J: whom men say I am; John the
Baptist/Elias/Jeremias/prophets; J: whom say ye I am; P: Christ; J:
flesh/blood not revealed but Father; upon this rock I build church; I give
thee keys to kingdom, whatsoever thou bind on earth/bound in heaven,

|
Principle:
|
Knowing that Jesus is Christ is a blessing revealed by our
Heavenly Father, not by men of flesh and blood.
Jesus would build the church upon Peter’s declaration that
He was the Christ.
After His identity was revealed to at least Peter, Jesus
began preparing them for what was to come.
When we are passionate about the things of men rather than
the things of God, we are behaving just like Satan.

generation request a sign?

teachings of Jesus?

Why might Jesus have responded to Peter as He did when

followed Jesus?
What does it mean to lose your life for Jesus’ sake?
