plucked my beard my face i did not shield from buffets and spitting the lord god is my help therefore i am not disgraced i have set my face like flint knowing that i shall not be put to shame he is

gracious is the lord and just yes our god is merciful the lord keeps the little ones i was brought low and he saved me [Music] [Applause] [Music] a reading from the letter of saint james what good is it my brothers and sisters if someone says he has faith but does not have works can that faith save him if a brother or sister has nothing to wear and has no food for the day and one of you says to them go in peace keep warm and eat well but you do not give them the necessities of the body what good is it so also faith of itself if it does not have works is dead indeed someone might say you have faith and i have works demonstrate your faith to me without works and i will demonstrate my faith to you from my works the word of the lord thanks be to god [Music] hallelujah [Music] foreign [Music] my sheep hear my voice [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] the lord be with you and a reading from the holy gospel according to mark glory to you o lord jesus and his disciples set out for the village of caesarea philippi along the way he asked his disciples who do the people say that i am they said in reply john the baptist others elijah still others one of the prophets then he asked them but who do you say that i am peter said to him in reply you are the christ then you warned them not to tell anyone about him he began to teach them that the son of man must suffer greatly and be rejected by the elders the chief priests and the scribes and be killed and rise after three days he spoke to this openly peter took him aside and began to rebuke him at this he turned around looking at his disciples rebuked peter and said get behind me satan you are thinking not as god does but as human beings do jesus summoned the crowds with his disciples and said to them whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself take up his cross and follow me for whoever wishes to save his life will lose it but whoever loses his life for my sake and that of the gospel will save it the gospel of the lord praise to you lord jesus christ so in the gospel story jesus asked that powerful question who do the people say that i am now in some ways it seems like he's conducting a popular opinion poll based upon jesus's preaching as well as the miracles that people have witnessed have they formed an opinion of him now the apostles they give these wild answers john the baptist elijah one of the prophets now the common denominator amongst all those answers they are dead wrong and then he turns the question to his apostles notice they're all quiet they don't really know who jesus really is except peter peter answers and he says you are the christ now why is it that peter knows in the other 11 don't is it because peter is the smartest of all the apostles hardly he's a simple fisherman and he's illiterate it's because peter is the holiest of all the apostles hardly his faith vasculates sometimes it's hot sometimes it's cold remember the story in which jesus invites him to walk in the water peter takes a few steps starts sinking into the water jesus grabs them and he says oh ye of little faith the moment when jesus needed peter the most in his passion it's peter that denied him three times and he even knew jesus so it begs the question how does peter get it well i think we have to look to matthew's account of this story in which jesus says flesh and blood did not reveal this to you but my heavenly father here is the first lesson that we can take from this peter represents the church only in the church can we see and understand the fullest expression of the truth as well as the presence of god now some people will say i see you know god in the beauty of nature sure or i see god in special events the birth of a child sure but the fullest understanding of the presence of god and the knowledge of him can only come in the church in our doctrine and our dogma in sacred scripture in our rituals as well as our sacraments that's why it's so important to remain in the church now notice next in the story jesus teaches the disciples and us what discipleship really looks like he says whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself take up his cross and follow me now realize prior to jesus the cross was feared and hated by people it was an instrument of death and yet now through christ the cross becomes the greatest symbol of self-sacrificing love the world has ever known jesus climbs that cross for you and i he climbs that cross because he loves us so much he wants to save us and so jesus said there is no greater love than to lay one's life down for another that's what he did for us well now we must carry our cross in order to follow jesus now we have to live out that self-sacrificing love in the world for others yet notice here in the story before we can carry our cross we have to deny ourself which means we have to take on the attitude my life is not about me my wants my desires they all come first everything is second no we got to place that aside instead we have to put others before ourselves we have to serve the needs of others before we serve our own friends this is a powerful gospel for us this week strongly encourage you take some time this week can't afford not to reread this gospel pray over it jesus tells us his identity but he also reveals his mission and the consequence of that mission more to it he tells us our mission if we truly are authentic followers of christ i believe in god the father almighty creator of heaven and earth and in jesus christ his only son our lord who was conceived by the holy spirit born of the virgin mary suffered under pontius pilate was crucified died and was buried he descended into hell on the third day he rose again from the dead he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of god the father almighty from there he will come to judge the living and the dead i believe in the holy spirit the holy catholic church the communion of saints the forgiveness of sins the resurrection of the body and life everlasting amen recognizing the presence of god in our midst we turn to him now with these petitions for the church that we may always reach out with the necessities of the body to those who have nothing to wear or no food for the day or place to call home we pray to the lord lord hear our prayer for world leaders that they may lead their people with humility recognizing common dignity of all humanity and establishing and promoting policies that lift up those who are marginalized and forgotten we pray to the lord lord hear our prayer for our grandparents living and deceased that all they have done for their children and grandchildren may be appreciated and that they may be respected and revered by their loved ones we pray to the lord lord hear our

is my body which will be given up for you in a similar way when supper was ended he took the chalice and once more giving thanks he gave it to his disciples saying take this all of you and drink from it for this is the chalice of my blood the blood of the new and eternal covenant which will be poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins do this in memory of me let us proclaim the mystery of faith [Music] and resurrection [Music] therefore as we celebrate the memorial of his death and resurrection we are for you lord the bread of life and the chalice of salvation giving thanks
