When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi,
He
asked His Disciples,
'WHO
DO PEOPLE SAY THE SON OF MAN IS?'
14
They replied,
'Some
say John the Baptist; others say Elijah;
And
still others, Jeremiah or one of the Prophets.'
15
'BUT WHAT ABOUT YOU? He asked.
'WHO
DO YOU SAY I AM?'
16
Simon Peter answered,
'YOU
ARE THE CHRIST,
THE
SON OF THE LIVING GOD.'
17
Jesus replied,
'BLESSED
ARE YOU, SIMON SON OF JONAH,
FOR
THIS WAS NOT REVEALED TO YOU BY MAN,
BUT
BY MY FATHER IN HEAVEN.
18
AND ON THIS ROCKI,
I
WILL BUILD MY CHURCH,
AND
THE GATES OF HADES WILL NOT OVERCOME IT.
19
I WILL GIVE YOU THE KEYS OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN;
WHATEVER
YOU BIND ON EARTH
WILL
BE BOUND IN HEAVEN,
AND
WHATEVER YOU LOOSE ON EARTH
WILL
BE LOOSED IN HEAVEN.'
20
Then He warned His Disciples
Not
to tell anyone that He was the Christ.
(Matthew
16:13-20)
This
is the Question that faces every living person.
Who is this man, Who claims to be
the Christ of God?
Who claims He is Coming Soon,
To establish His Kingdom on Earth as
in Heaven.
