If you ask friends and associates, “Who do people say I am”, I wonder what kind of response you would get. Perhaps they would say you are a good coworker, or a great boss, or maybe some would say you are a wonderful parent. Others might call you a good little league coach or a caring, thoughtful soccer mom.
I wonder if they would say you are a devout Catholic or faithful follower of Jesus Christ. Would they mention how much you love those you come in contact with ? It’s a question Jesus asks his apostles today. It’s perhaps the most important question in life today for us and for our families.
If we confess with our lips that Jesus is Lord, and if we live for Jesus and not for ourselves, we will be saved for freedom, love, joy, peace, holiness, and eternal life. Moreover when we accept the grace to live for him, Jesus will continue to reveal himself to us. He will never abandon us. If we confess that Jesus Is as Peter says, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God”, then he will come into your hearts with all his glory. And his glory has the power to purify us from our sins. It’s that important, so ask him in !
