*Peter, the missionary* (3)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed [it] unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 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."* (Matthew 16:17-18 (KJV))
_Bible Insight_
The revelation was definitely out of earthly frequency. "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God" was an answer mined from the realms of superior insight and wisdom.
Peter indeed struck something that provoked the next lines of Jesus. "Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed [it] unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven."
Jesus then continued, *"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"*
This does not mean that Peter was the rock upon which Jesus would build His church. It means that this high level revelation was the rock upon which the church of Christ is built.
So when you see the unlearned and confused saying "Jesus is NOT God" just know that they are getting that from the enemy of God, the devil.
This is foundational to the faith of the Lord Jesus. And every missionary understands this.
_MEDITATION:_
*It takes an encounter with the Jesus who is the son of God (and thus God himself) to be an effective missionary.*
