BOB
This is Bob Peden of Central United Methodist Church. Who do you say Jesus is? When Peter answers the questions correctly, “The Messiah of God,” Jesus warns him to repeat that to no one and tells him of all the troubles that will befall the Messiah and His followers.
And again on the beach following Jesus' death and resurrection, when Peter finally convinces Jesus that he loves him, Jesus explains to Peter the costs that will come to those who love the Messiah.
Somehow we have lost this understanding of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ. Somehow we have come to believe that only good will come to those who follow Jesus.
Somehow we have come to believe that treasure on earth merely reflects the treasure in heaven. But Jesus makes it clear that we cannot have both. Choose this day where your treasure will be.
