A Strong Church
By Rusty Wilson
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 16:18
As we notice that Jesus was calling Simon Peter a rock-stone, but He wasn’t talking to Peter the natural man, He was talking about Peter as the spiritual man. A spiritual man that was receiving from God.
Peter received revelation from God the Father of Who Jesus is. The Passion Translation tells us, …And this truth of who I am will be the bedrock foundation on which I will build my church—my legislative assembly... Legislative means law-making. We are not a law-making church but a law - God’s WORD keeper and an enforcer of His WORD.
As His church, we are strong and powerful, and the gates of hell will not prevail against us. The power of death will not be able to overpower us! This is important for us as the body of Christ to understand. We do not have to fear, we stand on the solid foundation of Who Jesus is, and who we are in Him, doers of His WORD! The WORD is Who He is. Let’s continue to stand on His WORD and do His WORD daily!
Scripture Reading: Luke 10:19-20; James 1:22
