Chair of Peter, Apostle

1 Peter 5:1-4, Ps.23, Matthew 16:13-19

Our Confession of Faith

Today’s Gospel records the moment when Peter finally and fully realised just who Jesus was. But it was important that, as well as knowing it, he needed to say it, to make his “confession of faith.” We who also believe that Jesus is the Son of God, that he is our Lord and Saviour, we need to do the same, and regularly, in our prayers, say those words to Jesus, make our own personal confession of faith. By doing so we will deepen and strengthen that faith and our relationship with him.
