What are you saying to the world about who Jesus is in your life by your daily behavior? Unlike the other disciples, Peter seems to know who Jesus is because he has spent the most time with him. There is a truth in this understanding that we can apply to our relationship with the Lord. The more time we spend developing an understanding and using Jesus’ teachings in our life, the more we begin to light the fire of desire to know him more intimately and see him as Peter did. But we must also recognize that we can be susceptible to human ways of thinking, much like Peter did. After acknowledging Jesus as Christ, we read that Peter falls into an all too familiar pattern of human thinking when he misreads the mission of Jesus. Only when we learn to empty ourselves of our will and our ways of thinking can we begin to know and understand what it means to do God’s will. That is how we learn to walk the path of holiness, the path of compassion, and become the light and love of Christ to the world.
