Topic: Building the church (Sunday special)
Matthew 16:17-18 KJV
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. [18] And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Apostle Peter just confessed Jesus as Lord in the earlier verse, and Jesus confirmed it to be a divine revelation. Jesus went further to say He will build His church on that revelation of Jesus as Christ, and Son of God.
"Matthew 16:16 KJV
And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God."
Any church which is not built on this rock, Jesus Christ the Son of God, is not a church.
Are in a church or association or a social gathering?
They are liars!
"1 John 2:22-23 KJV
Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. [23] Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also ."
As you go to church today, remember it's all about Jesus, not your pastor.
Prayer: Oh Lord Jesus Christ, let my life be established upon the rock and build me as a part of your church.
Remain blessed
"The church is all about JESUS, not any man!" (Omoloye A A)
