Haggai 1:15-2:9; Psalm 43; Luke 9:18-22

You are the Christ of God

Jesus asks the disciples and us, "Who do you say I am?" Did Peter really understand his inspired response, “You are the Christ of God"? In the Gospels we encounter God in Jesus. This encounter, this knowing and becoming one with Jesus has consequences. We know that Jesus the miracle worker and great lover asks us to be like him. We know Jesus the suffering servant asks us to be like him. Make time to think about how Jesus is beside you in all the paradoxical times of your life.
