Evening: Psalm 73; Matthew 16:21-28
Peter’s faith is like a “rock”, but he cannot accept that Jesus will lose his life because of his message. Peter resists and becomes a “stumbling-block”. Jesus’ message draws lethal resistance from the powerful ones who resist the transformation he brings. The Way of Jesus demands that, as his apprentice, you must be ready to offer your life. This rarely means you have to die for him. But, as many of Jesus’ followers discover, the moment you stop grasping at life is the moment you discover what an amazing gift life is.
