In this passage Peter lays out several “warning signs” to help us identify dangerous teachings and false paths in a world of multitudinous options.

Jesus takes Peter aside and restores him to his calling by reminding him of what it truly means to love Him; it means serving and caring for His people. Our love for Jesus is meant to overflow into how we love and serve others. This is the mark of a truly Christian life; we love the way Christ first loved us.

To those outside the church, it often appears like Christians are just the tools of a political party, adding holy sound bites to someone else’s political agenda. On the flip side, there are many inside the church who have taken an increasingly adversarial posture toward government and politics. So which is it?

Rather it is one single narrative from beginning to end, with one central character: God. In its opening pages we are introduced to him and to some foundational truths which echo throughout the rest of Scripture’s pages. Specifically, in the opening lines of Scripture we learn that, before the beginning, there was God, there was love, and there was darkness. And these three things are important for us because they help us understand that all of creation ultimately finds its purpose in God and that our lives are designed for self-giving love with God.

And this shouldn’t surprise us because we are made in the image of our God who is Himself a community (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). Perhaps that is why this past year has been so difficult: it has been a year in which we are not only separated physically, but separated relationally. Between COVID and cultural conflict, social media fights and social division, it is no wonder we are exhausted, worn down, and depressed. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Paul himself writes, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith” (2 Tim. 4:7). This means that though our journey through the Being Challenge is coming to an end, the journey is just beginning.

Quite simply, they were sold out for Jesus…together...and people noticed. Choosing church brings consistency into our lives. And the consistency that it brings is the good news of Jesus. The church is the consistent place where the good news of Jesus is proclaimed in word and deed, so that we can hear, experience, and live in light of his grace. And part of being the church is recognizing that God has given each of us gifts to use in helping others to look, live, and love more like Jesus.

Which is why, in the midst of his busiest seasons of ministry Jesus took time away to be with his Father. Solitude was a central practice of his life, for in solitude he could be truly present to what his Father was saying. Solitude isn’t isolation; it is a place of restoration and re-focus in which we get back in tune with the God who loves us and allow him to re-shape our priorities.

He prayed to seek his father’s guidance, he prayed before feeding the 5000, he prayed at meals, he prayed in the morning, he prayed in the evening, he prayed before he raised Lazarus from the dead. Looking at all these prayers of Jesus, what we find is that he was in nearly constant conversation with his Father. In fact, Jesus’ prayers seemed so powerful and moving that, finally, his disciples came to him and demanded, “Teach us to pray!” And the beautiful thing is…he does!
