from Matthew 16:13-20
Many of us try hard to avoid being put on the spot. We try hard to keep from being called to the carpet to solve a problem or answer a question. What if we’re wrong? We’d rather avoid answering than risk being wrong…
Yet, in Matthew’s Gospel we are asked a question not only that we cannot avoid, but is the most important question we will be faced with in our lives.
“Who do you say I am?”
The answer to that seemingly simple question determines everything about your present and your future…and how grateful we are that Jesus is patient and persistent in seeking our response, because He knows it means everything!
