Do not those words touch your heart? Peter's faith in Jesus had helped him to build a priceless quality-loyalty. Peter saw clearly that Jesus was the only Savior Jehovah had provided and that Jesus saved by means of his sayings-his teachings about the Kingdom of God. Peter knew that even if there were some things that puzzled him, there was nowhere else to go if he wanted God's favor and the blessing of everlasting life.
Is that you feel? Sadly, many in today's world claim to love Jesus but fail the test of loyalty. Genuine loyalty to Christ requires that we share Peter's view of Jesus' teachings. We need to learn them, to grasp their meaning, and to live by them-even when they surprise us by running contrary to our expectations or personal preferences. Only by proving loyal can we hope to attain to the everlasting life that Jesus wants for us.- Read PSALM 97:10.
