Re:Verse passage – 2 Peter 1:12-15 (day two)
And I will also be diligent that at any time after my departure you will be able to call these things to mind. V. 15
Peter has the heart of a teacher. His desire for the church is not to remember the great things that Peter had done, but rather to be equipped to carry on without him. The legacy of faith is not dependent on personality, but on the character of Christ. Peter’s hope is that the believers know how to discern for themselves what is true, good, and beautiful. People may not speak our name the way we speak of the Apostle Peter, but the legacy of faith that we give our children will speak for generations. Giving people in our care the ability to know truth is a gift. May it be the first we give. May we hope for others to remember our lessons of faith long after they remember our names.
