“Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, ‘Who do people say that the Son of Man is?’ And they said, ‘Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.’ He said to them, ‘But who do you say that I am?’” (Matthew 16:13-15)
The Gospel asks, “Do you want to know me?” Then it proceeds to proclaim Who He Is. Look around, the answer is there. Listen, the answer is there. “Do you want your eyes and ears opened?” I wonder if that’s what the water is for?

Who, how, what, when, why…is “Lord?”
Carol, thanks for commenting.
Before you answered, I thought of this passage:
“Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, ‘Who do people say that the Son of Man is?’ And they said, ‘Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.’ He said to them, ‘But who do you say that I am?’” (Matthew 16:13-15)
I think Jesus’ questions to Peter sum it up quite well: “Who do you say that I am?” and “Do you love me?” That pretty much wraps it up.
The Gospel asks, “Do you want to know me?” Then it proceeds to proclaim Who He Is. Look around, the answer is there. Listen, the answer is there. “Do you want your eyes and ears opened?” I wonder if that’s what the water is for?
The Gospel asks: “Are you interested in an abundant life in this one as well as the next?
Blessings all,
