15He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17And 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. 18And 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. 19And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 20Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ. 21From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day. 22Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. 23But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. 24Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow mI precieve it like this: Jesus is the head of the church. He gave peter the responsibility of the Church on earth after he left. You read : He gave Peter the keys to the Kingdom. What do Keys do? they open. So in a since Peter opened the door to the Christian faith ministry our good and Faithful Christ came and died for . Since it was Peter, Christ was speaking to, and Peters confession , I believe everything above to be true. There is one true church (Christs church) and Jesus chose Peter to start his gathering here on earth. Peter himself ,in the physical deeds ,his mouth in his confession that Jesus is the Christ and his willingness to share it with others. I love Peter he has a big mouth look at the next couple of verses21From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day. 22Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. 23But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. He really shows his heart, hes like, "Jesus dont let yourself suffer", and Jesus rebukes him becuase he is not seeing the bigger picture. It is so Identifiable with what we go through . Often we cant see why we suffer but We like Peter cannot see the bigger picture... ...
