Title Bold Confession of Faith/Psalm 9:9,10
Contents
Text: Simon Peter answered and said, You are the Christ, the living God
Son of God (Matthew 16:16)
Word: Peter was originally a fisherman in the Sea of Galilee. He was his younger brother.
Through Andrew, I understood Jesus only as a “teacher.”
Then one day, Peter worked all night and caught no fish.
It was at that time that Jesus came to see Peter.
In obedience to the word of the Lord, Peter filled an empty stomach with meat.
I have experienced a miracle.
After experiencing a miracle, Peter fell down to Jesus and said, “I am a sinner.”
Because he was only known as a moral and good teacher in the past.
Because he realized that this was the Christ. So Peter
The same sinner felt guilty that he could not stand before the Lord, and the Lord
I was telling you that He would leave me. But Jesus is a sinner.
He chose Peter, who confessed so well, to be his disciple, and as Jesus' chief disciple, he always
You have allowed us to enjoy the blessed life of walking with you.
One day, just before Jesus went up to Jerusalem, in the region of Caesarea Philippi,
He called his disciples together and asked, “Who do people say I am?”
At this time, the disciples said, “John the Baptist, Elijah, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
I will.” Then Jesus said to his disciples, “You
Who do you think I am?” At this time, Peter said, “You are a Greek
He is a city, the Son of the living God.” Peter’s Answer
When Jesus heard this, he said, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah. Let this be known to you.
God is not flesh and blood, but my Father who is in heaven.”
The word Christ means “the anointed one.” In the Old Testament, oil
There were only three people who were to be anointed: the king, the priest, and the prophet.
For this reason, the content of Peter's confession in Matthew 16:16 is "The Lord
is the King of my power, and the Lord is the Priest who pays for my sins.
The Lord is my truth.”
Even today, there are people who accept Jesus as the Christ and the Son of God.
On the other hand, there are those who understand as great teachers, saints, or religious figures.
I did.
Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, like Peter, we received Jesus as our personal savior.
A believer who boldly confesses this will have a living faith.
Please note.
Prayer: Grant us the same faith as Peter. Peter, strong and courageous.
Help me to act and live. I pray in Jesus name. Amen.
