\ndoing intros for the last two
\nweeks. <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:48,700 –> 00:00:51,100
\nIt was great having him

12
\n00:00:52,200 –> 00:00:54,900
\nFor this week’s class.
\nWe have an opportunity to have <\/p>\n

13
\n00:00:55,300 –> 00:00:58,500
\nanother guest introducer this
\ntime my brother Alan Laban who <\/p>\n

14
\n00:00:58,500 –> 00:01:02,700
\nactually gave the classes that
\nwere picking from for the <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:02,700 –> 00:01:06,200
\npodcast this week brother Alan
\ngave a series at the Wichita <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:06,200 –> 00:01:11,400
\nFalls studied a on Simon Peter.
\nThis is specifically his third <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:11,400 –> 00:01:13,800
\nclass talking about Peters
\nconfession. <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:14,500 –> 00:01:17,600
\nI really enjoyed all of his
\nclasses, but without going into <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:17,600 –> 00:01:19,900
\ntoo much detail.
\nI’ll let brother Allen continue <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:19,900 –> 00:01:22,600
\nthe intro.
\nThis is one that he and I Did <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:22,800 –> 00:01:24,000
\nwhile we were up at bible
\nschool? <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:24,600 –> 00:01:27,100
\nSo it was a really special
\nopportunity to get it straight <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:27,100 –> 00:01:29,700
\nfrom the source and he can do a
\nmuch better job introducing <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:29,700 –> 00:01:33,400
\neverything then I can and after
\nthat we’ll go right into his <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:33,400 –> 00:01:35,800
\nthird class on the confessions
\nof Peter. <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:36,600 –> 00:01:39,500
\nPeter was a man of contrast.
\nHe’s a portrait of someone who <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:39,500 –> 00:01:43,700
\nhad both highs and lows he could
\nbe impulsive turbulent and <\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:43,700 –> 00:01:45,900
\nstubborn adjusting the gospel
\nrecords. <\/p>\n

29
\n00:01:45,900 –> 00:01:48,600
\nFor example, we know that Peter
\nhad to be called three times <\/p>\n

30
\n00:01:48,600 –> 00:01:50,400
\nbefore he finally followed
\nJesus. <\/p>\n

31
\n00:01:50,900 –> 00:01:54,200
\nHe lost his faith will the water
\nnearly drowned he failed to <\/p>\n

32
\n00:01:54,200 –> 00:01:57,200
\nunderstand the significance of
\nJesus teachings on multiple <\/p>\n

33
\n00:01:57,200 –> 00:02:00,900
\noccasions, and he often tried to
\ntake matters into his own hands <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:01,000 –> 00:02:03,400
\nand enforce how he thought
\nthings should happen. <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:04,200 –> 00:02:06,600
\nHe rebuked Jesus and tried to
\nrestrain him from going to <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:06,600 –> 00:02:10,400
\nJerusalem earning the rebuke get
\nthee behind me Satan. <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:11,100 –> 00:02:12,900
\nHe resisted having his feet
\nwashed. <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:13,000 –> 00:02:15,600
\nHe dismissed Jesus warnings
\nabout the struggles. <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:15,600 –> 00:02:17,700
\nHe would face on Jesus final
\nnight. <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:18,100 –> 00:02:20,800
\nHe fell asleep in the garden
\nwhen Jesus needed him the most <\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:21,100 –> 00:02:23,700
\nhere Ashley.
\nJust out in violence during <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:23,700 –> 00:02:28,200
\nJesus arrest and he flatly
\ndenied even knowing him but <\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:28,200 –> 00:02:32,000
\nthese are contrasted with Peters
\ndevotion sincerity willingness <\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:32,000 –> 00:02:35,300
\nto act on his faith honesty and
\nbravery. <\/p>\n

45
\n00:02:35,900 –> 00:02:38,300
\nHe was the first person in the
\ngospel record to confess his <\/p>\n

46
\n00:02:38,300 –> 00:02:40,500
\nsinfulness to Jesus.
\nHe left everything. <\/p>\n

47
\n00:02:40,500 –> 00:02:44,300
\nHe had to follow him.
\nHe welcomed Jesus into his home <\/p>\n

48
\n00:02:44,300 –> 00:02:48,000
\nin every aspect of his life.
\nHe was a leader among his peers.<\/p>\n

49
\n00:02:48,400 –> 00:02:50,700
\nHe asked the questions that were
\non the minds of all the <\/p>\n

50
\n00:02:50,700 –> 00:02:53,100
\ndisciples and gave boy.
\nAs to those things the others <\/p>\n

51
\n00:02:53,100 –> 00:02:56,500
\nwere too timid to say it’s no
\naccident that in every listing <\/p>\n

52
\n00:02:56,500 –> 00:02:58,800
\nof the disciples Peter is listed
\nfirst. <\/p>\n

53
\n00:02:59,600 –> 00:03:02,600
\nPeter was remarkably close to
\nJesus and singled out on <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:02,600 –> 00:03:05,500
\nmultiple occasions.
\nSometimes along with James and <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:05,500 –> 00:03:09,700
\nJohn and sometimes by himself to
\nwitness particular Miracles or <\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:09,700 –> 00:03:14,000
\nhear specific instruction.
\nHe listened closely to the words<\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:14,000 –> 00:03:17,500
\nof Jesus and he clung to Jesus
\neven when others fell away, <\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:17,500 –> 00:03:22,400
\nespecially during that final
\nyear of Jesus ministry he Jonas <\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:22,400 –> 00:03:25,500
\nfaith when others were
\nconstrained by fear, and he <\/p>\n

60
\n00:03:25,500 –> 00:03:30,800
\napplied Jesus teachings as best
\nhe could he had an insatiable <\/p>\n

61
\n00:03:30,800 –> 00:03:34,200
\ndesire to be with his Lord that
\ncame above everything else. <\/p>\n

62
\n00:03:34,900 –> 00:03:37,300
\nJust looking at the gospels.
\nWe see that no one spoke to <\/p>\n

63
\n00:03:37,300 –> 00:03:42,000
\nJesus more than Peter and no one
\nwas spoken to by Jesus more than<\/p>\n

64
\n00:03:42,000 –> 00:03:44,800
\nby Peter likewise among the
\ndisciples. <\/p>\n

65
\n00:03:44,800 –> 00:03:48,400
\nThere was no one rebuked more by
\nJesus than Peter yet. <\/p>\n

66
\n00:03:48,400 –> 00:03:51,100
\nNo one was praised by Jesus like
\nPeter. <\/p>\n

67
\n00:03:52,100 –> 00:03:55,500
\nNo one walked on water like
\nPeter hit No.1 sunk into the sea<\/p>\n

68
\n00:03:55,500 –> 00:03:58,500
\nlike Peter either.
\nNo one had to be called as many <\/p>\n

69
\n00:03:58,500 –> 00:04:02,200
\ntimes as Peter did before he
\nresponded and yet no one <\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:02,200 –> 00:04:06,500
\ndeclared their own going
\ndevotion like Peter did no one <\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:06,500 –> 00:04:08,600
\nacted on their faith like Peter
\nyet. <\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:08,600 –> 00:04:11,700
\nNo one denied their lord like
\nPeter did either and these <\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:11,700 –> 00:04:14,800
\ncontrasts are not presented to
\nus by accident. <\/p>\n

74
\n00:04:14,900 –> 00:04:18,700
\nPeter story is an example for us
\nall it’s a relatable one. <\/p>\n

75
\n00:04:18,700 –> 00:04:21,700
\nI’m relatable story that
\nincludes highs and lows moments.<\/p>\n

76
\n00:04:21,899 –> 00:04:26,700
\nStrength and promise followed by
\nweakness and betrayal at times. <\/p>\n

77
\n00:04:26,700 –> 00:04:30,600
\nHe was an expression of a man
\ndefined by a living hope that <\/p>\n

78
\n00:04:30,600 –> 00:04:33,400
\nanimated his whole character yet
\nat times. <\/p>\n

79
\n00:04:33,400 –> 00:04:37,100
\nHe was a shell of that van full
\nof fear and doubt. <\/p>\n

80
\n00:04:37,300 –> 00:04:40,400
\nThere’s no one else in Scripture
\npresented to us in this manner <\/p>\n

81
\n00:04:40,700 –> 00:04:43,900
\nthat gives us a unique and
\nrelatable picture of what it <\/p>\n

82
\n00:04:43,900 –> 00:04:48,000
\nmeans to follow Jesus and latch
\non to that Living Hope as one <\/p>\n

83
\n00:04:48,000 –> 00:04:52,100
\nbrother commented the wonderful
\nthing like Peters example is it <\/p>\n

84
\n00:04:52,100 –> 00:04:55,500
\nshows what a connection with the
\nLord Jesus can do for Ordinary <\/p>\n

85
\n00:04:55,500 –> 00:05:00,400
\nPeople Like Us because if Jesus
\ncould help Peter deal with his <\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:00,400 –> 00:05:05,300
\nhuman weakness, he can help us
\nto we’ll dive into our final <\/p>\n

87
\n00:05:05,300 –> 00:05:09,000
\nclass this morning looking at
\nall to of Peters confessions <\/p>\n

88
\n00:05:09,000 –> 00:05:11,700
\nbecause we’ll wrap up with the
\nconfession that he made at the <\/p>\n

89
\n00:05:12,400 –> 00:05:14,200
\nthe end of the episode of
\nwalking in the water in the <\/p>\n

90
\n00:05:14,200 –> 00:05:17,300
\ncontinue with the confession.
\nHe makes up close to us. <\/p>\n

91
\n00:05:17,300 –> 00:05:21,100
\nThat’s a real Philippi the there
\nare lots of threes and Peter. <\/p>\n

92
\n00:05:21,900 –> 00:05:24,000
\nAny of his episodes come in
\nthrees? <\/p>\n

93
\n00:05:24,000 –> 00:05:26,400
\nYes has three denials.
\nHe had three callings is also <\/p>\n

94
\n00:05:26,400 –> 00:05:29,700
\nthree confessions of Faith.
\nSo before we dive into consider <\/p>\n

95
\n00:05:29,700 –> 00:05:32,700
\nthat second and great confession
\nthat is most well-known. <\/p>\n

96
\n00:05:32,900 –> 00:05:36,500
\nWe’re going to go back and wrap
\nup the confession that we see <\/p>\n

97
\n00:05:36,700 –> 00:05:40,700
\ntoward the end of his episode of
\nwalking on the water with Christ<\/p>\n

98
\n00:05:41,700 –> 00:05:46,800
\nback in back as Jesus gets in
\nthe boat the narratives converge<\/p>\n

99
\n00:05:46,800 –> 00:05:51,300
\nagain Matthew chapter 14 verses
\nthe 32 and 33 and 34 if you just<\/p>\n

100
\n00:05:51,300 –> 00:05:54,700
\nwant to Turn there briefly.
\nWhat will consider these closing<\/p>\n

101
\n00:05:54,700 –> 00:05:57,300
\nwords and Peter’s first
\nconfession and also kind of set <\/p>\n

102
\n00:05:57,300 –> 00:05:59,700
\nthe stage for what will consider
\nin this last class. <\/p>\n

103
\n00:06:01,000 –> 00:06:06,200
\nIt’s recorded in Matthew Mark
\nand John Jesus steps back and <\/p>\n

104
\n00:06:06,200 –> 00:06:10,900
\nthe wind and the waves stopped
\nand the disciples wonder what <\/p>\n

105
\n00:06:10,900 –> 00:06:16,200
\nmanner of man is this but this
\ntime Matthew or when does it <\/p>\n

106
\n00:06:16,200 –> 00:06:18,600
\nhappen previously back in
\nMatthew chapter 8 verse 27 their<\/p>\n

107
\n00:06:18,600 –> 00:06:20,900
\nfirst storm of the see the
\ndisciples wondered what manner <\/p>\n

108
\n00:06:20,900 –> 00:06:23,700
\nof man is this?
\nBut this time Matthew records <\/p>\n

109
\n00:06:23,700 –> 00:06:25,700
\nthat their reaction is
\ndifferent. <\/p>\n

110
\n00:06:25,700 –> 00:06:29,300
\nThere’s growth from the first
\nstorm to the second storm. <\/p>\n

111
\n00:06:29,400 –> 00:06:32,000
\nWhereas previously they weren’t
\ntotally sure what was happening <\/p>\n

112
\n00:06:32,600 –> 00:06:38,900
\nnow, they see Jesus as as as the
\nSon of God prior to this point <\/p>\n

113
\n00:06:38,900 –> 00:06:42,600
\nthere had only been one
\nconfession of Faith previously <\/p>\n

