Friday within the 25th week, Year C. Luke 9:23-26

"You are the Christ, the Son of the living God,"
"Christ" is the Greek word for "Messiah," which means the "Anointed One." Jesus is the long-promised King sent by God to rescue the world. This profession of faith made for the first time by Peter should be ours, daily. "You are the Christ". Jesus, the unique God's divine Son, is the Savior and the Redeemer as opposed to the lifeless idols worshipped by pagans. For us, affirming Jesus as our Messiah implies embracing Him as both God and Savior. Therefore, our entire life must be built upon him as the "rock" without which everything fails and falls. He is the God who can shake the heavens and makes the impossible things happen.

Jesus, I trust in you
