“Who do you say that I am?”

Luke 9:18-24

Peter’s declaration of faith invites us into bolder, more courageous faith and intimacy with Jesus, the Christ–with an understanding that we, like Peter, will also at times misunderstand or get things wrong or not quite be able to fully grasp something. And with an understanding that faith is not a static thing, but a growing thing–something that develops and enlarges and deepens throughout one’s life (as it did for Peter).
