Reflections Day 13

Day 13

First reading: 1Peter 5:1-4
Psalm 23:1-6
Gospel Matthew 16:13-19

Knowing who Jesus is as believers is not enough. Receiving him through faith is not enough. To be disciples we must respond to the call to follow him. Once we are his followers and have grown in the faith. It is our responsibility to help others reach that maturity. 

We are warned not to be domineering but to look after those God has put in our care. To do our tasks without complaining or trying to seek gain.

To those who are followers of Christ, whatever we bind on earth will be bound in heaven. In the Psalms, God promises us goodness and mercy all the days of our lives.
