A sermon for the Season of Lent
Matthew 16:17-19
During Lent this year we will take up the major personalities who are involved in the Passion account, beginning with Peter. The difficulty with a project of this kind is the temptation to make it interesting. Of course we are interested, but the main thing is to ask what it means for the Gospel.
The Apostle Peter is the apostle we know the most about. Even though Paul wrote more of what we call the New Testament than anyone else, we don’t know as much about Paul’s life and what he did as we do about Peter.
