Misunderstanding is dangerous. You can fail an examination in school, lose a friend, or generate hard feelings in your family because of a misunderstanding. The greatest danger of all is that misunderstanding can destroy you spiritually.
Doubt and misunderstanding go back to the beginning. Satan planted doubt in the mind of Eve by questioning her understanding. “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree of the garden’?” (Gen 3:1). “Are you sure you understood him correctly?” We are aware of the tragic results. Ever since, Satan has used doubt and misunderstanding to destroy people.
Tonight we confess, “It’s Jesus, Peter, and me; and it’s all about misunderstanding—for Peter, for the other disciples, and for us.” But we will go beyond misunderstanding to the true meaning of our Lord’s mission.
