THEME: THE ROCK
Matthew 16:16-19 NIV
“Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
INSIGHT
-Interested in knowing whether they understood who He was, Jesus asked His disciples saying, “who do people say the Son of Man is?” They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” Probably some among the disciples thought He was one of these. Jesus also asked who they thought He was and Peter responded as the Father revealed to him. Upon Peter’s revelation of Jesus, the Messiah and Son of the living God, Jesus built His church. Many have argued differently regarding this scriptures. Since all scriptures point to Christ, Peter is not the rock but Christ is (1 Corinthians 10:4). The revelation of the truth regarding Christ is the rock upon which the eccesia was founded. When we have Christ in our lives, we have power and dominion to overcome all the deceptions of the devil, the power of eternal death and hades, for Christ is the Founder and Ruler of the church.
PRAYER
Lord we believe in You and Your word. We believe that You came for us. You died for us and resurrected for us, for our everlasting life and victory over eternal death and hades. Thank You Lord for showing us great life, and for laying Your life for us Your friends. We pray for the church, the body of Christ that You may lead Your children in the true doctrine. Jesus You are the way, the truth and the life, and no one comes to the Father except through You. May You touch and transform the souls and lives of all those who do not know You as Lord and Savior, Messiah of the world. May You show us the path of life and lead us on a straight path for Your righteousness sake. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us now, and forevermore. Amen