114
\n00:06:42,600 –> 00:06:47,000
\nthat had been by a Madman here
\nthe disciples confess that Jesus<\/p>\n

115
\n00:06:47,000 –> 00:06:50,200
\nwas the son of God we can see a
\ngrowth in the understanding of <\/p>\n

116
\n00:06:50,200 –> 00:06:53,500
\nthe disciples which will
\nDominate in the confession we <\/p>\n

117
\n00:06:53,500 –> 00:06:57,400
\nwill see in this class over in
\nat Matthew chapter 16 verse 16, <\/p>\n

118
\n00:06:57,900 –> 00:07:01,400
\nhowever, despite their growth in
\ntheir understanding of Jesus the<\/p>\n

119
\n00:07:01,400 –> 00:07:06,600
\ndisciples stole had a ways to go
\nJohn over in six verse 21 notes <\/p>\n

120
\n00:07:06,600 –> 00:07:09,800
\nthat they were only then who
\nElling to receive Jesus into the<\/p>\n

121
\n00:07:09,800 –> 00:07:11,800
\nboat.
\nThere’s an implication they may <\/p>\n

122
\n00:07:11,800 –> 00:07:14,300
\nnot have been as willing
\npreviously when they were still <\/p>\n

123
\n00:07:14,300 –> 00:07:19,300
\ngripped by fear in Mark chapter
\n6 verse 51 through 52. <\/p>\n

124
\n00:07:19,700 –> 00:07:23,400
\nWe’re told that the wonderment
\nof The disciples was also out of<\/p>\n

125
\n00:07:23,408 –> 00:07:26,800
\nthe hardness of heart at not
\nunderstanding the meaning of the<\/p>\n

126
\n00:07:26,800 –> 00:07:28,800
\nMiracles of the Loaves and
\nFishes. <\/p>\n

127
\n00:07:29,100 –> 00:07:32,300
\nThey had not fully grasp that
\nJesus was indeed that Prophet <\/p>\n

128
\n00:07:32,300 –> 00:07:36,300
\nlike Moses at the Manna From.
\nHeaven would be the suffering <\/p>\n

129
\n00:07:36,300 –> 00:07:42,400
\nservant who must take the cross
\nbefore the crown as we leave <\/p>\n

130
\n00:07:42,400 –> 00:07:44,800
\nthis episode of Peter walking on
\nthe water. <\/p>\n

131
\n00:07:44,800 –> 00:07:48,600
\nWe also leave another sort of
\nperil Parable we can look at <\/p>\n

132
\n00:07:48,608 –> 00:07:53,300
\nthis whole episode and see it as
\na parable of the Of a life in <\/p>\n

133
\n00:07:53,300 –> 00:07:57,700
\nChrist from Jesus being
\nseparated from his disciples <\/p>\n

134
\n00:07:57,700 –> 00:08:01,600
\nthrough water is almost a type
\nof baptism going down through <\/p>\n

135
\n00:08:01,600 –> 00:08:05,600
\nthe water night falls and Jesus
\nascended to the mountain similar<\/p>\n

136
\n00:08:05,600 –> 00:08:09,400
\nto how Jesus is now in heaven
\nand we are in the Gentile night.<\/p>\n

137
\n00:08:09,900 –> 00:08:13,500
\nThe disciples went in a boat
\nheaded to that city of comfort <\/p>\n

138
\n00:08:13,500 –> 00:08:17,300
\nChrist’s own City almost as the
\necclesial Community making their<\/p>\n

139
\n00:08:17,300 –> 00:08:21,100
\nway to the kingdom the disciples
\non the sea of Nations being <\/p>\n

140
\n00:08:21,100 –> 00:08:24,900
\ntossed in caught in the storm
\nlike the Ecclesia in Conflict as<\/p>\n

141
\n00:08:24,900 –> 00:08:27,200
\na new day approaches.
\nJesus comes in the water a <\/p>\n

142
\n00:08:27,200 –> 00:08:32,400
\nforeshadow of Jesus return Peter
\nwalking to Jesus as Jesus <\/p>\n

143
\n00:08:32,400 –> 00:08:36,700
\ngathers the Saints to him in the
\nlast day Jesus saving Peter then<\/p>\n

144
\n00:08:36,700 –> 00:08:39,299
\nrebuking him for the lack of
\nfaith is almost a type of <\/p>\n

145
\n00:08:39,299 –> 00:08:44,300
\njudgment Jesus being recognized
\nfor who he is a recognition of <\/p>\n

146
\n00:08:44,300 –> 00:08:48,400
\nJesus on his return He is
\ncalming the sea is a symbol of <\/p>\n

147
\n00:08:48,400 –> 00:08:52,400
\nsubjugation of the Nations and
\nas soon as the storm stops, The <\/p>\n

148
\n00:08:52,400 –> 00:08:55,600
\nrecord records that they arrived
\nat that city of comfort a <\/p>\n

149
\n00:08:55,600 –> 00:08:58,400
\nparallel to the entrance into
\nthe kingdom arrest for God’s <\/p>\n

150
\n00:08:58,400 –> 00:09:01,200
\npeople.
\nThey are Jesus healed the people<\/p>\n

151
\n00:09:01,500 –> 00:09:04,700
\nand the people came to him from
\nabroad an example of Nations <\/p>\n

152
\n00:09:04,700 –> 00:09:09,500
\ncoming to Jesus in the Kingdom
\nfor healing and for teaching so <\/p>\n

153
\n00:09:09,500 –> 00:09:13,300
\nthat brings us to the end of the
\naccount of Jesus or Peter <\/p>\n

154
\n00:09:13,300 –> 00:09:16,900
\nwalking on the water to Christ
\nand we saw that we have a lord <\/p>\n

155
\n00:09:16,900 –> 00:09:19,800
\nwho is above in control and
\nrevealed in the midst of the <\/p>\n

156
\n00:09:19,800 –> 00:09:21,900
\nstorm.
\nWe’re encouraged to listen to <\/p>\n

157
\n00:09:22,100 –> 00:09:26,600
\nwere Lord’s word and to come
\nwhen he calls to keep our eyes <\/p>\n

158
\n00:09:26,600 –> 00:09:30,900
\nfixed on Jesus and if we are
\nsinking cry out for help when <\/p>\n

159
\n00:09:30,900 –> 00:09:33,600
\nreflecting on this event later
\nin First Peter chapter 1 when <\/p>\n

160
\n00:09:33,600 –> 00:09:37,300
\nPeter talks about trials and
\nTemptations He reflects that <\/p>\n

161
\n00:09:37,300 –> 00:09:40,900
\nthere can be Joy found in them
\nbecause not because the trial <\/p>\n

162
\n00:09:40,900 –> 00:09:46,000
\nitself is joyous, but in the end
\nthere is unspeakable joy, and <\/p>\n

163
\n00:09:46,000 –> 00:09:48,700
\nthey felt a little bit of that
\nas they reached the other side <\/p>\n

164
\n00:09:48,700 –> 00:09:53,400
\nof the sea in that city of
\ncomfort so that Brings us now to<\/p>\n

165
\n00:09:53,400 –> 00:09:56,200
\nour next class and we’ll pick up
\nthe narrative here in John <\/p>\n

166
\n00:09:56,200 –> 00:10:01,000
\nchapter 6 verse 66 through 71.
\nSo the disciples are now on the <\/p>\n

167
\n00:10:01,000 –> 00:10:07,400
\nother Shore they’ve crossed over
\nto the Capernaum John will pick <\/p>\n

168
\n00:10:07,400 –> 00:10:10,300
\nup the narrative as Jesus meets
\nthe crowds that had traveled <\/p>\n

169
\n00:10:10,300 –> 00:10:12,000
\nthrough the night.
\nSo right as the disciples are <\/p>\n

170
\n00:10:12,000 –> 00:10:15,400
\ntaking their much longer than
\nanticipated across track across <\/p>\n

171
\n00:10:15,400 –> 00:10:17,800
\nthe Sea of Galilee.
\nAll those crowds are going the <\/p>\n

172
\n00:10:17,808 –> 00:10:20,500
\nlong way, which actually Polly
\nwould have been around the same <\/p>\n

173
\n00:10:20,500 –> 00:10:22,700
\namount of time right they decide
\nI thought they were going to <\/p>\n

174
\n00:10:22,708 –> 00:10:26,500
\nshort way about a two hour to
\nour trip around that eight miles<\/p>\n

175
\n00:10:26,500 –> 00:10:30,100
\nacross the sea the crowds pie
\nwould take about the same time <\/p>\n

176
\n00:10:30,100 –> 00:10:32,300
\nto actually walk around the
\nnorth because the storm took so <\/p>\n

177
\n00:10:32,300 –> 00:10:34,200
\nlong or delay them so much on
\nthe water. <\/p>\n

178
\n00:10:35,300 –> 00:10:37,800
\nIt’s crowds traveled to the
\nnight and they were clearly <\/p>\n

179
\n00:10:37,800 –> 00:10:39,800
\nlooking for another miracle like
\nthe feeding. <\/p>\n

180
\n00:10:39,800 –> 00:10:43,400
\nThey had the previous day.
\nJesus tells them that they he <\/p>\n

181
\n00:10:43,400 –> 00:10:47,300
\nwill feed them.
\nIt’s but it’s not with the kind <\/p>\n

182
\n00:10:47,300 –> 00:10:48,800
\nof bread.
\nThey had previously it’s with <\/p>\n

183
\n00:10:48,800 –> 00:10:52,100
\nthe Mana of his body.
\nIt’s here as we talked about in <\/p>\n

184
\n00:10:52,100 –> 00:10:55,200
\nthe last class that Jesus first
\noutlines what will happen to him<\/p>\n

185
\n00:10:55,200 –> 00:10:59,300
\none year later and from that
\npoint many stop following him. <\/p>\n

186
\n00:10:59,600 –> 00:11:03,000
\nSo we’re going to pick up in
\nverse 66 from that time many of <\/p>\n

187
\n00:11:03,000 –> 00:11:06,000
\nhis disciples went back and
\nwalked no more with him. <\/p>\n

188
\n00:11:06,300 –> 00:11:10,500
\nThen Jesus said to the twelve
\nwill you also go away Peter will<\/p>\n

189
\n00:11:10,500 –> 00:11:13,900
\nrespond to Jesus question and
\nwhen he does, so this time he <\/p>\n

190
\n00:11:13,900 –> 00:11:16,600
\ndoes for the group.
\nYou can see the growth in Peter <\/p>\n

191
\n00:11:16,600 –> 00:11:19,900
\nhere previously.
\nHe looked to follow Jesus alone.<\/p>\n

192
\n00:11:19,900 –> 00:11:22,900
\nHe said bid me.
\nCome to the water, right? <\/p>\n

193
\n00:11:22,900 –> 00:11:25,300
\nWe just saw that our last class
\nbid me come unto the water. <\/p>\n

194
\n00:11:25,300 –> 00:11:28,500
\nBut now he’s making a statement
\nthat not just he but the whole <\/p>\n

195
\n00:11:28,500 –> 00:11:34,600
\ngroup would follow look down in
\nverse 68 Simon Peter answered <\/p>\n

196
\n00:11:34,600 –> 00:11:39,700
\nhim Lord to whom shall we go
\nthou Hast the words of eternal <\/p>\n

197
\n00:11:39,708 –> 00:11:42,700
\nlife again?
\nWe see Peters emphasis on the <\/p>\n

198
\n00:11:42,700 –> 00:11:47,200
\nword of the Lord and we see that
\nhe’s changed his pronouns Peter <\/p>\n

199
\n00:11:47,200 –> 00:11:50,000
\nis now thinking more of
\nfollowing Jesus as a collective <\/p>\n

200
\n00:11:50,000 –> 00:11:53,400
\nas a body as a group.
\nNot an Individual thing the <\/p>\n

201
\n00:11:53,400 –> 00:11:56,600
\nbitter irony is after Peter
\nmakes the statement. <\/p>\n

202
\n00:11:56,600 –> 00:12:00,800
\nJesus will lose the fact that
\none in that group of we Judas <\/p>\n

203
\n00:12:00,800 –> 00:12:04,100
\nwould betray him.
\nWhat a contrast in perspective <\/p>\n

204
\n00:12:04,400 –> 00:12:08,800
\nwhile the people saw bread Peter
\nsought after Jesus’s words of <\/p>\n

205
\n00:12:08,800 –> 00:12:11,800
\neternal life while the
\nPeopleSoft for physical food to <\/p>\n

206
\n00:12:11,800 –> 00:12:15,000
\nsustain their lives for today.
\nPeter was looking for that <\/p>\n

207
\n00:12:15,000 –> 00:12:18,500
\nspiritual food that would
\nsustain him for eternity. <\/p>\n

