judas was a friend, and peter was satan // 2011.08.04

Me and my friend's favorite poem from a book he gave me...

God is mysterious.
Adam and Eve messed life up.
Jesus called Judas "friend"
and Peter "Satan."
Jesus was crucified.
And you thought this was going to be a picnic.

In today's Gospel, Jesus asked His disciples who He is. People back then and people nowadays would readily have their own answers, but it takes more than words to answer that... it takes more to really know and understand Jesus.

How about you? What's your answer? Have you taken time lately to get to know Him really well, or do you only have empty words as an answer?
