CONFESSING IHK SON OF GO? Matthew lb; 14-2*.?July 17. MT?OH Hrl f?? Christ, tin MM v/ f/" liiitnj fffnt." OCR Master, wisely and with becoming tMiKlesty, hesitated to declare his own greatness. He allowed his action* hi speak fend to tell to hin disciples that be proceeded und came forth from G<>d, aud that in the performing of miracles, and particularly in his teachings, he was the finger of God and his mouth-piece John i he Baptist was sent to be his special fore-runner. It was he that declared I ha I Jesus was ?the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world.*' It was he that declaretb that the Master was so much greater thau himself that he was not worthy to stoop down sod loose the Master's saudals. But after John had borne him witness, testifying, "This is he," and bad declared that he saw the holy Spirit descending upon Jesus like a dove, and that this was a sign given him whereby he ?night know his Messiahshlp, then came the time fur the Master to bring the matter pointedly to the attention of big followers. John had been cast iido prison end later had been beheaded. John's prophetic testimony was fulfilled, when be said of Jesus "He must in? crease, but 1 must decrease." The mission of Jesus and bis Apostles became more prominent every day, and those who had formerly talktfl about John were now asking respecting Jesus, wind her he was a h'ophei s??ul of God. or Whether he was the Messiah. Do the rulers indeed know whether ibis ?? ?h?? Messiah or not? Surely "no man could do the miracles ?rtiict: be 'I-k-Ui iiiMtHM God be with him" in some special manner. Our Lord first Inquired respecting the general opinion of Hie people con? cerning himself. He did this, not because of his own ignorance, but Mini he might draw out the thoughts of his disciples. They replied 1 It.-1 some th.ught he was John the Baptist; others supposed he was one of the prophets The ideas of the heathen were gradually making Inroads upon the Jow*. the doctrine of reincarnation, wholly unscriptural. is suggested In thcs ? answers All the answers, of course, were wrong, for the pr ophets were ,;| de id and could not reappear until the resurrection. Then our Lord pointedly put the question to his chosen followers: "Who do yo say that I am''" ! lie courngeotis St. Peter promptly answered as spokesman for the whole rmup:i:)y. ,*Tb??ii art the Christ (Messiah), the Son of the living God." This was Hie \<;\ ttnttwor designed to be brought forth. It was the truth, hul our l^inl hesitate., ro present It. because i( would better come from the diseipfch rhemselvw Slid then have bis endorsement. Iiis answer to St. Peter was. "Blessed art thou. Simon Bar-jona, for flesh and blood hath not revealed ir iimhi thee, hut my Father which is in heaven." It was not that St. Peter had experienced a special vision or revelation, but BUCh a great spiritual fact as was then under consideration, at that time could be appreciated only by those who were specially favored ot the Father. Indeed, it is evident that the same principle still operates, for w? read. "No man can come unto me. except the Father which sent me draw him." Our primary drawing and calling is of the Father up to the time when we accept his grace in Christ and make our consecration to do his will and receive the spirit of adoption into his family as God's children; we are then put. into the school of Christ to learn of him. Let us learn the lesson that the special bless? ings always come, not only from believing in Christ, hut also from confessing to and before others. According to the Greek, our Lord replied to Peter, "Thou art a stone, and upon this rock will I build my Church." The rock upon which the Church is built is this confession which St. Peter made. St. Peter himself was not the rock, but he was one of the living stones built by faith upou the rook of truth. It was this same Apostle who so beautifully explained the whole matter, as? suring us that all consecrated believers are "living stones" in the temple of God, whose foundation and cap stone is Christ, in whom we are bnilded to? gether through the operation of the holy Spirit.?I Peter 2:4-7. The expression, "Upon this rock I will build my Church and the gates of hell [hades] shall not prevail against it," is one that is much misunderstood. The gates of hell are not gates to some place of torture, doi gates i i p irga tory. They are. In the Greek, "gates of hades*' e ' hade* sign II ei i condition of death. The passage might well be translated The gates of tbe grave shall uot prevail against it" That is to ? r. i hrisl I *un Inv res the Church to die with him, to share in his sacrifice. parently, the gates of hades hav&prevailed agains; u.e v Uurch, sgalnef oini f people, for more than eighteen centuries, nevertheless, we have the assurance that they shall not forever prevail. The Master's assurance is that by his death he has become Lord of all and has the keys of death and hade*. He has the right to open hades, the tomb, and