Rock-Solid Faith

Peter got a lot of things wrong in his dealings with Christ, but on the day when Jesus asked him, “Who do you say I am?” Peter got it right and proved himself an astute and faithful disciple. Jesus’ response to Peter’s confession: “You are the Rock and upon this rock I will build my church.” Jesus chose Peter — despite many instances of Peter’s flawed thinking — to care for His faith community because Peter’s spiritual core was rock solid. The lesson here for all Christians is, that it is our commitment to follow Jesus, not our perfect understanding, that creates a sturdy foundation of faith.
