A Wednesday Word: Confessed

“Who do you say that I am?”
Peter had the right response. “You are the Christ, Son of the Living God.”

It’s clear from the rest of the gospel that Peter didn’t fully grasp the theological implications of his confession. But even as he wrestled, failed, and was restored, the one thing he seemed to fully understand was this- within the presence and love of Jesus was where he wanted to be.

“Who do you say that I am?”
How shall you and I answer?

We do not need to fully grasp deep theological concepts to confess Jesus as the Christ, Son of the Living God.

We just need a desire to be within the presence and love of Jesus. Because when it comes down to it, like Peter, that’s where we find Life. That’s where we want to be.

​And that’s the right response.
