Reflecting on Peter’s confession at Caesarea Philippi, Deacon Wes explores the meaning of Jesus’ title ‘Son of Man’ and why Peter’s answer matters so deeply. Drawing connections between Isaiah’s image of the key of David and the Gospel’s gift of the keys to Peter, the homily emphasizes Christ’s authority and the Church’s apostolic leadership. The message invites listeners to humility before God, deeper faith in Jesus as the Messiah, and trust in the Lord’s guidance of his Church. It is a call to answer personally and faithfully the question Jesus asks every disciple: who do you say that I am?
