Preached for Church of the Good Shepherd, Federal Way, WA.
“Who do you say that I am?” Jesus asks his disciples. Peter, whose faith frequently falters, gets the right answer, “You’re the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
Peter’s answer, even if he might not know what it means, even if it’s an answer of faith rather than evidence (yet), has me thinking it’s probably important for us to be able to name who Jesus is as well. As his disciples in the 21st century. As followers of a living God, whose story is still unfolding.
