14th. Sunday after Pentecost - Jesus the Bread of LIfe
Description
This week in our Gospel reading, John 6:56-69 we hear Jesus speaking with His disciples, knowing from the beginning who would believe and who would betray Him.
St Peter, also known as Simon Peter, was the first disciple to acknowledge that Jesus was the Christ, the Messiah, and at this confession of faith, Jesus declared that Simon, son of Jonah, would be known from then on as Peter.
But St Peter is also the man who Jesus knew would deny him three times before His crucifixion -- the disciple who wept bitterly once he heard the rooster crow.
How does the pain of knowing you've done wrong lead to the healing grace of repentance and forgiveness?
How do you trust that Jesus knows you will believe, even though He also knows you will stumble along the way?
Todays message was presented by Pastor Havard Osland from the Sydney Norweigan Church.
