The Ultimate Pop Quiz
Do you remember the sudden jolt of a pop quiz in school? The teacher turns around and asks a question that demands an immediate answer. You can’t hide behind your textbook or rely on the student next to you. In today's Gospel reading from Matthew 16, Jesus gives His disciples the ultimate pop quiz. It is not about math or history, but the most vital subject in the universe: His own identity. As we give thanks today for the blessing of Christian education, we are reminded of exactly why we study the Scriptures. Let us quiet our hearts as we prepare to face "The Ultimate Pop Quiz."
Sermon Text: Matthew 16:13-20
