Proper 16
Matthew 16.13-20Context
Following seven weeks of discovery, exploring parables and unwrapping miracles, we face some decisions this week. Who is Jesus? Peter’s response to this question is unequivocal and results in extraordinary responsibility.
Common thread: Key holder (Matthew 16.13-20)
In this week’s reading we hear Peter declare Jesus to be the Messiah. In response Jesus confers upon him the keys to the kingdom. We explore the notion of being such a keyholder and what the keys might actually unlock.
