Matthew 16:13-23:
Jesus first asks the disciples for the popular opinion concerning his identity. They respond but then the next question Jesus poses is personal. What do they believe? Peter, as spokesperson, confesses that Jesus is the Messiah.
Perhaps I would have reacted as Peter did out of disbelief and fear. I see because of the rest of the story that this was all part of God’s great plan.
