Many of us struggle with deciphering god’s will for our lives. Peter, on the other hand, received from Jesus a call that marks a turning point, establishing Peter’s leadership role in the church. Matthew 16:13-20
From the very beginning, Peter stood out. He was outspoken, brash, and even intolerable. He wasn’t afraid to stand out, even when it meant taking a risk. This illustrates how his boldness sometimes outweighed his caution. Matthew 14:24-33
To those of the ancient world, the stone over a grave reminded everyone of the finality of death. Like the weight of that stone, the burden of death casts a long shadow over the living. Mark 16:1-6
Sometimes, the consequences of our actions become clearer after the fact. For one Roman soldier, the death of Jesus confirmed something he felt all along. Luke 23:44-49
