I Will Give You
The Keys Of The
Kingdom
Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he
asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” And they said,
“Some say John the Baptist, but others Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one
of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter
answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” And Jesus answered
him, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed
this to you, but my Father in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on
this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail
against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you
bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be
loosed in heaven.” They he sternly ordered the disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.
Matthew 16:13-20
Every individual who considers Jesus Christ makes some judgment
about Him. In fact, the short life of Jesus has been the most influential ever
lived. Through Him millions have been transformed and have begun to live the
life He exemplified. The birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus have been
the most important events in the history of man.
