Jesus' disciples were quibbling about not having enough food for their meal; and, they had just witnessed the feeding of 4,000 people. They were quarreling about who was greatest among them; and, in the next breath, Peter declares Jesus "The Christ, the Messiah." The disciples just didn't get it. They did not understand "how God works." Neither do we, His modern disciples. Some of us, much like the religious leaders of Jesus' day, want more and more "miraculous guarantees" that He is the Son of God, the Christ, so we can stick with "the faith." Some of us, want to skip the suffering and get right to the glory part of Christian living, so try to "lead" God instead of "following" Him. Many of Jesus' modern disciples desire and vie for "greatness" among their peers, ignoring Jesus' command to love and to serve each other. Is Jesus correct? We really don't get it. We don't really understand what faith requires of us? He is the greatest; He is capable of caring for His loved ones; and, He does have requirements for those "who intend to come with " Him. Think about it.
