Growing in Faith
Some events, circumstances, and experiences in our lives can take on deeper meaning as the years pass.
Especially when it comes to matters of our faith and encounters with Jesus, we may find that our understanding sharpens and grow over time.
That certainly seems to be the case with Peter and his understanding of Jesus over the years.
After Jesus had ascended to heaven (Acts 1:9-11), Peter continued to reflect on the meaning of Jesus’ time spent here on earth.
Peter recalls a key moment when God had revealed Jesus’ true identity on the mount of transfiguration.
There Jesus had been revealed as the Son of God, and this is what God said about him: “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!” (Matthew 17:5).
As the years passed, the truth of this intense moment grew clearer and expanded in Peter’s mind and life, which led him to act boldly in his faith and his service for the Lord.
And in all of this Peter was guided by the power of the Holy Spirit.
In a variety of ways this can be true for us too. By recalling God’s grace to us, meditating on his Word, and engaging with God in prayer.
It is through the work of the Holy Spirit; our faith will grow and deepen. Which in turn allows us to get closer to God.
As the Lord teaches us in his Word, this is what it means to be a follower of Jesus.
May our faith and knowledge in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ continue to grow so that we can serve him faithfully as his true disciples.
