Even when Jesus walked the earth he divided opinion, and this continues today. It’s astonishing that even today most people will have heard of him and will believe different things about him.

Peter had seen and heard some amazing things and now he understood who Jesus was and his life was transformed forever by this truth.

He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.”.
