Matthew 16 and 17 we see Peter's spiritual roller coaster declaring Christ as Messiah followed by Jesus scolding him for trying thwart God's plan followed by seeing Jesus shrouded in the Glory of God on the mount of transfiguration.  Our lives can be the same.  Matthew's message is for us as well.

After Jesus had finished teaching the disciples and then demonstrating his message by healing, casting out demons, and showing compassion for the people, Jesus instructs his disciples to go out into the countryside and do the same.  Guess what? His instructions were as much for you and I as they were for the disciples.  Go and proclaim, "The kingdom of heaven is near.  King Jesus is on the throne."