208
\n00:12:19,500 –> 00:12:23,800
\nHe said and we believe And are
\nsure that thou art the Christ <\/p>\n

209
\n00:12:23,800 –> 00:12:27,600
\nthe son of the Living God and is
\na difference in translations <\/p>\n

210
\n00:12:27,600 –> 00:12:29,400
\nhere.
\nMost translations have a <\/p>\n

211
\n00:12:29,400 –> 00:12:32,600
\ndifferent rendering than the
\nKing James for John 669. <\/p>\n

212
\n00:12:32,600 –> 00:12:36,600
\nHere’s how the ESV in the RSV
\nrender it and John 669 it says <\/p>\n

213
\n00:12:36,800 –> 00:12:39,800
\nand we believed and have come to
\nknow that you are the Holy One <\/p>\n

214
\n00:12:39,900 –> 00:12:42,600
\nOf God, right so you can see a
\nlittle difference there between <\/p>\n

215
\n00:12:42,900 –> 00:12:45,500
\ntheir art the Christ the son of
\nthe Living God and here you are <\/p>\n

216
\n00:12:45,500 –> 00:12:51,500
\nthe Holy One Of God that phrase
\nHoly One Of God is may be pulled<\/p>\n

217
\n00:12:51,500 –> 00:12:53,600
\nfrom a place.
\nThis that Peter would later <\/p>\n

218
\n00:12:53,600 –> 00:12:56,400
\nquote and his speech on the day
\nof Pentecost over in Acts <\/p>\n

219
\n00:12:56,400 –> 00:13:00,800
\nchapter 2 in a ballooning over
\nto Psalm chapter 16 and verse <\/p>\n

220
\n00:13:00,800 –> 00:13:04,200
\n10.
\nIt uses that phrase a Holy One <\/p>\n

221
\n00:13:04,400 –> 00:13:07,100
\nOf God, that would not leave my
\nsoul in Hell. <\/p>\n

222
\n00:13:07,400 –> 00:13:10,700
\nNeither wilt thou suffer thine
\nHoly One to see corruption. <\/p>\n

223
\n00:13:11,100 –> 00:13:12,600
\nCould that be what Peter’s
\nalluding to here? <\/p>\n

224
\n00:13:12,600 –> 00:13:15,800
\nThinking back to Psalm chapter
\n16 and verse 10 telling Jesus <\/p>\n

225
\n00:13:15,800 –> 00:13:19,800
\nthat he understood that they
\nunderstood that in spite of what<\/p>\n

226
\n00:13:19,800 –> 00:13:21,600
\nJesus said about being offered
\nup. <\/p>\n

227
\n00:13:22,000 –> 00:13:24,800
\nThat he understood Jesus would
\nnot see corruption since he was <\/p>\n

228
\n00:13:24,800 –> 00:13:29,200
\nthe Holy One Of God that God
\nwould preserve him or was Peter <\/p>\n

229
\n00:13:29,200 –> 00:13:33,700
\nthinking over in Psalm chapter
\n78 verse 41 where Israel would <\/p>\n

230
\n00:13:33,700 –> 00:13:40,200
\nturn were Israel turned back and
\nprovoked the Holy One of Israel.<\/p>\n

231
\n00:13:40,700 –> 00:13:43,300
\nThis would be Peters second
\nconfession of faith. <\/p>\n

232
\n00:13:43,300 –> 00:13:46,800
\nWe just saw the first one a
\nmoment before but this <\/p>\n

233
\n00:13:46,900 –> 00:13:49,000
\nconviction was about to be
\ntested. <\/p>\n

234
\n00:13:49,200 –> 00:13:52,600
\nThat’s because over the next 6
\nmonths there would be increasing<\/p>\n

235
\n00:13:52,600 –> 00:13:56,400
\nopposition to Jesus message.
\nAnd after that he would begin <\/p>\n

236
\n00:13:56,400 –> 00:13:59,200
\nhis journey South to Jerusalem
\nwhere he would suffer and die <\/p>\n

237
\n00:13:59,200 –> 00:14:04,200
\nbefore going into Glory Peter
\nbelieve this but what it lasts <\/p>\n

238
\n00:14:04,200 –> 00:14:08,200
\nover that final year.
\nWe’re now entering that final <\/p>\n

239
\n00:14:08,200 –> 00:14:13,500
\nyear of Christ’s Ministry and
\nthe next six months that we’re <\/p>\n

240
\n00:14:13,500 –> 00:14:17,300
\ngoing to cover are not recorded
\nby John. <\/p>\n

241
\n00:14:17,300 –> 00:14:20,100
\nThere’s a big jump here between
\nthe close of John chapter 6 of <\/p>\n

242
\n00:14:20,108 –> 00:14:23,900
\nthe start of John Chapter 7.
\nThis we know this because down <\/p>\n

243
\n00:14:23,900 –> 00:14:27,600
\nin John chapter 7 verse 2 John
\nmakes reference to the Feast of <\/p>\n

244
\n00:14:27,600 –> 00:14:29,400
\nTabernacles.
\nAnd the Feast of Tabernacles is <\/p>\n

245
\n00:14:29,408 –> 00:14:32,400
\nabout six months after the
\nPassover that we know is alluded<\/p>\n

246
\n00:14:32,400 –> 00:14:36,300
\nto back over in John chapter 6
\nwhen John picks up the narrative<\/p>\n

247
\n00:14:36,300 –> 00:14:41,200
\nin John chapter 7 verse 2, we’re
\nstarting to enter the last year <\/p>\n

248
\n00:14:41,600 –> 00:14:43,700
\nor the last six months of Jesus
\nministry. <\/p>\n

249
\n00:14:43,800 –> 00:14:47,100
\nAnd in that intervening time
\nthat John doesn’t give us much <\/p>\n

250
\n00:14:47,100 –> 00:14:50,200
\ndetail on will look to the other
\ngospel records. <\/p>\n

251
\n00:14:50,200 –> 00:14:55,400
\nIt’s that intervening time of
\ngrowing opposition following <\/p>\n

252
\n00:14:55,400 –> 00:14:59,300
\nthat we have Jesus journey to
\nJerusalem that final six months <\/p>\n

253
\n00:14:59,300 –> 00:15:01,800
\nof his ministry is mostly
\nrecorded than Luke and these <\/p>\n

254
\n00:15:01,800 –> 00:15:04,700
\ntravel narratives as he makes
\nhis journey down from the area <\/p>\n

255
\n00:15:04,700 –> 00:15:08,700
\nof Galilee and Capernaum down
\nsouth to Jerusalem. <\/p>\n

256
\n00:15:09,100 –> 00:15:13,100
\nSo this class is going to look
\nat a pivotal event that happened<\/p>\n

257
\n00:15:13,100 –> 00:15:16,600
\nkind of in that yellow period
\nthat period of growing <\/p>\n

258
\n00:15:16,900 –> 00:15:20,900
\nopposition between the Passover
\nin John chapter 6 verse 4 where <\/p>\n

259
\n00:15:20,900 –> 00:15:24,500
\nthe feeding of the five Happen
\nJesus and Peter walked on water <\/p>\n

260
\n00:15:24,700 –> 00:15:28,000
\nand the Feast of Tabernacles
\nover in John chapter 7 verse 2. <\/p>\n

261
\n00:15:28,300 –> 00:15:32,800
\nWhen Jesus then begins his final
\ntrip down south to Jerusalem in <\/p>\n

262
\n00:15:32,800 –> 00:15:38,100
\nbetween the four gospels.
\nThere are about 30 events that <\/p>\n

263
\n00:15:38,100 –> 00:15:41,900
\noccur in this time frame between
\nthe Passover and John beginning <\/p>\n

264
\n00:15:41,900 –> 00:15:44,200
\nJohn chapter 6 and the Feast of
\nTabernacles. <\/p>\n

265
\n00:15:44,400 –> 00:15:45,700
\nThere they are.
\nYeah. <\/p>\n

266
\n00:15:45,700 –> 00:15:48,200
\nI don’t expect you to read that
\nthought is really small, but you<\/p>\n

267
\n00:15:48,200 –> 00:15:51,600
\nalso have this in your hand out
\nover on a page. <\/p>\n

268
\n00:15:53,700 –> 00:15:55,800
\nPage 13.
\nSo this is the first six months <\/p>\n

269
\n00:15:55,800 –> 00:15:58,300
\nof the final year of Jesus’s
\nMinistry. <\/p>\n

270
\n00:16:00,200 –> 00:16:02,700
\nSo let’s walk through just to
\nset the context to the lead-up <\/p>\n

271
\n00:16:02,700 –> 00:16:04,000
\nof the text.
\nWe’re going to consider right <\/p>\n

272
\n00:16:04,000 –> 00:16:06,000
\nnow.
\nSo in our last class we covered <\/p>\n

273
\n00:16:06,000 –> 00:16:07,700
\nthe first six or seven events
\nhere. <\/p>\n

274
\n00:16:07,700 –> 00:16:13,300
\nWe looked at the feeding of the
\nfive thousand the storm at sea <\/p>\n

275
\n00:16:13,300 –> 00:16:15,900
\nwe looked at Peter walking on
\nthe water and how he arrived at <\/p>\n

276
\n00:16:15,908 –> 00:16:19,400
\nthe other side of the sea.
\nThis is going to focus on a <\/p>\n

277
\n00:16:19,400 –> 00:16:21,800
\nunique trip little bit later on
\nall the way. <\/p>\n

278
\n00:16:22,000 –> 00:16:25,300
\nAnd caesarea Philippi, but
\nbefore I get there after leaving<\/p>\n

279
\n00:16:25,300 –> 00:16:30,100
\nthe Sea of Galilee.
\nPeter Jesus spend some more time<\/p>\n

280
\n00:16:30,100 –> 00:16:34,500
\nin Capernaum the Pharisees and
\nthe scribes journeyed from <\/p>\n

281
\n00:16:34,500 –> 00:16:37,900
\nJerusalem met Jesus up in
\nCapernaum following the Passover<\/p>\n

282
\n00:16:37,900 –> 00:16:40,600
\nin fought and challenged Jesus
\non not following their <\/p>\n

283
\n00:16:40,600 –> 00:16:43,100
\nTraditions.
\nJesus reverse The Challenge on <\/p>\n

284
\n00:16:43,100 –> 00:16:45,400
\nthem and said, they were
\ntransgressing the Commandment of<\/p>\n

285
\n00:16:45,400 –> 00:16:47,900
\nGod for the sake of their
\ntradition something we’re going <\/p>\n

286
\n00:16:47,900 –> 00:16:51,200
\nto pick up tonight in this
\nevening’s lecture in the face of<\/p>\n

287
\n00:16:51,200 –> 00:16:55,100
\nsuch unbelief.
\nJesus heads up to Tire inside <\/p>\n

288
\n00:16:55,100 –> 00:16:58,200
\nand he Journeys North to a
\ngentile area the area of But not<\/p>\n

289
\n00:16:58,200 –> 00:17:03,100
\ntoday where he met faithful
\nsyrophoenician woman from there.<\/p>\n

290
\n00:17:03,100 –> 00:17:07,099
\nHe goes down to the southeast of
\nthe capitalist down to the <\/p>\n

291
\n00:17:07,099 –> 00:17:10,700
\nsoutheast of Galilee where again
\nthere was a largely Gentile <\/p>\n

292
\n00:17:10,700 –> 00:17:14,500
\npopulation here Jesus.
\nHe was a man who is both deaf <\/p>\n

293
\n00:17:14,500 –> 00:17:18,400
\nand mute and feeds another 4,000
\nby the Sea and what seems at <\/p>\n

294
\n00:17:18,400 –> 00:17:22,099
\nfirst is kind of a random series
\nof little stories piece <\/p>\n

295
\n00:17:22,099 –> 00:17:25,900
\ntogether.
\nLike why did Jesus go up to go <\/p>\n

296
\n00:17:25,900 –> 00:17:27,700
\nup to the area of Lebanon?
\nWhy did he go? <\/p>\n

297
\n00:17:27,800 –> 00:17:30,100
\nDown to the area of decapolis.
\nWhy is he making this rather <\/p>\n

298
\n00:17:30,100 –> 00:17:33,200
\nindirect Journey?
\nWell something we don’t have <\/p>\n

299
\n00:17:33,200 –> 00:17:37,700
\ntime to look into but you have
\nin your handout on page 10 might<\/p>\n

300
\n00:17:37,700 –> 00:17:41,200
\nserve as a bit of a guide what
\nmight first seem to be rather <\/p>\n

301
\n00:17:41,200 –> 00:17:44,200
\nrandom record of travels is
\nquite structured. <\/p>\n

