Peter Sees

It’s really important when we read about people from the Bible that we remember their humanity. If you’ve been around church for a while, or you’ve ever watched the history channel, you’ve heard about Peter. He seems to be the most well known disciple of Jesus Christ. Most people remember him walking on water. But Peter was a real person. He was sixteen once. When he was young, he had a first job. He had hopes and dreams of what his life might be like one day. He had a best friend. He even fell in love! But there was a day, a real day, where there was a moment that he met a man who was introduced to him as Jesus. And there was a sort of magnetism about this Jesus. Peter didn’t really know why, but he wanted to hang out with Him.

Whose You Are

Did your parents have a speech that they always left you with before you left the house? Many parents stick with the classic, "Remember who you are and whose you are." I like that. It carries the implication that you are known. It's the idea that you're not walking into the world as a shadow, but you have an identity. You belong to a family.

The Apostle Paul once wrote a similar thing to his friends in the city of Philippi, in Philippians 1:27-28.

What do you wish people thought about you? It can be easy to get lost in others' perception of you. Do you think people ever talk about you behind your back?

When we’re born, we’re born into a context. We have a family, a history, and a lot of times, expectation. Maybe you were always expected to amount to something. Maybe, no one thought you would amount to anything. But there was a perception around who you were and who you were supposed to be.
