In Matthew 16:13-28, Jesus and His disciples visit the region of Caesarea Philippi, where Jesus poses a critical question: "Who do people say the Son of Man is?" After hearing various responses, Jesus asks them directly, "But what about you? Who do you say I am?" Simon Peter answers, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God." Jesus praises Peter for this divine revelation, stating it was revealed by His Father in heaven. He then declares, "You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it." Jesus grants Peter the keys to the kingdom of heaven, symbolizing authority to bind and loose on earth and in heaven. Jesus also predicts His suffering, death, and resurrection, urging His disciples to take up their cross and follow Him. He highlights the eternal value of the soul over worldly gains. Join us as we explore the significance of Peter's confession and the foundational truth of Jesus as the Messiah.
