Why you hear me talking a lot about Jesus

Morning: Psalm 88; Joel 2:28-3:8; Revelation 19:11-16

Evening: Psalms 91, 92; Matthew 16:13-20

Yesterday, in case you wondered, I mistakenly offered you a reflection based on Matthew 6, not 16!  Back on track today …

The Christian Church is founded on St. Peter’s Confession that Jesus is “the Messiah, the son of the living God”.  ‘Peter’ means ‘rock’ … a solid foundation.  Based on Jesus’s next statement – “whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven” – the Church has made proclamations that have turned out not to be true. Also, the Church’s many divisions cast doubt on all of its pronouncements.  The Gospel’s call is for the Church to return to its foundation, and to seek its unity and authenticity in Jesus.  That’s why you hear me talking a lot about him.
