On this rock

Peter ... is nothing but a man confessing his faith.
  -  Dietrich Bonhoeffer, No Rusty Swords

...It is not on Peter that God promises that he will build his church, but on Peter the believer in Jesus Christ. It is not our greatness that will further the kingdom of God, but our daring to believe the claims of Jesus and to take them seriously for the way we live.
Charles Ringma, Seize the Day with Dietrich Bonhoeffer, from the entry for 10th June.
