Who Are You, Jesus?
Jesus went on with his disciples to the
villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he asked his disciples, "Who
do people say that I am?" And they answered him, "John the Baptist;
and others, Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets." He asked them,
"But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered him, "You are the
Messiah." And he sternly ordered them not to tell anyone about him.
Then
he began to teach them that the Son of Man must undergo great suffering, and be
rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and
after three days rise again. He said all this quite openly. And Peter took him
aside and began to rebuke him. But turning and looking at his disciples, he
rebuked Peter and said, "Get behind me, Satan! For you are setting your
mind not on divine things but on human things."
He
called the crowd with his disciples, and said to them, "If any want to
become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and
follow me. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who
lose their life for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel, will save it. For
what will it profit them to gain the whole world and forfeit their life?
Indeed, what can they give in return for their life? Those who are ashamed of
me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of them the Son of
Man will also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy
angels.”
Mark 8:27-38

We can easily forgive a child
who is afraid of the dark;
the real tragedy of life is
when we are afraid of the light. *

The pages are still blank,
but there is a miraculous feeling of the words being there,
written in invisible ink
and clamoring to become visible.
