When Jesus Gets Intense

There are moments in which Jesus doesn’t seem to us like…well, Jesus. Most of the times, when Jesus had to issue stern corrections or teach hard truths, we can find ourselves squirming. When Peter chose to defy something important that Jesus was teaching His closest disciples, the Savior took swift action to remind Peter that He was not only the Savior but also Peter’s MASTER. From that interaction, Jesus also taught all of us what is required to follow Him. His words reveal the intensity of His expectation for all who are considering what it means to come and follow Jesus with the rest of their lives.
