A Rock Solid Faith
A Reflection by Jane Knuth
Mt. 16:18
The Gospels tell us a few things about Peter. He was an every day laborer—a fisherman. He was a family man. He didn’t always understand Jesus. He was not of the priestly class.
“Upon this rock I will build my church.”
Christ built a church on the foundation of a married worker and the holiness of a fallible person. What a strangely wondrous place to put an altar.
