Matthew 16:13-16

Date posted: June 29, 2020

Let us all remember that we are in the Holy Presence of God.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

 

Matthew 16:13-16
Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi and he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” They replied, “Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets. “He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter said in reply, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

Reflection
How profound is our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ? At an appropriate moment, Jesus was trying to ascertain his disciples with a pertinent question: who do men say that I am and who do you say that I am? Jesus was commonly known in Israel as a powerful man of God, even similar to the greatest prophets, John the Baptist, Elijah, and Jeremiah. Peter, who was still swift to react, proclaimed that Jesus was the Lord, the Son of the living God. If Jesus were to ask the same question to us, what is your response? Who is Jesus in your life?

Lasallian Guiding Principle
LGP states that, “The goal of social development interventions is to preserve and bring forth the fullness of life.” The purpose of social development initiative is to conserve and bring about the fullness of existence. As Lasallians, we agree that there is fullness of existence where human integrity is preserved and valued. God formed us in His likeness, everybody has this spiritual aspect that innate to everyone.
