Time Spent: 10 mins
Main Idea: Peter confesses Jesus as Christ
What I learned about God: Jesus is the true Christ
Summary: This is when Jesus turns to the disciples and asks who the people say the Son of Man is. People list the prophets and John the Baptist and others but Peter exclaimed that it was Jesus. Jesus explains how this is not a fact that he learned on his own, but a fact that God the Father had given to Peter. Peter as a rock of salvation, jesus said that He would build His church upon Him and whatever we bind on earth it show be bound in Heaven and whatever we let loose on earth, we let loose in Heaven. He then told the disciples not to tell anyone of His true identity.
Application: I believe in this, Jesus is showing His true sovereignty in that He reveals Himself to His disciples, but instead of allowing everyone to know, Jesus is serving rather than to be served. He did not come to earth so that we would be able to slave over Him but on the contrary, He came to save us for the eternal slavery we would be in, due to sin. I feel this passage is here to remind me of God's true soverignty. Without His true loving sacrifice, we would not be able to bask in His love and glory that He has given to us. I will be able to no realize in life, that whatever happens, God is always going to be the one who pulls the strings in our lives. As we continue to live, we must know that every action God puts in our lives is meant to be there, whether it is to bless me. scare me, or teach me a lesson. An example of this would be me going to KCM and being involved with a small group. It was completely random for me to join a small group in the beginning of the year, even though I had not gone to the school, just being a part of that experience has helped me grow and walk in pure faith and love. The amount of accountability has truly helped me grow and continue to help me grow in all that I do. I know everything in life is planned by God so that He may use me for His glory.
