Maaalahahlp of Jaaua.
The time has now come for the King
to take account of his ministry.
This confession In some sense mark*
the turning point In Christ's ministry.
Hereafter It Is more restricted to his :
disciples. Two reasons are sufficient i
why this should be (tt. V12): (1)
The Pharisees and Sadducees show |
their attitude towards him lu their da- j
mand for a sign. His answer ti that !
none shall be given save that of his J
death and resurrection, a* symbolised ,
In the experiences of the Prophet j
Jonah. (2) The dlsciplea ahow their
inability to understand the spiritual
nature of hla teaching. When he
warned them of the leaven of the
Pharisees and Sadducees they under
stood him to refer td bread, wlien be
meant their doctrine. It was at this j
crisis when Christ turned from the j
nation which had rejected him, that ]
Peter made this great confession. It |
was made in the borders of Caesarea- j
Phlllppl, practically Gentile territory, j
I. Peter's Confeaalon (tt. 13-16).
Two questions of Christ provoked j
this confession:
1. The question as to the opinion of j
the people concerning him.
They recognized him as a teacher or
ft prophet of more than human author
ity and power. Today, as then, there j
Is a diversity of opinion among the j
people as to Jesus Christ Some think
he Is only a man; others, that he Is a
great teacher, but nothing more. Had j
he been content with this he would j
not have been molested in Jerusalem, |
for the Jews willingly acknowledged
him as more than a human teacher, i
It was his persistent claim to be the !
God-man, the Son of God, that sent
him to the cross.
2. The second question Involved the
personal opinion of the disciples con
cerning him. To be able to tell what j
others think of Jesus Is not enough;
there must be definite, correct, and j
personal belief In him.
II. The New Body, the Church, An- i
nouneed (vv. 17-20).
Peter had made a noble confession
of Christ, so now Christ confesses him. [
If we confess Christ he will confess us (
(Matt. 10:32, 33). Christ declared his j
Intention of bringing Into existence a
new body to the members of which he
will give eternal life, and to whose
hands he will entrust the keys of the
Kingdom. Peter was to have a dis
tinguished place In this body. The
keys entrusted to him were used on
the day of Pentecost, and again In the
?ase of Cornelius. Association In this
new body cannot be broken by death,
for the gates of hades shall not prevail
against it This body, the church, is of
a heavenly origin, a heavenly calling,
and a heavenly Inheritance.
Ml. Ths Cross the Way to the
Throne (w. 21-33).
This was, no doubt, startling to the
diselplej. They did not realize that re
demption was to be accomplished
through the passion of the cross. So
unwelcome was this announcement
that Peter cried, "This shall not be
unto thee." Peter later saw through
this darkness to the glory on the hill
top beyond. A new hope then filled
his breast (1 Peter 1:8, 4). Victory
through death Is yet the stumbling
block of many. Many are stumbling
over the doctrine of salvation and re
demption through the suffering of the
cross. All such are nnder the control
of the devil *(v. 23). Salvation by
blood, the devil hates.
IV. The Cost of Dlsclplsship (vv. 24
27).
To follow Christ means suffering. To
follow him Is to turn one's back upon
the world. Life can only be saved by
losing It. If we are going to be Chris,
tlans we must share Christ's suffering.
We cannot go to heaven on flowery
beds of ease.
1 There must he denial of self (v.
24). There Is a wide difference be
tween self-denial and denial of seif.
Self-denial Is practiced everywhere by
ail people, but only the disciples of
Christ or Christian people deny self.!
Christ takes the place of self. ,
2. "Take up his cross." This ctoss
Is the suffering and shame which lie
In the path of loyalty to God. To do
our duty will mean suffering (2 Tim.
3:12).
3. Follow Christ. This means to
have the mind of Christ, to do like
Christ. All such shrill be rewarded
when Christ comes In'g'lory.
Christian C&araeier.
One truly Christian tlfe will do more
to prove the divine origin of Chrlatlaa
ity than many lectures. It ts of much
greater Importance to develop Chris
tian character than to exhibit Chris
tian evidences.?J. M. Gibson.