302
\n00:17:44,200 –> 00:17:46,800
\nWell, we don’t have time to dig
\ninto it now, I’d suggest that in<\/p>\n

303
\n00:17:46,800 –> 00:17:49,900
\nyour own study compared the flow
\nbetween these events from <\/p>\n

304
\n00:17:49,900 –> 00:17:53,800
\nMatthew 15 and Isaiah 29,
\nthey’ll see why Jesus Takes a <\/p>\n

305
\n00:17:53,808 –> 00:17:56,600
\ntrip North to go meet the
\nsyrophoenician woman when he did<\/p>\n

306
\n00:17:56,900 –> 00:17:59,800
\nwhy he does this Pacific
\nhealings he does afterwards as <\/p>\n

307
\n00:17:59,800 –> 00:18:01,500
\nwell.
\nIt was a fulfillment of the <\/p>\n

308
\n00:18:01,500 –> 00:18:07,000
\nsequence laid out in Isaiah
\nchapter 29 now down to Matthew <\/p>\n

309
\n00:18:07,000 –> 00:18:10,100
\nchapter 16, he goes over to
\nmagdala. <\/p>\n

310
\n00:18:10,100 –> 00:18:12,400
\nIt’s a port city.
\nIt’s where mag Mary Magdalene <\/p>\n

311
\n00:18:12,400 –> 00:18:14,200
\nwas from right see the
\nconnection between the name <\/p>\n

312
\n00:18:14,200 –> 00:18:17,600
\nmagdala and Magdalene.
\nIt’s where the salt from the <\/p>\n

313
\n00:18:17,600 –> 00:18:20,400
\nDead Sea would be brought up.
\nSo the fisherman on the Sea of <\/p>\n

314
\n00:18:20,400 –> 00:18:22,900
\nGalilee could bring their fish
\nin and have them salted before <\/p>\n

315
\n00:18:22,900 –> 00:18:26,000
\nbeing shipped out to various
\nplaces in the Empire here in <\/p>\n

316
\n00:18:26,000 –> 00:18:27,700
\nJesus returned to the house of
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n

317
\n00:18:27,800 –> 00:18:31,400
\nAfter visiting those two Gentile
\nareas where he promised none, <\/p>\n

318
\n00:18:31,400 –> 00:18:34,000
\nbut the sign of the prophet
\nJonah to the Pharisees and <\/p>\n

319
\n00:18:34,000 –> 00:18:37,700
\nSadducees seeking a sign and
\nalmost immediately after he <\/p>\n

320
\n00:18:37,700 –> 00:18:40,100
\ncrossed the Sea of Galilee.
\nHe crossed it again going back <\/p>\n

321
\n00:18:40,100 –> 00:18:44,800
\nthe way he came warning his
\ndisciples of the teachings of <\/p>\n

322
\n00:18:44,800 –> 00:18:48,700
\nthe Pharisees then after healing
\na blind men and the area of <\/p>\n

323
\n00:18:48,700 –> 00:18:51,500
\nbethsaida.
\nHe starts North and that’s where<\/p>\n

324
\n00:18:51,500 –> 00:18:54,900
\nwe’ll pick up the account again,
\nplease turn with me over to <\/p>\n

325
\n00:18:54,900 –> 00:19:00,900
\nMatthew chapter 16.
\nWe’ll look at verse 13 those <\/p>\n

326
\n00:19:00,900 –> 00:19:03,000
\nevents.
\nWe just looked at spoke spread <\/p>\n

327
\n00:19:03,000 –> 00:19:05,900
\nover about six months bring us
\nto a unique moment in the <\/p>\n

328
\n00:19:05,900 –> 00:19:12,000
\nministry of Our Lord over the
\nover the following week after <\/p>\n

329
\n00:19:12,000 –> 00:19:15,000
\nthis Jesus heads North again.
\nBut this time he’s not heading <\/p>\n

330
\n00:19:15,000 –> 00:19:17,000
\nnorth to meet a syrophoenician
\nwoman. <\/p>\n

331
\n00:19:17,000 –> 00:19:20,100
\nHe’s not going to meet a group
\nof Gentiles here. <\/p>\n

332
\n00:19:20,100 –> 00:19:23,600
\nHe’s bringing just his disciples
\nwith him and the record seems it<\/p>\n

333
\n00:19:23,600 –> 00:19:25,700
\nwas only his disciples.
\nHe talked to while he’s making <\/p>\n

334
\n00:19:25,700 –> 00:19:27,300
\nthis trip up to caesarea,
\nPhilippi. <\/p>\n

335
\n00:19:27,800 –> 00:19:31,900
\nHe was focusing on strengthening
\nhis disciples before that trip <\/p>\n

336
\n00:19:31,900 –> 00:19:35,100
\nthose travel narratives down to
\nJerusalem those final six months<\/p>\n

337
\n00:19:35,100 –> 00:19:38,400
\nof his life leading up to that
\nfinal week and his crucifixion. <\/p>\n

338
\n00:19:38,400 –> 00:19:41,800
\nWe read over in Matthew chapter
\n16 verse 13 that he’s headed to <\/p>\n

339
\n00:19:41,800 –> 00:19:44,500
\ncaesarea Philippi.
\nThis was in the far Northern <\/p>\n

340
\n00:19:44,500 –> 00:19:47,500
\nreaches of Israel.
\nIt was famously where the <\/p>\n

341
\n00:19:47,500 –> 00:19:52,500
\nheadwaters of the River Jordan
\nbegan and they would flow about <\/p>\n

342
\n00:19:52,500 –> 00:19:55,200
\n25 miles down from caesarea
\nPhilippi at the base of Mount <\/p>\n

343
\n00:19:55,200 –> 00:19:57,700
\nHermon down to the Sea of
\nGalilee and then further down. <\/p>\n

344
\n00:19:57,800 –> 00:20:01,400
\nTo the Dead Sea just north of
\ncaesarea. <\/p>\n

345
\n00:20:01,400 –> 00:20:05,700
\nPhilippi is at Mount Hermon.
\nIt would be incredible <\/p>\n

346
\n00:20:05,700 –> 00:20:09,300
\nprominence most prominent
\nmountain in the area some 2,800 <\/p>\n

347
\n00:20:09,300 –> 00:20:12,100
\nmeters for those of you who are
\nfamiliar with Mount Baldy behind<\/p>\n

348
\n00:20:12,100 –> 00:20:13,500
\nLa kind of the same amount of
\nproblem. <\/p>\n

349
\n00:20:13,500 –> 00:20:14,800
\nAnd it’s like you’re standing
\ndown there. <\/p>\n

350
\n00:20:14,800 –> 00:20:16,200
\nThat’s the mountain that stands
\nout. <\/p>\n

351
\n00:20:16,200 –> 00:20:20,200
\nI’ll beautiful and snow capped
\noff there in the distance today.<\/p>\n

352
\n00:20:20,200 –> 00:20:23,000
\nIt’s the Golan Heights.
\nIt’s a strategic area that is <\/p>\n

353
\n00:20:23,000 –> 00:20:26,600
\nmuch disputed a strategic
\nlocation because of that sheer <\/p>\n

354
\n00:20:26,800 –> 00:20:29,600
\nelevation.
\nIt’s the chief of all mountains <\/p>\n

355
\n00:20:29,600 –> 00:20:33,900
\nin the area and with it snow
\nmelting down every seat Every <\/p>\n

356
\n00:20:33,900 –> 00:20:37,400
\nSpring it would feed the streams
\nthat would flow down to Galilee <\/p>\n

357
\n00:20:37,600 –> 00:20:40,000
\nand down through the Jordan
\ncaesarea. <\/p>\n

358
\n00:20:40,000 –> 00:20:43,000
\nPhilippi is at the base of that
\nmountain and it was right next <\/p>\n

359
\n00:20:43,000 –> 00:20:46,300
\nto this massive wall of rock.
\nThat was someone to 200 feet <\/p>\n

360
\n00:20:46,300 –> 00:20:51,000
\nhigh and about 500 feet wide and
\nthose Springs would come out of <\/p>\n

361
\n00:20:51,000 –> 00:20:53,500
\nthis this face this face of
\nrock. <\/p>\n

362
\n00:20:53,500 –> 00:20:56,500
\nThat’s where the streams the
\nSprings of the Jordan flowed <\/p>\n

363
\n00:20:56,500 –> 00:21:00,700
\nfrom and Of the large spring and
\nthe caves that the water had <\/p>\n

364
\n00:21:00,700 –> 00:21:03,100
\nformed over the years caesarea
\nPhilippi. <\/p>\n

365
\n00:21:03,100 –> 00:21:06,200
\nI became a center for religious
\nnature worship. <\/p>\n

366
\n00:21:06,200 –> 00:21:09,100
\nIt’s a beautiful area.
\nNow that I’ve been I have photos<\/p>\n

367
\n00:21:09,300 –> 00:21:12,600
\nis a beautiful area described
\nfor us where you can see these <\/p>\n

368
\n00:21:12,600 –> 00:21:16,100
\nWaters flowing out of this rock
\nand during the New Testament <\/p>\n

369
\n00:21:16,100 –> 00:21:19,800
\nperiod it was a center for Pagan
\nworship specifically for the <\/p>\n

370
\n00:21:19,800 –> 00:21:22,500
\nGreek god pan.
\nAnd if you want to follow along <\/p>\n

371
\n00:21:22,500 –> 00:21:28,200
\nin your handout, you can see
\nsome of those over on page 11 If<\/p>\n

372
\n00:21:28,200 –> 00:21:32,500
\nyou visit the site today, you
\nwill see the ruins of many Greek<\/p>\n

373
\n00:21:32,500 –> 00:21:37,200
\ntemples the temples the Greek
\nand Roman temples were built <\/p>\n

374
\n00:21:37,200 –> 00:21:40,400
\naround the caves and Grottoes
\nthat naturally kind of formed in<\/p>\n

375
\n00:21:40,400 –> 00:21:44,100
\nthe cliff base and others were
\ncarved out and this is where the<\/p>\n

376
\n00:21:44,100 –> 00:21:48,200
\nGreek and Roman god pant or the
\nGreek god pan would have been <\/p>\n

377
\n00:21:48,200 –> 00:21:50,400
\nworshipped.
\nAnd in fact the original name <\/p>\n

378
\n00:21:50,400 –> 00:21:52,600
\nfor that City’s history of
\nPhilip II before it was renamed <\/p>\n

379
\n00:21:52,600 –> 00:21:57,300
\nby Philip and after himself and
\nCaesar was peleus named after <\/p>\n

380
\n00:21:57,300 –> 00:21:59,900
\nthe god.
\nPan, it was a center of pan <\/p>\n

381
\n00:21:59,900 –> 00:22:01,500
\nworship.
\nNot only for the pagans in the <\/p>\n

382
\n00:22:01,500 –> 00:22:04,200
\narea.
\nBut of the whole Roman world. <\/p>\n

383
\n00:22:04,400 –> 00:22:07,100
\nThis was the place that you’re
\ngoing to go to if you wanted to <\/p>\n

384
\n00:22:07,100 –> 00:22:11,400
\nseek favor from the god of
\ntrickery and fear and the <\/p>\n

385
\n00:22:11,408 –> 00:22:14,800
\nlargest of these caves put it up
\nthere on the left was literally <\/p>\n

386
\n00:22:14,800 –> 00:22:16,600
\ncalled the Gates of Hell
\nsomething that will be <\/p>\n

387
\n00:22:16,600 –> 00:22:19,100
\nsignificant as we have read down
\nthrough the text. <\/p>\n

388
\n00:22:19,300 –> 00:22:21,500
\nI was used for sacrifice.
\nWhat you would do is you’d go up<\/p>\n

389
\n00:22:21,500 –> 00:22:24,900
\nto this cave and the water level
\nis presumably higher now than it<\/p>\n

390
\n00:22:24,900 –> 00:22:29,500
\nwas back in Josephus day who
\nwrites a bit about this but you <\/p>\n

391
\n00:22:29,500 –> 00:22:31,900
\nwould throw your goat sacrifice
\nin there and as it kind of <\/p>\n

392
\n00:22:32,400 –> 00:22:35,300
\nplummeted down to the abyss you
\nknew if a pan accepted your <\/p>\n

393
\n00:22:35,300 –> 00:22:37,400
\nsacrifice if the goat didn’t
\ncome floating back down the <\/p>\n

394
\n00:22:37,400 –> 00:22:40,300
\nstream, but if the go just
\ndisappears in the abyss and <\/p>\n

395
\n00:22:40,300 –> 00:22:43,800
\ndoesn’t float back down the
\nbelief was that pan had accepted<\/p>\n

