REFLECTING ON THE OLD TESTEMENT AND GOSPEL READINGS
Proverbs 1.20-33
Psalm 19 - James 2.18-26
Mark 8.27-38
"Who do you say that I am?”
Our readings once again show the power of language and teaching. Peter – who bumbles along like the rest of the disciples – gets things right; there is one answer above all for who Jesus Christ is: The Messiah.
This Jesus, whose words are eternal life, whose teachings point us to the good life, whose way is narrow but open to all, this Jesus whose love encompasses those we despise – he is the Messiah.
One of the greatest things we can undertake in this life is to confess this truth: he is not merely a good guy, a great teacher, a prophet, a desert philosopher, a victim of political and religious oppression – he is those things, of course – he is
Lord of all.
Question: Do you remember when you were
first convinced that Jesus Christ is Lord?
Peace and Grace,
Fr. Ron.
