Proper 16—August 23, 2026
from Preaching among the Palms Hosted by Fr. Jeffrey Hanson
At the center of today's Gospel reading is a crucial question that everyone must answer for themselves. Jesus asks his disciples: "Who do you say I am?" The answer matters a great deal. Throughout human history many people of great spiritual insight and depth have made all kinds of claims about their identities and accomplishments. Peter answers the question of Jesus in a way that he approves: "You are the Christ, the Son of God." Fr. Jeff explains how this breakthrough on Peter's part changes everything in human history from here on out.