396
\n00:22:43,800 –> 00:22:47,900
\nyour sacrifice and you would get
\na blessing over time. <\/p>\n

397
\n00:22:47,900 –> 00:22:51,500
\nThis area was built up and Jesus
\nday the caves were not just left<\/p>\n

398
\n00:22:51,500 –> 00:22:53,500
\nopen.
\nThey had large temples built <\/p>\n

399

\n00:23:06,600 –> 00:23:11,700
\nfor political ritual as well as

413
\n00:23:50,800 –> 00:23:54,700
\ninto what Jesus talks to his
\nfollowers about there was no <\/p>\n

\nspecifically That there’s this

\nfor where Jesus and his <\/p>\n

418
\n00:24:10,800 –> 00:24:13,500
\ndisciples were going will help
\nfill in the picture with some of<\/p>\n

419
\n00:24:13,500 –> 00:24:16,600
\nthe things that are discussed
\nJesus and his disciples had <\/p>\n

420
\n00:24:16,600 –> 00:24:20,300
\ntraveled about 25 miles north
\nfrom the Paseo De in Capernaum <\/p>\n

421
\n00:24:20,300 –> 00:24:24,500
\narea up to caesarea Philippi
\nalong the Jordan River until <\/p>\n

422
\n00:24:24,500 –> 00:24:27,500
\nthey come to this Temple
\ndedicated to Caesar Augustus. <\/p>\n

423
\n00:24:27,700 –> 00:24:31,400
\nHe’s a man that the Romans
\nregarded as a Son of God, right?<\/p>\n

424
\n00:24:31,400 –> 00:24:35,300
\nThe the Roman Caesar was seen as
\na sort of divine being and this <\/p>\n

425
\n00:24:35,300 –> 00:24:39,500
\nTemple sat alongside a massive
\nexposed Cliff face with a deep <\/p>\n

426
\n00:24:39,500 –> 00:24:43,900
\ncave known as the gates of Hades
\nor the gates of hell where pan <\/p>\n

427
\n00:24:44,100 –> 00:24:47,500
\nanother Divine believed to be a
\nDivine being another Son of God <\/p>\n

428
\n00:24:47,500 –> 00:24:50,900
\nwas worshiped and interestingly.
\nBoth of these sons of God is <\/p>\n

429
\n00:24:50,900 –> 00:24:55,200
\nCaesar and pan were dead Caesar
\nAugustus at this point was dead.<\/p>\n

430
\n00:24:55,300 –> 00:24:57,500
\nHe was a mortal who now laid in
\nhis grave. <\/p>\n

431
\n00:24:57,700 –> 00:25:01,300
\nAnother took his place on the
\nthrone in pan was no more than a<\/p>\n

432
\n00:25:01,300 –> 00:25:05,600
\nstone dead statue in this
\nsetting among men who falsely <\/p>\n

433
\n00:25:05,600 –> 00:25:10,100
\nclaimed Divine sonship and dead
\nIdols perched along side a great<\/p>\n

434
\n00:25:10,100 –> 00:25:12,400
\nrock that overshadowed the
\nmythical Gates of Hell. <\/p>\n

435
\n00:25:12,700 –> 00:25:16,900
\nJesus asked his disciple a
\nquestion and we see that <\/p>\n

436
\n00:25:16,900 –> 00:25:20,000
\nquestion over in Matthew chapter
\n16 verse 13. <\/p>\n

437
\n00:25:20,200 –> 00:25:23,100
\nThey come to this city The Rock
\nfaces in front of them and Jesus<\/p>\n

438
\n00:25:23,100 –> 00:25:26,700
\nturns and asked his disciples
\nwhom do men say that I the son <\/p>\n

439
\n00:25:26,700 –> 00:25:29,600
\nof man a.m.
\nLuke makes an emphasis that this<\/p>\n

440
\n00:25:29,600 –> 00:25:32,200
\nquestion was meant only for his
\ndisciples over another parallel <\/p>\n

441
\n00:25:32,200 –> 00:25:36,300
\nof Luke 19 Verse 18, but based
\non the disciples response. <\/p>\n

442
\n00:25:36,500 –> 00:25:39,900
\nThis was clearly a question that
\nmany people were asking at the <\/p>\n

443
\n00:25:39,900 –> 00:25:43,400
\ntime who is Jesus based on the
\nevents that we left off in John <\/p>\n

444
\n00:25:43,400 –> 00:25:44,700
\n6.
\nYou could see people leaving <\/p>\n

445
\n00:25:44,700 –> 00:25:48,100
\nasking who is this man?
\nHe isn’t who we thought we were <\/p>\n

446
\n00:25:48,400 –> 00:25:52,300
\nthe crowds at the crowds of Jews
\nat the feeding of the 5,000 at <\/p>\n

447
\n00:25:52,300 –> 00:25:54,500
\nhoped.
\nHe was going to be the one to <\/p>\n

448
\n00:25:54,500 –> 00:25:57,300
\nbring across that great and
\nterrible day of the Lord and <\/p>\n

449
\n00:25:57,300 –> 00:25:59,400
\nover.
\nThe Romans the group that <\/p>\n

450
\n00:25:59,400 –> 00:26:01,800
\nfollowed him around the Sea of
\nGalilee to the other side was <\/p>\n

451
\n00:26:01,800 –> 00:26:05,100
\ndisappointed when Jesus spoke
\nnot of restoring the kingdom to <\/p>\n

452
\n00:26:05,100 –> 00:26:08,000
\nIsrael at that moment.
\nBut of his coming sacrifice <\/p>\n

453
\n00:26:08,300 –> 00:26:11,600
\nthere was confusion around this
\nquestion was he really the <\/p>\n

454
\n00:26:11,600 –> 00:26:15,400
\nMessiah some thought he was John
\nthe Baptist back from the dead <\/p>\n

455
\n00:26:15,800 –> 00:26:20,100
\nthat he that was a Harrods gas
\nback in Matthew chapter 14 and <\/p>\n

456
\n00:26:20,100 –> 00:26:21,600
\nverse to remember that
\nconfusion. <\/p>\n

457
\n00:26:21,600 –> 00:26:25,100
\nJesus seemed to be preaching a
\nsimilar message and I spent time<\/p>\n

458
\n00:26:25,100 –> 00:26:27,500
\nin the same area that John was
\nat some thought geez. <\/p>\n

459
\n00:26:27,600 –> 00:26:31,500
\nThis was John the Baptist risen
\nagain others thought he was the <\/p>\n

460
\n00:26:31,500 –> 00:26:35,100
\nElijah of the Latter-Day perhaps
\nthey figured that since Jesus <\/p>\n

461
\n00:26:35,100 –> 00:26:38,400
\nwasn’t acting like the king that
\nthey expected since Jesus wasn’t<\/p>\n

462
\n00:26:38,400 –> 00:26:42,200
\ntaking the throne that maybe
\nJesus was supposed to be the <\/p>\n

463
\n00:26:42,200 –> 00:26:43,900
\nPrelude.
\nMaybe who’s the Elijah to <\/p>\n

464
\n00:26:43,900 –> 00:26:46,800
\nanother Messiah that was going
\nto come he did things like <\/p>\n

465
\n00:26:46,800 –> 00:26:50,100
\nElijah did he was in conflict
\nwith the rulers of his day. <\/p>\n

466
\n00:26:50,500 –> 00:26:52,900
\nHe provided food for the needy
\nElijah did that too. <\/p>\n

467
\n00:26:53,100 –> 00:26:55,500
\nHe raised the dead Elijah did
\nthat as well. <\/p>\n

468
\n00:26:55,900 –> 00:26:57,500
\nHe took an unexpected trip to
\ntyrants. <\/p>\n

469
\n00:26:57,700 –> 00:27:02,100
\nElijah also did that as well or
\nperhaps he was maybe another <\/p>\n

470
\n00:27:02,100 –> 00:27:06,900
\nProphet come back to life either
\nliterally or a continuing of <\/p>\n

471
\n00:27:06,900 –> 00:27:10,000
\ntheir other Legacy.
\nMaybe maybe Jesus was like <\/p>\n

472
\n00:27:10,000 –> 00:27:14,100
\nEzekiel Ezekiel was called the
\nson of man 89 times. <\/p>\n

473
\n00:27:14,100 –> 00:27:16,200
\nJesus referred to himself in the
\nsame way. <\/p>\n

474
\n00:27:16,700 –> 00:27:21,000
\nCould it be Jeremiah Was Jesus
\nnot also a Man of Sorrows <\/p>\n

475
\n00:27:21,100 –> 00:27:24,900
\nsimilar to the weeping prophet.
\nJesus had just made an illusion <\/p>\n

476
\n00:27:24,900 –> 00:27:29,000
\na few chapters previously.
\nAbout the sign of the prophet <\/p>\n

477
\n00:27:29,000 –> 00:27:33,100
\nJonah could Jesus be another
\nProphet like Jonah and notice <\/p>\n

478
\n00:27:33,100 –> 00:27:37,000
\nthe ambiguity implied here in
\nthe language and Matthew some <\/p>\n

479
\n00:27:37,000 –> 00:27:40,600
\nsay this others say that there’s
\nno element of certainty or firm <\/p>\n

480
\n00:27:40,600 –> 00:27:44,400
\nbelief here just general
\nfeelings among the crowd of who <\/p>\n

481
\n00:27:44,400 –> 00:27:49,200
\nthey thought Jesus was and there
\nis a lesson for us here follow <\/p>\n

482
\n00:27:49,200 –> 00:27:52,100
\nthe religious Notions of the
\ncrowd around us and your home is<\/p>\n

483
\n00:27:52,100 –> 00:27:56,700
\nalways going to be wrong the
\ndiffering confused and apathetic<\/p>\n

484
\n00:27:56,700 –> 00:27:59,000
\nviews people.
\nFor Jesus are also present <\/p>\n

485
\n00:27:59,000 –> 00:28:00,900
\ntoday.
\nThere’s a lot of confusion about<\/p>\n

486
\n00:28:00,900 –> 00:28:03,400
\nwho Jesus is today.
\nIt’s actually in fashion to be <\/p>\n

487
\n00:28:03,400 –> 00:28:08,100
\nnon-committal about religious
\nbeliefs and to not have firm <\/p>\n

488
\n00:28:08,100 –> 00:28:11,500
\nopinions about who Jesus is many
\npeople today. <\/p>\n

489
\n00:28:11,500 –> 00:28:15,100
\nSay Jesus was a good teacher
\nothers see him as a religious <\/p>\n

490
\n00:28:15,100 –> 00:28:17,800
\nprophet that should be admired
\nfor his moral compass, but <\/p>\n

491
\n00:28:17,800 –> 00:28:21,400
\nnothing more still others see me
\nas a good example of social <\/p>\n

492
\n00:28:21,400 –> 00:28:25,000
\nwork, but not someone who has
\nauthority to tell us how to live<\/p>\n

493
\n00:28:25,100 –> 00:28:29,600
\ntoday the same.
\nGuity and confusion that Jesus <\/p>\n

494
\n00:28:29,600 –> 00:28:33,600
\nconfronted two thousand years
\nago is around us now and like <\/p>\n

495
\n00:28:33,600 –> 00:28:37,300
\nPeter we have an opportunity and
\nan obligation to take a <\/p>\n

496
\n00:28:37,300 –> 00:28:41,900
\ndifferent stand taking a stand
\non who we believe Jesus is and <\/p>\n

497
\n00:28:41,900 –> 00:28:46,100
\nthat will be as radical as it
\nwas 2000 years ago today. <\/p>\n

498
\n00:28:46,900 –> 00:28:49,500
\nIt’s also worth noting that
\npeople no longer thought he was <\/p>\n

499
\n00:28:49,500 –> 00:28:52,900
\njust the Carpenter’s son either
\nbut likewise by the time we <\/p>\n

500
\n00:28:52,908 –> 00:28:55,600
\nreach this period getting onto
\nthe last six months of Jesus <\/p>\n

501
\n00:28:55,600 –> 00:28:57,500
\nMinistry.
\nThey aren’t thinking of them. <\/p>\n

502
\n00:28:57,700 –> 00:29:01,000
\nThinking of him as the prophet
\nlike unto Moses as we saw in our<\/p>\n

503
\n00:29:01,000 –> 00:29:05,100
\nlast class interestingly.
\nThe way Jesus asked this <\/p>\n

504
\n00:29:05,100 –> 00:29:07,700
\nquestion has the answer head
\nright inside of it and look at <\/p>\n

505
\n00:29:07,700 –> 00:29:11,700
\nhow we asked the question.
\nHe says whom do men say that I <\/p>\n

