After Matthew 16:13-20
Asked the question
who do you
say I am,
it is the hothead
who answers first.
The Christ. The Son.
The Son of the Living God.
And for this act of faith
revealed not by human
understanding but by spirit,
by confession,
Simon becomes Cephas,
Cephas becomes Petrus,
Petrus becomes stone,
the foundation stone
upon which will be built
the body, the ones
called out from the crowd,
the ones who will tear
down the gates of hell,
the ones holding
the keys of heaven.

The foundation stone for the chief cornerstone . . . How fitting for this hothead!
Blessings, Glynn!
