The passage for today is Matthew 16:16. It says, "Simon Peter answered, 'You are the Messiah, the son of the living God.'"

This passage tells us that Peter clearly stated his belief about Jesus. He said that Jesus is the Messiah, the son of the living God.

We are called to do the same. We should be able to clearly state our belief about Jesus to others. This doesn't mean that we have to give a long or complicated answer. It simply means that we should be able to say who Jesus is and why we believe in him.

When we are able to clearly state our belief about Jesus, we invite him into the dialogue. Our friends and co-workers begin to realize that we are motivated by something different than they are. This can transform our relationship with them and it might even transform their relationship with Jesus.

So let's all think about how we would answer the question, "Why are you doing this?" if someone asked us about our faith. Let's practice giving a simple, clear answer that explains who Jesus is and why we believe in him.

We are all marketplace ministers. We have the opportunity to make a difference with our faith in the world. Let's not be afraid to share our beliefs with others.
