Discussion Questions:
Who is Jesus according to Peter?
Who revealed who Jesus
is to Peter? How is Peter's calling our calling?
What do you think of
Jesus' rebuke of peter?
What is Jesus call
toward the disciples?
What does Jesus promise
us?
Summary thoughts: Peter's confession is truth and revealed by God. Peter is able to see Jesus as who he truly is and Jesus in turn entrusts him and the disciples with his church. However, Peter falls prey to Satan and tells Jesus to choose comfort over the cross. Ultimately, Peter's temptation toward Jesus is the question we have to face everyday: Do we take up or cross and follow or are we a slave toward comfort and the world? He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.
