     | 4,315 views

    based on 60 ratings
     | 27,238 views

    Much of our Christianity is concerned about me. Christians emphasize my forgiveness, my answered prayers, my blessings, and my spiritual gifts, and my Christian service. But at Easter, Peter had to learn, "It’s about Jesus, it’s not about you."
