Sunday celebrates the two most influential Christian apostles–Peter and Paul. When Jesus asks his famous question, Peter professes faith quickly that Jesus is the messiah. However, Peter requires more time and experience to become the firm believer on whom Jesus counts as the sure foundation of his new community. He journeys through misunderstanding, overpromising, and denial.
Zeal to spread Jesus’ good news to the Gentiles animates Paul over more than two decades. Educated as a rabbi, Paul wrestles with his experience of Jesus’ presence with him and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the communities he founds. He insists the crucified and risen Jesus is the wisdom and power of God with whom Christians live in inseparable union.
