Once again this morning we listen with Peter as Jesus whispers
this hauntingly beautiful question to each of us, “Who do you say that I am?
Who am I for you?” Perhaps when we come to understand ourselves as sinners
desperately loved by Christ, we can say with Peter, “You are the Messiah, the
Son of the living God. To whom else shall we go? All I want is
to know you, Lord Jesus and the power flowing from your resurrection.
Everything else is rubbish. You are all that I desire. You are my love, my
fortress, my stronghold, my rescuer, my rock, the God who shows me love always and everywhere, moment by moment."
