2026 Reading Plan Reflections - Day 44
by Walt Martin on February 13th, 2026
In today’s world, we often assume it is our job to defend Jesus. We feel compelled to protect His reputation, to win arguments, to overpower opponents. But Jesus tells Peter to stop. This is not how the kingdom advances. The kingdom does not grow through panic. It does not expand through violence. It does not depend on our ability to overpower critics.
