PETER'S GREAT CONFESSION.
' .1
LESSON TEXT-Matt 16:13-24.
GOLDEN TEXT?Thou are the Christ,
the Son of the living GocL?Matt. 16:16.
ADDITIONAL MATERIAL?Mark 8:27x
-38; Luke 9:18-26; John 6:66-69.
PRIMARY AND JUNIOR TOPIC-What
Peter confessed.
INTERMEDIATE TOPIC-What It
means to confess Christ.
SENIOR AND ADULT TOPIC?The
Messiahship of Jesus.
The time has now come for the King
to take account of his ministry.
This confession in some sense marks
the turning point in Christ's ministry.
Hereafter it is more restricted to his
disciples. Two reasons are sufficient
why this should be (w. 1-12)2 (1)
The Pharisees and Sadducees show
their attitude towards him in their demand
for. a sign. His answer is that
none shall be given save that of his
death and resurrection, as symbolized
In the experiences of the Prophet
Jonah. (2) The disciples show their
. . Inability to understand the spiritual j
nature of his teaching." When he
warned them of the leaven of the
Pharisees and Sadducees they understood
him to refer to bread, when he
meant their doctrine. It was at this
crisis when Christ turned from the ;
nation which had rejected him, that
Peter made this great confession. It
was made In the borders of CaesareaPhillppi,
practically Gentile territory.
i. Peter's Confession (w. 13-16).
Two questions of Christ provoked
this confession:
I. The question as to the opinion of
the people concerning him.
They recognized him as a teacher or
a prophet of more than human authority
and power. Today, as then, there
Is a diversity of opinion among the
people as to Jesus Christ. Some think
hie is only a man; others, that he is a
great teacher, but nothing more. Had
he been content with this he would
not have been molested in Jerusalem,
for the Jews willingly acknowledged
him as more than a human teacher.
It was his persistent claim to be the
<God-man, the Son of God, that sent
him to the cross.
2. The second question involved the
personal opinion of the disciples concerning
him. To be able to tell what
others think of Jesus is not enough;
there must be definite, correct, and
personal belief in him.
II. The New Body, the Church, Announced
(w. 17-20).
Peter had made a noble confession
of Christ, so now Christ confesses him.
W iro /innfacc fhrlof ho will PrurfoSS US
U TW wu&W9M vmtigrv mv vvmavw ??
(Mfrtt 10:32, 33). Christ declared his
Intention of bringing into existence a
new body to the members of which he
will give eternal life, and to whose
hands he will entrust the keys of the
Kingdom. Peter was to have a distinguished
place in this body. The
keys entrusted to *him were used on
the day of Pentecost and 'again in the
case of Cornelius. Association in this
new body cannot be broken by death,
for the gates of hades shall not prevail
i against it. This body, the church, is of
a heavenly origin, a heavenly calling,
and a heavenly inheritance.
IIL. The Cross the Way to the
Throne (vv. 21-33).'
This was, no doubt, startling to the
disciples. They did not realize that redemption
was to be accomplished
through the passion of the cross. So
unwelcome was this announcement
that Peter cried, "This shall not be
unto thee." Peter later saw through
this darkness to the glory on the hill~
top beyond. A new hope then filled
his breast (1 Peter 1:3, 4). Victory
through death is yet the stumbling
block of many. Many are stumbling
over the doctrine of salvation and redemption
through the suffering of the
cross. All such are under the control
of the devil (v. 23). Salvation by
blood, the devil hates.
IV. The Cos? of?DiscipieshIp (vv. 2427).
To follow Christ means suffering. To
follow him is to turn one's back upon
the world. Life can only be saved by
losing it If we are going to be Christians
we must share Christ's suffering.
We cannot go to heaven on flowery
beds of ease.
L There must be denial of self (v.
24). There is a wide difference between
self-denial and denial of self.
ta everywhere bv
!* ?? ? ? w - - ?
all people, bat only the disciples of
Christ or Christian people deny self.
Christ takes the place of self.
2. 'Take np his cross/' This cross
is the suffering and shame which lie
fn the path of loyalty to God. To do
our duty will mean suffering (2 Tim.
8:12).
8. Follow Christ. This means to
^ have the mind of Christ, to do like
Christ. All such shall be,rewarded
when Christ comes in glory.
Christian Character.
One truly Christian life will do more
to prove the divine origin of Christianity
than many lectures. It is of much
greater Importance to ueveiop ^nns:
tian character than to exhibit Chris*

FAIR WEEK VISITOR LOSES
$1,600 AFTER AN AUTO RIDE
WITH A "WILD WOMAN FROM
THE FAIR GROUNDS
In town just a few hours, and bing!
goes $1,600.
I Sadder but wiser, and poorer, a
farmer from the upper part of Richland
County goes back home today,
after an experience with a "wild
woman" that was costly enough to
have done for a week in the big town.
The farmer in question came to

year, and sold his cotton for $1,600,
keeping the money in his pocket.
Then he decided to see the Fair and
see what the lights looked like at
night.
Arriving at the Fair grounds he
began taking in the sights, seeing all
the sideshows and looking them all
over with a glad eye. In one of the
shows he wished to see what his roll
of iron men ldoked like, and flashed
it unadvisedly. In some mysterious
manner he got into conversation with
a woman who may or may not have
seen his roll flash. At any rate, so
the story goes, they took a trip
through the midway, and upon her
j suggestion indulged in a .motor trip to
I the city and supper. After the supper,
a few drinks of something labelled
"cola." Oh, you label!
Then a motor trip back to the Fair