506
\n00:29:11,700 –> 00:29:15,300
\nthe son of man am could this be
\nan illusion back to Daniel <\/p>\n

507
\n00:29:15,300 –> 00:29:19,900
\nchapter 7 and verse 13 where we
\nsaid where we read I saw in the <\/p>\n

508
\n00:29:19,900 –> 00:29:24,000
\nnight visions and behold one
\nlike the son of man came with <\/p>\n

509
\n00:29:24,000 –> 00:29:27,500
\nthe clouds of heaven and came to
\nthe Ancient of Days and brought.<\/p>\n

510
\n00:29:27,600 –> 00:29:32,000
\nHim near before him Jesus then
\nmakes the answer quite personal.<\/p>\n

511
\n00:29:32,200 –> 00:29:35,300
\nHe looks as his disciples and
\nsays to them specifically, who <\/p>\n

512
\n00:29:35,300 –> 00:29:39,700
\ndo you say that?
\nI am having heard what Jesus <\/p>\n

513
\n00:29:39,700 –> 00:29:44,900
\nsaid Simon hearing Peter speaks
\nfirst the clear assertion <\/p>\n

514
\n00:29:45,000 –> 00:29:48,300
\nsimilar to what he did back in
\nJohn chapter 6 and verse 68 in <\/p>\n

515
\n00:29:48,300 –> 00:29:52,400
\nMark and Luke were account
\nshorter versions of what he <\/p>\n

516
\n00:29:52,400 –> 00:29:55,700
\nsaid.
\nAnd Mark, its it captures the <\/p>\n

517
\n00:29:55,700 –> 00:30:00,300
\ncore point of that confession
\nThou Art the Christ in Luke. <\/p>\n

518
\n00:30:00,300 –> 00:30:03,400
\nWe see Thou Art the Christ of
\nGod and Matthew contains his <\/p>\n

519
\n00:30:03,400 –> 00:30:06,900
\nfull statement Thou Art the
\nChrist the son of the Living <\/p>\n

520
\n00:30:06,900 –> 00:30:09,400
\nGod.
\nThis is different than the <\/p>\n

521
\n00:30:09,400 –> 00:30:11,900
\nprevious statements.
\nWe’ve seen Pierre doesn’t put in<\/p>\n

522
\n00:30:11,900 –> 00:30:14,400
\nqualifiers or disclaimers about
\nhis statements. <\/p>\n

523
\n00:30:14,400 –> 00:30:17,400
\nHe doesn’t say I think you might
\nbe or if consider that you might<\/p>\n

524
\n00:30:17,408 –> 00:30:21,200
\nbe he is absolute and his
\nlanguage he is saying that thou <\/p>\n

525
\n00:30:21,200 –> 00:30:24,900
\nart the Christ the son of the
\nLiving God God in what might <\/p>\n

526
\n00:30:24,900 –> 00:30:28,500
\nseem on the surface to be a very
\nsimple statement is actually <\/p>\n

527
\n00:30:28,700 –> 00:30:31,800
\nvery specifically chosen
\nlanguage that Harkens back to <\/p>\n

528
\n00:30:31,800 –> 00:30:35,800
\ntwo places in the Old Testament
\nthat shows how closely Peter had<\/p>\n

529
\n00:30:35,800 –> 00:30:38,400
\nbeen living up to his birth name
\nof Simon hearing. <\/p>\n

530
\n00:30:38,400 –> 00:30:41,400
\nHe had been listening to Jesus
\nand he brings some elements <\/p>\n

531
\n00:30:41,400 –> 00:30:45,300
\ntogether here the concepts of
\nChrist and Son of God are <\/p>\n

532
\n00:30:45,300 –> 00:30:48,700
\nuniquely combined in Psalm
\nchapter 2. <\/p>\n

533
\n00:30:49,300 –> 00:30:51,500
\nYou want to turn over there in
\nPsalm chapter 2 verses 2 and <\/p>\n

534
\n00:30:51,500 –> 00:30:53,400
\nverse 7 bring these elements
\ntogether. <\/p>\n

535
\n00:30:53,700 –> 00:30:58,400
\nOf the Christ and Son of God in
\nPsalm chapter 2 and verse 2. <\/p>\n

536
\n00:30:58,400 –> 00:31:02,000
\nWe read that the kings of the
\nearth set themselves and the <\/p>\n

537
\n00:31:02,000 –> 00:31:04,900
\nrulers take counsel together
\nagainst the Lord and against his<\/p>\n

538
\n00:31:04,900 –> 00:31:08,000
\nanointed his anointed the
\nMessiah or the Christ and then <\/p>\n

539
\n00:31:08,000 –> 00:31:13,000
\ndown in verse 7 of Psalm chapter
\n2 the Lord saith unto me thou <\/p>\n

540
\n00:31:13,000 –> 00:31:18,000
\nart my son the context fits
\nconsidering the conflicts Jesus <\/p>\n

541
\n00:31:18,000 –> 00:31:21,100
\njust had with the rulers of the
\nJews right before he comes up <\/p>\n

542
\n00:31:21,100 –> 00:31:24,300
\nhere to caesarea, Philippi and
\nunlike the It’s which had been <\/p>\n

543
\n00:31:24,300 –> 00:31:27,600
\ndiscouraged by Jesus rejections
\nby the leaders. <\/p>\n

544
\n00:31:27,900 –> 00:31:30,600
\nPeter saw it as another
\nconfirming sign of Jesus his <\/p>\n

545
\n00:31:30,600 –> 00:31:34,600
\nmessiahship.
\nWell, the faith of others waned <\/p>\n

546
\n00:31:34,900 –> 00:31:39,700
\nPeter the son of Jonah Jonah
\nmeans Dove and Hebrew makes <\/p>\n

547
\n00:31:39,700 –> 00:31:43,200
\nreference back to that same song
\nthat was cited by The Voice from<\/p>\n

548
\n00:31:43,200 –> 00:31:48,100
\nHeaven on the day of Jesus
\nbaptism as that Dove descended <\/p>\n

549
\n00:31:48,200 –> 00:31:51,700
\ndown upon Jesus and they heard
\nthe Declaration quoted from <\/p>\n

550
\n00:31:51,700 –> 00:31:55,300
\nPsalm 2 Thou Art my beloved.
\nSon, what a wonderful <\/p>\n

551
\n00:31:55,300 –> 00:31:59,600
\nreassurance for Jesus here the
\nson of a dove lived up to his <\/p>\n

552
\n00:31:59,600 –> 00:32:04,600
\nname Simon or hearing the Peter
\nstatement also would have been <\/p>\n

553
\n00:32:04,600 –> 00:32:07,700
\nin sharp contrast to their
\nsurroundings the message <\/p>\n

554
\n00:32:07,700 –> 00:32:09,600
\nproclaimed by the temple
\nAugustus. <\/p>\n

555
\n00:32:09,600 –> 00:32:12,700
\nUnlike Augustus Caesar who was a
\nman who declared himself to be <\/p>\n

556
\n00:32:12,700 –> 00:32:15,500
\nthe Son of God here.
\nWe have Jesus a man who God <\/p>\n

557
\n00:32:15,500 –> 00:32:18,200
\ndeclared was his son at his
\nbaptism. <\/p>\n

558
\n00:32:19,000 –> 00:32:21,200
\nBut Peter does more than just
\nreference Psalm chapter 2. <\/p>\n

559
\n00:32:21,400 –> 00:32:25,200
\nHe uses a specific title for God
\nhe As the Living God it seems <\/p>\n

560
\n00:32:25,200 –> 00:32:29,600
\nPeter picks up on Jesus
\nreference who do men say that I <\/p>\n

561
\n00:32:29,600 –> 00:32:33,700
\nthe son of man am he goes back
\nto Daniel chapter 7 13 as well <\/p>\n

562
\n00:32:34,000 –> 00:32:37,300
\nsince that is where in that
\ncontext we get the image of God <\/p>\n

563
\n00:32:37,300 –> 00:32:41,300
\nas the Living God surrounded by
\nthe living creature spoken of in<\/p>\n

564
\n00:32:41,300 –> 00:32:45,500
\nDaniel chapter 7.
\nThe physical context is again <\/p>\n

565
\n00:32:45,500 –> 00:32:47,900
\nsignificant here.
\nThey’re standing near not only a<\/p>\n

566
\n00:32:47,900 –> 00:32:51,100
\ncenter of political worship of
\nAugustus, but also a pagan <\/p>\n

567
\n00:32:51,100 –> 00:32:53,500
\nCenter of worship with a
\nlifeless Idol. <\/p>\n

568
\n00:32:53,600 –> 00:32:58,100
\nPan a god of Mischief stood in
\nstark contrast to an unseen <\/p>\n

569
\n00:32:58,200 –> 00:33:03,300
\nLiving God of righteousness
\nPeter’s statement here is also <\/p>\n

570
\n00:33:03,300 –> 00:33:08,200
\nsignificant because of when and
\nwhere he says it there had been <\/p>\n

571
\n00:33:08,200 –> 00:33:10,900
\nconfessions previously.
\nWe have found the Messiah. <\/p>\n

572
\n00:33:11,000 –> 00:33:13,600
\nThat’s what a Andrew said to
\nPeter back in John chapter 1 <\/p>\n

573
\n00:33:13,600 –> 00:33:16,700
\nverse 41.
\nWe have found him of whom Moses <\/p>\n

574
\n00:33:16,700 –> 00:33:19,700
\nin the law and the prophets did
\nwrite Jesus of Nazareth said <\/p>\n

575
\n00:33:19,700 –> 00:33:24,600
\nPhilip and Nathaniel back in
\nJohn chapter 1 Of a truth Thou <\/p>\n

576
\n00:33:24,600 –> 00:33:27,300
\nArt the Son of God said the
\ndisciples in the boat back in <\/p>\n

577
\n00:33:27,300 –> 00:33:31,300
\nMatthew chapter 14, but what
\nstands out here in this <\/p>\n

578
\n00:33:31,300 –> 00:33:37,000
\nconfession is Peter’s conviction
\non his own the confessions of <\/p>\n

579
\n00:33:37,000 –> 00:33:39,800
\nfaith is expanded.
\nHere it goes from he is the <\/p>\n

580
\n00:33:39,800 –> 00:33:42,300
\nMessiah to he’s the Messiah
\nspoken of in the law and the <\/p>\n

581
\n00:33:42,308 –> 00:33:46,700
\nprophets to he’s the son of God
\nto he we believe he’s the Christ<\/p>\n

582
\n00:33:46,700 –> 00:33:48,900
\nto he is the Christ the son of
\nthe Living God. <\/p>\n

583
\n00:33:48,900 –> 00:33:51,600
\nSo the Expressions get more
\ncomplex they get more expansive <\/p>\n

584
\n00:33:52,200 –> 00:33:55,000
\nbut the timings Also meaningful
\nas well all those earlier <\/p>\n

585
\n00:33:55,000 –> 00:33:58,000
\nconfessions of Faith happened
\neither in the days of Jesus <\/p>\n

586
\n00:33:58,000 –> 00:34:01,000
\nrising popularity or with a
\ngroup of folks that were saying <\/p>\n

587
\n00:34:01,000 –> 00:34:03,200
\nthe same thing.
\nThey were confessions of Faith <\/p>\n

588
\n00:34:03,200 –> 00:34:05,200
\nmade in the context of others
\nthat would support that <\/p>\n

589
\n00:34:05,200 –> 00:34:09,300
\nconfession of Faith Even Peters
\nearlier confession and John was <\/p>\n

590
\n00:34:09,300 –> 00:34:12,500
\nsaid in the context of the
\ndisciples expressing their hope <\/p>\n

591
\n00:34:12,500 –> 00:34:16,500
\ntogether, but on this day in
\ncaesarea, Philippi Peter stands <\/p>\n

592
\n00:34:16,500 –> 00:34:20,100
\nout alone Peter shows us that
\nFaith isn’t just about what we <\/p>\n

593
\n00:34:20,100 –> 00:34:22,500
\nsay.
\nIt’s about when and where we say<\/p>\n

594
\n00:34:22,500 –> 00:34:27,500
\nit as The people had rejected
\nJesus everyone else wasn’t <\/p>\n

595
\n00:34:27,500 –> 00:34:29,300
\nconfessing their faith of the
\nsame time. <\/p>\n

596
\n00:34:29,600 –> 00:34:33,199
\nIt’s one thing to confess faith
\nin Jesus when you’re with a <\/p>\n

597
\n00:34:33,199 –> 00:34:34,800
\ngroup.
\nIt’s another thing to do it <\/p>\n

598
\n00:34:34,800 –> 00:34:39,100
\nalone all around him were the
\nPagan reminders of Rome a <\/p>\n

