Wandering Heart : Praise the Mount | Rev. Steve Smith

Passage: Matthew 16:13-20

"He asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” And they said, “Some say John the Baptist but others Elijah and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” "But who do you say I am?"

Imagine Christ turning and asking you the same question he asks of the disciple Peter. How might you respond? In our scriptural lesson, Peter declares who Jesus is to him, stating with conviction that Christ is the mountaintop onto which he will affix his life on top of. How Jesus is the living God made fully present in God's humanity to all of us. Join us this Sunday as we explore how when life gets rocky we lean on our conviction of who Jesus Christ is to our life and salvation.
