Pentecost 14 - Matthew 16:21-28
The God who used a cross to bring salvation can be trusted even when your life does not look like the picture you had in your head. You do not have to make your life work. Christ has done what you could never do. He has given you life.
So when the picture falls apart, do not assume that God has.
The picture may be changing. The promise has not.
And in Christ, that is enough.
