(Lesson 4118)(05-02-23) Matthew 16:18-20
“And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.”
Today’s quote relates that Jesus proclaimed that, starting with Peter, He would build His church. Again, it is important to remember that, later in our study, Jesus will refer to Peter as “Satan”.
There is another lesson within a lesson in today’s quote. Make note that Jesus said, “tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.”
During the entirety of Jesus’ ministry, Jesus, and His followers, taught that the kingdom of heaven was “to come”. It could not exist until Jesus had completed His soul saving ordeal, His death, burial and ressurection.~
