Lesson 4117

 (Lesson 4117)(05-01-23) Matthew 16:13-17

    “When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.”

    In today’s lesson, Peter recognized Jesus as the Son of God. I would serve us well to remember this lesson as we learn more about Peter and his true devotion to Jesus.~
