Good Morning, Beloved Family:

When we say that Jesus is the Rock of our salvation, what does it mean? It means that we stand, in faith, believing that Jesus Christ is the foundation by which we can call ourselves heirs, coheirs and a family of the Redeemed.

Believing and having the same revelation that Peter did, we know that Jesus is the only begotten, not made, Son of God. 

Matthew 16:13-20 

The Message (MSG)

Son of Man, Son of God

13 When Jesus arrived in the villages of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “What are people saying about who the Son of Man is?”

14 They replied, “Some think he is John the Baptizer, some say Elijah, some Jeremiah or one of the other prophets.”

15 He pressed them, “And how about you? Who do you say I am?”

16 Simon Peter said, “You’re the Christ, the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

17-18 Jesus came back, “God bless you, Simon, son of Jonah! You didn’t get that answer out of books or from teachers. My Father in heaven, God himself, let you in on this secret of who I really am. And now I’m going to tell you who you are, really are. You are Peter, a rock. This is the rock on which I will put together my church, a church so expansive with energy that not even the gates of hell will be able to keep it out.

19 “And that’s not all. You will have complete and free access to God’s kingdom, keys to open any and every door: no more barriers between heaven and earth, earth and heaven. A yes on earth is yes in heaven. A no on earth is no in heaven.”

20 He swore the disciples to secrecy. He made them promise they would tell no one that he was the Messiah.

Go in peace and faith, knowing that you are standing on an unshakable Rock, Jesus Christ, our Lord!!!
