But the important thing here is to read or hear this story in the context of Peter’s human nature. This is the ...read more

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on Feb 3, 2020

We’ve all heard God’s words and, hopefully, have listened intently and realized the Love He has for us and the sacrifice His Son made to free us from ourselves.

As part of the household of God, we represent Jesus in the world, and should look and act like Him.

Our gospel today from Luke is a precious moment in the life of the nascent Church. We see Jesus praying, with his followers around him. And he tells them—he tells us—about who he is and about who we are. Think of it as a sort of family portrait. Jesus is praying. All of our life, all ...read more