to call forth all who have gone down into it. lie assures us that he will do this, as he says, "All that sac in their graves shall hear the voice of the Son of man and shall come forth. Nevertheless, for all these centuries it has required faith to believe that, by dying with Christ, his followers shall yet live with him?that sharing with him in his death they shall yet share with him in his resurrection to the glory, honor and immortality of the Divine nature. So, then, our lord's words mean that there will be a resurrection from the grave, and since the Church is to be "a kind of firstfruits unto God of his creatures" (James 1:18; Revelatiou 14:4), her resurrection means, indirectly, this result, the uplifting of mankind, the opening of the grave to every member of the human family. The giving of the "keys" of the Kingdom to St. Peter has no reference to locks and bars of heaven, over which St. Peter is the custodian. The Church in the present time is the Kingdom of Heaven In its preparatory or cmbryotic state, and St. Peter was privilegcnl to do the opening work to the Gospel Church. He opened the door to the Jews at Pentecost, when, as the mouth? piece of the Lord, he proclaimed the meaning of the Pentecostal blessing and the hopes then open to every Jew coining, individually Into membership in Christ, lie used the second "key" to open the same kingdom privileges to the Gentiles, in that when the due time came for Cornelius, the first Gentile con? vert, to be received. St. Peter did the work. By preaching to Cornelius the Gospel and by baptizing him into Christ he throw open the door to the Gentiles, as our Lord foretold in the words of this lesson. St. Peter's commission that whatever tilings he should bind on earth should bo bound in heaven and what tilings he should loose on earth should bo loosed In heaven, is the same that was given to the other Apostles. (See Matthew 1S:18.) It does not mean, of course, that the Lord has turned mat tors over to St. Peter and made him Lord of heaven and earth, nor that any or all of the Apostles were so honored. It simply means this: God purposes to use his Apostles and to so hold up their hands, in all their affairs, that the whole Church may have confidence in them, and may recognize their teach? ings as of Coil. If they declared that certain of the commandments under the Jewish law were not binding upon Christians, we must know that their Statements were true, and that, similarly, in heaven, the release or change is recognized. And if they hound certain doctrines and teachings, we must know that those are bound .and firmly established in heaven. In other words, we must recognize the Apostles as God's inherent mouthpieces. The time for proclaiming Jesus as the Messiah did not come until after his death and resurrection. Indeed his Messiahship properly dates from his resurrection. He desired his disciples to recognize him properly, and he explained to them about his approaching death and resurrection, but he did not 'wish them to proclaim this to the world until the due time. St. Peter, perhaps elated with the Lord's commendation of his previous speech, under? took now the role of teacher to the one whom be had just acknowledged as the Messiah. In this be erred. It was in sympathy that be urged that the Master should not think of any steps which lead to Buffeting and death, but should rather of prosperity and earthly favor, yet our Lord's reproof was pointed. He said: You are my adversary, Peter, when you thus speak to inc. You will thus endeavor to dissuade me from doing my Father's wilt to hinder me from drinking the cup w hich my Father has poured for me; your counsel is that common to the world and not of God. Similarly, the followers of Jesus sometimes need to resist their friends, who thus offer counsel contrary to Divine will and word and providence. These should not be encouraged nor their advice followed They need correc? tion from their fellow disciples, as did St. Peter. The words of Peter fur ' I shed the Master an opportunity for calling the attention of his followers to the terms of dlsclpleship. Not only must the Master himself sutler, but all of his followers likewise. This course was pro? vided for every oue, and whoever would flee from it would lose the eternal life hoped for. Whoever would take Up his cross and follow the Master to death would thereby make sure of his share in eternal life on the heavenly plane. His disciples had already pledged their earth I) lives, and for them to withhold them for worldly advantage, would mean that they would lose their souls, their lives. This is not true of the world 111 g< era I, but merely of the Church, called to be of the elect. Royal Priesthood He then assured them of his second coming, when lie would come in the glory of the Father und with his angels (messengers) not again as a man as a sacrifice At the time of his second coming be would reward every one of his followers according to the faithfulness of each.
