But what about you? Who do you say I am?”

“You have been asked some important questions, and you will be asked some really important questions,” Oliver told the graduates. “But the grandest of those you have been or ever will be asked is found in the sixteenth chapter of Matthew, ‘Who do you say I am?’ Every person must answer that question.”

Located in Jackson, Tenn., Union University is a liberal arts-based university affiliated with the Tennessee Baptist Convention. Founded in 1823, Union is the oldest institution relating to the Southern Baptist Convention.
