Matt 16
Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." And Jesus answered him, "You are blessed, Simon son of Jonah, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but my Father in heaven!
Matthew 16:16-17 NET
Instead of going south he went north east to Caesarea Philippi. Why? Greek mythology Pan the God of nature. Jesus was the creator of the universe.
When Jesus came to the area of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?"
Matthew 16:13 NET
for all things in heaven and on earth were created by him – all things, whether visible or invisible, whether thrones or dominions, whether principalities or powers – all things were created through him and for him.
Colossians 1:16 NET
What about you? Who do you say I am? This is the most important question that confronts everyone.
Do you have a biblical answer? Who is Jesus?
You need to answer that question.
If you can't explain that you are not a Christian. Are you intentional in answering that question?
Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." And Jesus answered him, "You are blessed, Simon son of Jonah, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but my Father in heaven!
Matthew 16:16-17 NET
The Hebrew Son means same character. Of the living God.
The Vision statement of Jesus: I Will build MY church. Jesus has absolute power knowledge
He can't be overruled.
Christian have sticky fingers about their church. It belongs to Christ alone alone.
Gates implies the protection.
It's a Global statement.
How does the report card look? More countries are open than ever before.
USSR is open. Iran. Albania. Very closed a few years ago. There were only 6 believers. Now every village has the gospel. Nepal had 400 believers. Now every village has the witness of the gospel. Jesus Said I will BUILD my church. 295,000 people come to Christ every year. And going up. Christ is on the move. In the Middle East as well. Yeman has huge increase. Need disciplers.
It's not happening here because we are not taking the gospel to the streets.
