I added to an entry on StoriesOfJesus.org today, about Jesus telling his disciples once again that He would be killed. It is amazing to me that Jesus knew and taught his mission so clearly and even more amazing that he followed through, for all of us. storiesofjesus.org/jesus-again-foretells-his-death/
Today I reviewed the StoriesOfJesus.org entry about the boy that Jesus' disciples could not heal. When the boy was brough to Jesus, the father said, "Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief." Then Jesus healed the boy. I think we can all have belief and unbelief. Sometimes we just need some help so that our belief can overcome that unbelief. Jesus can make all the difference for us as He did for this boy and his father. storiesofjesus.org/jesus-heals-a-boy/
Jesus Heals a Boy His Disciples Could Not - Tell Me the Stories of Jesus

A boy kept falling into fires and was brought to Jesus. The father said "Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief." The boy was healed.
Peter, James, and John were told by God the Father that Jesus is His Beloved Son. They were able to lean on that sure witness later in the most difficult times of their life. They were also told to "Hear Him." I think of the many tiny ways I have been given witness that Jesus is the Son of God. I, too, am trying to "hear Him" in my own, smaller, imperfect way. How have you been given a witness? How have you heard Him?

Jesus was transfigured before Peter, James, and John. He was shown in a form of glory and talked with Moses and Elias.
I reviewed an entry in StoriesOfJesus.org that always makes me ponder in awe of Jesus. He said "openly" that he would go to Jerusalem and be killed. I understand how Peter didn't want that to happen. Jesus went anyway. He did what His Father sent Him to do. I am amazed. storiesofjesus.org/jesus-foretells-his-suffering-and-teaches-a-paradox/
Jesus Foretells his Suffering and Teaches a Paradox - Tell Me the Stories of Jesus

Jesus said he would be killed and rise the third day. Peter disagreed, but Jesus taught we will be saved by doing God's will, not our own.
Reviewing the story of Jesus and the Rock in the StoriesOfJesus.org site, I see several things I admire. First, Peter's boldness in declaring that he knew Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. Second, the fact that Peter knew it! and Third, the idea that Jesus can give power to people that will have an impact in the next life. It's all part of Jesus' amazing grace. storiesofjesus.org/jesus-and-the-rock/
