Jesus asked the disciples who people thought He was. It’s apparent from the answers He received
that “they had opinions instead of convictions,” my commentary said. Peter rightly said Jesus was the Christ –
Messiah. But because Jewish tradition
focused on the reign of Messiah,
Peter then told Jesus to stop
talking about His death on the cross! My
commentary said, “They were following Satan’s philosophy (glory without
suffering) instead of God’s
philosophy (suffering transformed into glory).”
When Jesus talked about giving up their lives to have true life, He was talking to His disciples,
“men who had already confessed Him
as the Son of God. He was not telling
them how to be saved and go to heaven, but how to save their lives and make the
most of their opportunities on earth. Losing
your soul is the equivalent of wasting
your life, missing the great opportunities God gives you to make your life
count,” my commentary added.
Father, thank You for showing me that, and for giving me incredible opportunities to
show You to others! Don’t let me waste a
single opportunity!
Your Brother In Christ,
Gary Ford
