Ever want to know where you stand? What people really think about you? Well, you are good company because I believe that Jesus just wanted to know what the disciples thought. I find it very interesting that Peter is the only one that said what he thought, but then again that is the way that Peter usually was. He was the disciple that walked out on the water to Jesus after all.
I think this is why I have always respected Peter.
Peter saw Jesus for who He was and is and maybe He saw that the day that He called those fishermen to come follow him. This is powerful because there are im sure many people who thought them to be completely out of their mind and yet Peter stands strong and says that He is the Christ. The One.
So who do we say that Jesus is?
We already know who Peter says He is, but who do we?
It’s a good question to ask in our lenten journey.
Almighty God,
Help us to know at all times who you are and more importantly where you are, in our hearts. Transform us Lord to understand more and more. Thank you for your love and grace and for helping us to extend that love and grace to the world.
Amen.
