2007 October 21- Who Is Jesus?

This message came from Mark 8:27-30 and was about the identity of Jesus. More important than who we say he is is what we will do about it. If we say Jesus is about love, so what? Does that mean love will be reflected in who we are or is it just for Jesus? The movie clip was from Evan Almighty for everyone except Saint James-Kingstowne  where a technical glitch on our  grand opening night kept us from showing a clip- ah well… As always, take a listen and if you have comments, submit them…

Getting it right and then immediately getting it wrong…

Mark 8:31-33. After one brief shining moment of being correct, Peter makes a big mistake. It may not look that way from our perspective but to Jesus, Peter is trying to take the train down the wrong track altogether. What is so wrong with what Peter says? How can that have an effect on us today? Anyone else besides me guilty of being right one minute only to cross over to be wrong almost immediately? Was this a pride thing? These are some of the questions the Bible reading for this week seem to bring. I’ll be writing more as the week goes on and looking for comments if you have them.
