The Start of All Answers(Matthew 16:13~20)
Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”(16)
Hymn #290 I Have a Savior He's Pleading in Glory(Unified Hymn 412)
After giving a tremendous blessing, Jesus told the disciples not to speak about it. This meant they should wait. The disciples saw Jesus as Jeremiah, Elijah, John the Baptist, or one of the prophets. Jesus told them not to speak because He had to remove every condition that would lead to destruction. You must confirm this because you’re someone who’ll receive answers to prayer and carry out world evangelization. Satan has confined you in traps(Self, the Nephilim, and the Tower of Babel), frames, Shamanism, fortune telling, and idols and snares(The 6 fates). From there, you must come out through Christ and go to the Triune God. You must come out from religions that have no Gospel. You must come out of powerlessness, humanism, and the grave where evangelism doesn’t take place. You must come out from the antichrist. Your true answer lies within world evangelization. Jesus told them not to speak because three answers still remained.
1. Since Much Persecution Remains, Prepare and Wait
After Jesus was executed on the cross, everyone ran away. From that moment, persecution from the Jewish people and Rome began in full force. Those who held onto the covenant there began to enjoy answers. Likewise, you must be able to see God’s answers in every event and circumstance.
2. Because True Answers Remain, Don’t Go Out and Wait
Christ is the true Priest who removed disasters, the true Prophet who became the way to meet God, and the true King who defeated Satan. You must enjoy this fact(Genesis 3:15, Exodus 3:18, Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 16:16). Christ was prophesied before eternity, came in human flesh according to the promise, died, and rose again according to Scripture. Now He’ll return as the Lord of the Second Coming and the Judge.
3. Real Blessings You Must Receive Still Remain
Jesus gave Peter three blessings, which include the rock, the authority to overcome the forces of darkness, and the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Jesus came to Peter, who had made mistakes twice, and told him to feed His lambs. Then Jesus gave him an even greater commission which included the Bartizans, Joumeys, and Guideposts of the Throne.
The difficulties you face aren’t a major problem. You’ve been given a greater commission. You’re a watchman who protects your family line and your nation by relaying the light. Therefore, you mustn’t be deceived by yourself, reality, or Satan.