599
\n00:34:39,108 –> 00:34:42,300
\nreminder of just how small the
\ncommunity of Believers really <\/p>\n

600
\n00:34:42,300 –> 00:34:47,400
\nwas and Peter still holds firm
\nan example for us to follow <\/p>\n

601
\n00:34:47,600 –> 00:34:51,400
\nbecause we live in a world that
\nthe that worships political and <\/p>\n

602
\n00:34:51,400 –> 00:34:55,000
\nsocial God’s all around.
\nAround us the things that pan <\/p>\n

603
\n00:34:55,000 –> 00:34:58,400
\nthe Greek and Roman god pan
\nstood for instant pleasure <\/p>\n

604
\n00:34:58,400 –> 00:35:00,200
\ndeceitfulness sexual
\npromiscuity. <\/p>\n

605
\n00:35:00,200 –> 00:35:04,100
\nThey are present today as much
\nas they were back in caesarea, <\/p>\n

606
\n00:35:04,100 –> 00:35:08,000
\nPhilippi the world around us
\nthrows itself into the grave and<\/p>\n

607
\n00:35:08,008 –> 00:35:10,600
\nthe pursuit of these things as
\nthe Romans would throw their <\/p>\n

608
\n00:35:10,600 –> 00:35:13,700
\ngoats and sacrifices and to the
\ngates of hell as they worshipped<\/p>\n

609
\n00:35:13,700 –> 00:35:17,800
\npan to seek their own pleasure
\nin light of all that we make a <\/p>\n

610
\n00:35:17,800 –> 00:35:22,200
\nstand to do something different
\nto say those things are dead to <\/p>\n

611
\n00:35:22,200 –> 00:35:26,000
\nus and the world Around us that
\nwe know that Jesus is the Christ<\/p>\n

612
\n00:35:26,000 –> 00:35:33,000
\nthe son of the Living God Simon
\nbar Jonah son of Adam the son of<\/p>\n

613
\n00:35:33,000 –> 00:35:36,800
\na dog, let’s consider the
\nresponse here in verse 17. <\/p>\n

614
\n00:35:38,200 –> 00:35:42,000
\nHe Jesus says blessed art thou
\nSimon bar-jonah for Flesh and <\/p>\n

615
\n00:35:42,000 –> 00:35:45,000
\nBlood hath not revealed it to
\nthee but my Father which is in <\/p>\n

616
\n00:35:45,000 –> 00:35:49,200
\nheaven, he says call him Simon
\nson of Jonah and that name use <\/p>\n

617
\n00:35:49,200 –> 00:35:52,500
\nis significant.
\nIt’s the first time Jesus <\/p>\n

618
\n00:35:52,500 –> 00:35:54,000
\nreferred.
\nTo him this way since their <\/p>\n

619
\n00:35:54,000 –> 00:35:58,200
\nfirst encounter and this time he
\nhad lived up to his given name <\/p>\n

620
\n00:35:58,200 –> 00:36:01,100
\nin a wonderful way.
\nHe had clearly been hearing <\/p>\n

621
\n00:36:01,100 –> 00:36:04,900
\nJesus father make that statement
\nupon the day of Jesus baptism as<\/p>\n

622
\n00:36:04,900 –> 00:36:09,600
\nthe dove descended upon him.
\nHe just continues down in verse <\/p>\n

623
\n00:36:09,600 –> 00:36:15,600
\n18 and I say unto thee that thou
\nart Peter and into this Upon <\/p>\n

624
\n00:36:15,600 –> 00:36:19,700
\nThis Rock will I build my church
\nand the Gates of Hell shall not <\/p>\n

625
\n00:36:19,700 –> 00:36:24,600
\nPrevail against it.
\nJesus switches the names here <\/p>\n

626
\n00:36:24,600 –> 00:36:27,400
\nagain and calls him Peter and
\nthis is the first time since <\/p>\n

627
\n00:36:27,400 –> 00:36:31,400
\nrenaming Peter Moon naming him
\nPeter two years before back in <\/p>\n

628
\n00:36:31,400 –> 00:36:35,300
\nJohn chapter 1 verse 42.
\nPeter was living up to his <\/p>\n

629
\n00:36:35,300 –> 00:36:37,400
\nnatural name.
\nHe was listening as the son of <\/p>\n

630
\n00:36:37,400 –> 00:36:40,200
\nthe dove Simon.
\nHe had heard Jesus in making <\/p>\n

631
\n00:36:40,200 –> 00:36:44,200
\nthat confession and he was
\nshowing the character that Jesus<\/p>\n

632
\n00:36:44,200 –> 00:36:47,800
\nwanted him to Aspire to you
\nrecall from our first class that<\/p>\n

633
\n00:36:47,800 –> 00:36:51,500
\nthe Greek word behind Peter is
\nPetrus a small stone that has <\/p>\n

634
\n00:36:51,500 –> 00:37:00,000
\nbeen Out of another Jesus then
\nsays Upon This Rock will I build<\/p>\n

635
\n00:37:00,000 –> 00:37:02,800
\nmy church and here he changes
\nhis language. <\/p>\n

636
\n00:37:02,800 –> 00:37:06,000
\nHe changes his terms and doesn’t
\nuse the word for a small carved <\/p>\n

637
\n00:37:06,000 –> 00:37:09,000
\nout rock carved out rock.
\nYou also have this in a page 11 <\/p>\n

638
\n00:37:09,000 –> 00:37:13,200
\nof your handout but instead uses
\nthe Greek word Petra which Vines<\/p>\n

639
\n00:37:13,200 –> 00:37:17,400
\ndescribes as a large mass of
\nrock Petra is the word used to <\/p>\n

640
\n00:37:17,400 –> 00:37:20,400
\ndescribe the large rock that the
\nwise man built his house upon <\/p>\n

641
\n00:37:20,900 –> 00:37:24,500
\nits use And to describe that
\nlarge Rock and the Wilderness <\/p>\n

642
\n00:37:24,500 –> 00:37:31,300
\nout of which water flew float
\nPaul uses that same term over in<\/p>\n

643
\n00:37:31,308 –> 00:37:34,700
\n1st Corinthians 3:11 referring
\nto for other Foundation can no <\/p>\n

644
\n00:37:34,700 –> 00:37:37,900
\nman lay than that is laid which
\nis Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n

645
\n00:37:38,300 –> 00:37:41,100
\nThe word Petra is used by Peter
\nhimself over in his epistle and <\/p>\n

646
\n00:37:41,100 –> 00:37:44,300
\nFirst Peter chapter 2 verse 8,
\nhe notes that Jesus was a rock <\/p>\n

647
\n00:37:44,300 –> 00:37:48,500
\nof offense, but he had become
\nthe head of the corner the <\/p>\n

648
\n00:37:48,500 –> 00:37:51,200
\nfoundation upon which the
\nEcclesia is built. <\/p>\n

649
\n00:37:53,100 –> 00:37:57,100
\nIs this the confession that
\nPeter made in his confession <\/p>\n

650
\n00:37:58,700 –> 00:38:01,600
\nPeter showed himself to be a
\nsmaller rock that was being <\/p>\n

651
\n00:38:01,600 –> 00:38:05,000
\naligned with that Chief
\nCornerstone and Jesus was not <\/p>\n

652
\n00:38:05,000 –> 00:38:08,500
\nappointing Peter as a rock
\nFoundation, but noting that his <\/p>\n

653
\n00:38:08,500 –> 00:38:12,500
\nstrength as a small rock only
\ncame for when he recognized that<\/p>\n

654
\n00:38:12,500 –> 00:38:15,600
\nhe was connected carved out of
\nthat larger rock that <\/p>\n

655
\n00:38:15,600 –> 00:38:18,600
\nCornerstone that foundation
\nstone of Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n

656
\n00:38:19,100 –> 00:38:20,600
\nIt was a lesson.
\nHe never forgot. <\/p>\n

657
\n00:38:20,800 –> 00:38:24,700
\nHe spoke of Before the Sanhedrin
\nand X4 in three times. <\/p>\n

658
\n00:38:24,700 –> 00:38:28,300
\nHe alludes to it in his epistle
\nin the Old Testament. <\/p>\n

659
\n00:38:28,800 –> 00:38:33,700
\nThe rock is often or stone is
\noften a simple of God. <\/p>\n

660
\n00:38:33,800 –> 00:38:35,600
\nSo it makes sense that by
\nextension. <\/p>\n

661
\n00:38:35,600 –> 00:38:39,000
\nThe Son of God here would also
\nbe a rock an example of God <\/p>\n

662
\n00:38:39,000 –> 00:38:41,400
\nmanifestation.
\nAnd before we move on to <\/p>\n

663
\n00:38:41,400 –> 00:38:44,700
\nconsider the rest of this
\nconfession consider the possible<\/p>\n

664
\n00:38:44,700 –> 00:38:47,500
\nParable presented by the
\nphysical setting again from <\/p>\n

665
\n00:38:47,500 –> 00:38:49,800
\nwhere the statement was made
\nbefore them. <\/p>\n

666
\n00:38:49,800 –> 00:38:52,200
\nThere would have been this
\nmassive Cliff a A hundred to two<\/p>\n

667
\n00:38:52,200 –> 00:38:56,200
\nhundred feet high a sheer rock
\nface and that Gentile area of <\/p>\n

668
\n00:38:56,200 –> 00:38:59,800
\ncaesarea Philippi.
\nThis is the first time Jesus <\/p>\n

669
\n00:38:59,800 –> 00:39:03,700
\nuses the term Ecclesia in the
\ngospels and wouldn’t it be true <\/p>\n

670
\n00:39:03,700 –> 00:39:07,900
\nthat spiritual Israel would
\narise from Gentile rocks brought<\/p>\n

671
\n00:39:07,900 –> 00:39:10,900
\ntogether to make a holy Temple
\naligned with that Chief <\/p>\n

672
\n00:39:10,900 –> 00:39:15,700
\nCornerstone Christ.
\nThe next phrase that Jesus uses <\/p>\n

673
\n00:39:15,700 –> 00:39:18,600
\nis also pulling on the physical
\nlocation. <\/p>\n

674
\n00:39:18,600 –> 00:39:22,000
\nJesus speaks of the Gates of
\nHell or Hades. not making a <\/p>\n

675
\n00:39:22,008 –> 00:39:25,900
\nreference to gehenna the trash
\ndumped out in Jerusalem, but <\/p>\n

676
\n00:39:25,900 –> 00:39:29,900
\ninstead borrowing a were for the
\nGreek underworld ahead of them <\/p>\n

677
\n00:39:29,900 –> 00:39:33,400
\nwas a cave that was literally
\ncalled the gates of Hades where <\/p>\n

678
\n00:39:33,400 –> 00:39:38,100
\nsacrifices to pan would be cast
\nin and though the Ecclesia would<\/p>\n

679
\n00:39:38,100 –> 00:39:42,000
\nbe built out of a would be built
\non a house of Obi belt be a <\/p>\n

680
\n00:39:42,008 –> 00:39:45,300
\nhouse built out of Gentile
\nStones the paganism that <\/p>\n

681
\n00:39:45,300 –> 00:39:49,800
\ndominated The Cliff face ahead
\nof them would certainly <\/p>\n

682
\n00:39:49,900 –> 00:39:54,600
\nchallenge it but but it would be
\na struggle in a bitter irony <\/p>\n

683
\n00:39:55,500 –> 00:40:02,100
\nthat large so paganism would be
\none of these bit largest <\/p>\n

684
\n00:40:02,100 –> 00:40:05,600
\nchallenges to the early church
\nand an ironic twist that Greek <\/p>\n

685
\n00:40:05,600 –> 00:40:09,800
\ngod pan Which Jesus is a so
\nclearly rejecting would later be<\/p>\n

686
\n00:40:09,800 –> 00:40:12,900
\nadopted by the church in the 5th
\nCentury has kind of the spitting<\/p>\n

687
\n00:40:12,900 –> 00:40:15,300
\nimage of their concept of the
\nsupernatural devil. <\/p>\n

688
\n00:40:15,600 –> 00:40:18,900
\nA paganism was going to
\nintroduce all sorts of ideas <\/p>\n

689
\n00:40:18,900 –> 00:40:21,900
\ninto the Christian church that
\nwere found nowhere in Sure, the <\/p>\n

690
\n00:40:21,900 –> 00:40:25,400
\nidea of dualism in the immortal
\nSoul laying the foundation for <\/p>\n

691
\n00:40:25,400 –> 00:40:28,200
\nthe belief in the Trinity
\nintroducing the belief into <\/p>\n

692
\n00:40:28,200 –> 00:40:32,300
\nheaven going Hellfire and demons
\npaganism would certainly rise <\/p>\n

