Scripture: Matthew 16:13-20; Romans 12:1-8
Nearing the end of our summer season we heard this week the children's story "Princess Wannabe" by Leslie Lammle.
"Fern just wants to know what it's like to be a princess—and she wants to find out for herself! With the help of a little fairy dust, Fern gets her wish. Follow Fern as she journeys into her favorite fairy tales to discover what the life of a princess is really like.
In this refreshing modern fairy tale, author-illustrator Leslie Lammle breathes new life into familiar classics with appealing watercolors and clever reinventions of characters like the Frog Prince and the Big Bad Wolf. Readers will cheer as strong, independent Fern finds her way through a not-so-traditional story." (Amazon.ca)
Matthew 16:13-20
Peter Declares That Jesus Is the Messiah
13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
14 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
15 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. 18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” 20 Then he ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.
