Dean John Writes 13 September
How often should I forgive? Asked Peter of Jesus. Should I forgive someone seven times? Perhaps Peter thought he was being generous. Jesus didn’t think so. ‘Not seven times, but I tell you, seventy times-seven’.
Canon Michael Writes 23 August
"Who do you say that I am?" It is one of the most searching questions Jesus ever asks. It is not simply a question for Peter, or for the disciples gathered around him at Caesarea Philippi. It is a question that echoes through every generation, inviting each of us to consider who Jesus is and what place he holds in our lives.
