Matthew 16:13-20 [+/-]Matthew 16:13-20
[13]Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea
Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that
the Son of Man is?" [14]And they said, "Some say John the
Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of
the prophets." [15]He said to them, "But who do you say
that I am?" [16]Simon Peter replied, "You are the Christ,
the Son of the living God." [17]And Jesus answered him,
"Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has
not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
[18]And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will
build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail
against it. [19]I will give you the keys of the kingdom of
heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in
heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in
heaven." [20]Then he strictly charged the disciples to tell
no one that he was the Christ. (ESV)
One of these days when we are least expecting it as we are going about our ordinary, daily activities; Jesus is going to come and carry His church home. He will purge and purify His church; He will perfect His beautiful body and present her to Himself as Paul puts it as a bride for her husband. She will be spotless. She will be blameless. She will be at last the beautiful body of Christ. Every truly born again and blood bought believer who has been a part of the flawed faithful upon the earth will be participants in this party.