693
\n00:40:32,300 –> 00:40:34,900
\nand bring up challenges against
\nthe Ecclesia. <\/p>\n

694
\n00:40:35,300 –> 00:40:40,100
\nBut as Jesus said it would not
\novercome it and location aside, <\/p>\n

695
\n00:40:40,200 –> 00:40:43,200
\neven if the location isn’t as
\nsignificant as I’m making it <\/p>\n

696
\n00:40:43,200 –> 00:40:47,200
\nhere that connotation to the
\ngates of hell is still <\/p>\n

697
\n00:40:47,200 –> 00:40:51,100
\nsignificant the connotation of
\nthe gates of hell is death. <\/p>\n

698
\n00:40:51,500 –> 00:40:55,000
\nThe gates of the Grave is a
\nphrase used over in Isaiah <\/p>\n

699
\n00:40:55,000 –> 00:40:58,600
\nchapter 38 to describes death as
\nthe cessation of all activity <\/p>\n

700
\n00:40:59,100 –> 00:41:02,600
\ndeath is called the enemy over
\nin First Corinthians 15 and is <\/p>\n

701
\n00:41:02,600 –> 00:41:06,100
\npart of the promise in part of
\nthe promises to Abraham was to <\/p>\n

702
\n00:41:06,100 –> 00:41:09,200
\npossess the gates of the enemy
\nof death is the enemy part of <\/p>\n

703
\n00:41:09,200 –> 00:41:13,100
\nthe promises is to overcome that
\nin Revelation when Jesus speaks <\/p>\n

704
\n00:41:13,100 –> 00:41:16,500
\nabout his resurrection.
\nHe says he has the keys of hell <\/p>\n

705
\n00:41:16,500 –> 00:41:21,700
\nand of death having overcome it
\nthis certainly fits into the as <\/p>\n

706
\n00:41:21,700 –> 00:41:25,400
\nwell the Ecclesia would not be
\novercome by death because of the<\/p>\n

707
\n00:41:25,400 –> 00:41:30,500
\nsacrifice of Jesus Christ, which
\nhe talks about next Jesus then <\/p>\n

708
\n00:41:30,500 –> 00:41:33,400
\nmakes his final statement to
\nPeter and I will give unto thee <\/p>\n

709
\n00:41:33,400 –> 00:41:36,400
\nthe Keys of the Kingdom of
\nHeaven and whatsoever Thou shalt<\/p>\n

710
\n00:41:36,400 –> 00:41:39,800
\nbind on Earth shall be bound in
\nheaven and whatsoever Thou shalt<\/p>\n

711
\n00:41:39,800 –> 00:41:42,800
\nloose on Earth shall be loosed
\nin heaven a more literal <\/p>\n

712
\n00:41:42,800 –> 00:41:45,700
\ntranslation makes a little bit
\neasier to understand a holmen’s <\/p>\n

713
\n00:41:45,700 –> 00:41:48,800
\ntranslation says I will give you
\nthe keys of the kingdom of <\/p>\n

714
\n00:41:48,800 –> 00:41:52,400
\nheaven and whatever you bind on
\nearth is Is already Bound in <\/p>\n

715
\n00:41:52,400 –> 00:41:55,500
\nheaven and whatever you loose on
\nEarth is already loosed in <\/p>\n

716
\n00:41:55,500 –> 00:41:56,800
\nheaven.
\nIt’s not that heaven would <\/p>\n

717
\n00:41:56,800 –> 00:42:00,100
\nfollow Peters decisions.
\nBut rather after making such a <\/p>\n

718
\n00:42:00,100 –> 00:42:03,900
\nconfession of Faith Peter would
\nsurely act in a way that was in <\/p>\n

719
\n00:42:03,900 –> 00:42:07,700
\naccordance with heavens.
\nWill the ironic thing here is <\/p>\n

720
\n00:42:07,700 –> 00:42:11,100
\nthe first thing Peter does after
\nthis how the first thing he <\/p>\n

721
\n00:42:11,100 –> 00:42:14,200
\ntries to bind after the
\nstatement is Jesus from going <\/p>\n

722
\n00:42:14,200 –> 00:42:17,300
\nsouth to Jerusalem.
\nCertainly not the will of heaven<\/p>\n

723
\n00:42:18,600 –> 00:42:21,400
\nand Brethren have pointed out.
\nThere are a number ways number. <\/p>\n

724
\n00:42:21,500 –> 00:42:24,700
\nWays in which Peter did have
\nsome keys he unlocked the <\/p>\n

725
\n00:42:24,708 –> 00:42:27,800
\nmessage of the Kingdom to the
\nJews in Acts chapter 2 and when <\/p>\n

726
\n00:42:27,800 –> 00:42:32,700
\nhe preach to the Gentiles in
\nActs chapter, 15, unlike the <\/p>\n

727
\n00:42:32,700 –> 00:42:35,800
\nscribes and the lawyers which
\nJesus said took away the keys of<\/p>\n

728
\n00:42:35,800 –> 00:42:39,700
\nknowledge Peter helped people
\nunlock the gospel and understand<\/p>\n

729
\n00:42:39,700 –> 00:42:43,400
\nit.
\nWe also do see Peter in the New <\/p>\n

730
\n00:42:43,400 –> 00:42:46,200
\nTestament binding and loosing in
\na sense. <\/p>\n

731
\n00:42:46,200 –> 00:42:49,100
\nWe see this in Acts chapter 5 in
\nActs chapter 8 was Simon the <\/p>\n

732
\n00:42:49,100 –> 00:42:51,000
\nSorcerer And ananias and
\nSapphira. <\/p>\n

733
\n00:42:51,800 –> 00:42:56,100
\nBut this was by no means limited
\nto Peter as Jesus makes the same<\/p>\n

734
\n00:42:56,100 –> 00:42:59,200
\nstatement to all the disciples
\nover in Matthew chapter 18 verse<\/p>\n

735
\n00:42:59,200 –> 00:43:01,300
\n18.
\nPeter later himself makes the <\/p>\n

736
\n00:43:01,300 –> 00:43:05,000
\nwhole point that the whole
\nEcclesia is made up of a holy <\/p>\n

737
\n00:43:05,000 –> 00:43:09,200
\npriesthood over in First Peter
\nchapter 2 verse 5 and Peter was <\/p>\n

738
\n00:43:09,200 –> 00:43:11,700
\ncertainly thinking back to this
\nexperience as he penned that <\/p>\n

739
\n00:43:11,700 –> 00:43:15,800
\nepistle later on over enough
\nFirst Peter chapter 1. <\/p>\n

740
\n00:43:16,700 –> 00:43:19,200
\nSorry First Peter chapter 2
\nverses four through nine. <\/p>\n

741
\n00:43:19,200 –> 00:43:21,200
\nYou can see the imagery and all
\nthe language. <\/p>\n

742
\n00:43:21,500 –> 00:43:25,000
\nOut of this trip up to caesarea
\nPhilippi coming out just reading<\/p>\n

743
\n00:43:25,000 –> 00:43:29,600
\nthese few verses as you come to
\nhim a living Stone rejected by <\/p>\n

744
\n00:43:29,600 –> 00:43:32,400
\nmen but in the sight of God
\nChosen and precious you <\/p>\n

745
\n00:43:32,400 –> 00:43:35,800
\nyourselves like living stones
\nare being built up as a <\/p>\n

746
\n00:43:35,800 –> 00:43:39,800
\nspiritual house to be a holy
\npriesthood to offer spiritual <\/p>\n

747
\n00:43:39,800 –> 00:43:43,200
\nsacrifices acceptable to God
\nthrough Jesus Christ for it <\/p>\n

748
\n00:43:43,200 –> 00:43:47,200
\nstands in scripture behold.
\nI am laying in Zion a stone a <\/p>\n

749
\n00:43:47,200 –> 00:43:51,600
\nCornerstone Chosen and precious
\nand whoever believes in in him <\/p>\n

750
\n00:43:51,600 –> 00:43:54,800
\nwill not be put to shame.
\nSo the honour is for you to <\/p>\n

751
\n00:43:54,800 –> 00:43:58,100
\nbelieve but for those who do not
\nbelieve the stone that the <\/p>\n

752
\n00:43:58,100 –> 00:44:02,100
\nbuilders rejected has become the
\nCornerstone a stone of stumbling<\/p>\n

753
\n00:44:02,100 –> 00:44:04,900
\nand a rock of offense they
\nstumble because they disobey the<\/p>\n

754
\n00:44:04,900 –> 00:44:08,900
\nword as they were destined to do
\nbut you are a chosen race a <\/p>\n

755
\n00:44:08,900 –> 00:44:12,800
\nroyal priesthood a holy nation a
\npeople for his own possession <\/p>\n

756
\n00:44:12,800 –> 00:44:16,000
\nthat you may proclaim the
\nexcellencies of him who called <\/p>\n

757
\n00:44:16,000 –> 00:44:20,200
\nyou out of Darkness into His
\nMarvelous Light. <\/p>\n

758
\n00:44:20,900 –> 00:44:23,900
\nWe’re going to take a Few more
\nminutes then consider one final <\/p>\n

759
\n00:44:23,900 –> 00:44:26,400
\nlesson from this episode of
\nconfession, but I want to pause <\/p>\n

760
\n00:44:26,400 –> 00:44:30,600
\nhere just to sum up the two
\nlessons we’ve seen so far first <\/p>\n

761
\n00:44:31,000 –> 00:44:35,600
\nwe need not to be swept away in
\nsociety’s view of Jesus whom do <\/p>\n

762
\n00:44:35,600 –> 00:44:39,100
\nmen say that I am is a relevant
\nquestion today in the answer <\/p>\n

763
\n00:44:39,100 –> 00:44:41,900
\nmatters.
\nHe’s not part of the Trinity nor<\/p>\n

764
\n00:44:41,900 –> 00:44:45,800
\nis he simply a role model?
\nHe is the promised Messiah of <\/p>\n

765
\n00:44:45,800 –> 00:44:48,700
\nthe Old Testament the anointed
\none who would sit on David’s <\/p>\n

766
\n00:44:48,700 –> 00:44:53,200
\nThrone the Christ the son of the
\nliving In God we need to be <\/p>\n

767
\n00:44:53,200 –> 00:44:57,600
\nready to explain that when asked
\nto reason from the scripture. <\/p>\n

768
\n00:44:57,600 –> 00:45:00,900
\nWhen asked what we believe about
\nJesus, but our answer to that <\/p>\n

769
\n00:45:00,900 –> 00:45:03,600
\nquestion of whom do men say that
\nI am is not simply an <\/p>\n

770
\n00:45:03,600 –> 00:45:06,100
\nintellectual exercise.
\nIt’s not enough just to get the <\/p>\n

771
\n00:45:06,100 –> 00:45:08,900
\nthe factual bullet points, right
\nit certainly starts with <\/p>\n

772
\n00:45:08,900 –> 00:45:11,200
\nintellect.
\nIt starts with knowing what the <\/p>\n

773
\n00:45:11,208 –> 00:45:14,700
\nBible says but it goes beyond
\nthat. <\/p>\n

774
\n00:45:15,100 –> 00:45:17,400
\nThis statement of faith is a
\nfoundation. <\/p>\n

775
\n00:45:17,400 –> 00:45:21,600
\nThat should also be seen in our
\nlife because we believe that Is <\/p>\n

776
\n00:45:21,600 –> 00:45:25,600
\nthe Christ the anointed one who
\nwill sit on David’s Throne we <\/p>\n

777
\n00:45:25,600 –> 00:45:28,400
\nshould live in such a way that
\nlooks for the coming Kingdom <\/p>\n

778
\n00:45:28,700 –> 00:45:30,900
\nrather than citizenship in this
\nworld something. <\/p>\n

779
\n00:45:30,900 –> 00:45:33,800
\nWe’ll talk about in our evening
\nclass tonight because we believe<\/p>\n

780
\n00:45:33,800 –> 00:45:37,600
\nhe’s the son of the Living God
\nwho knows and sees all we should<\/p>\n

781
\n00:45:37,600 –> 00:45:41,000
\nlive in such a way that is
\nconscious of God’s consciousness<\/p>\n

782
\n00:45:41,100 –> 00:45:44,500
\nof all that we do because we
\nbelieve that he is the Christ <\/p>\n

783
\n00:45:44,500 –> 00:45:47,100
\nthe son of the Living God.
\nWe need to share that with <\/p>\n

784
\n00:45:47,100 –> 00:45:50,800
\nothers we have keys as Jesus
\nsaid that can unlock the <\/p>\n

785
\n00:45:50,800 –> 00:45:52,000
\nkingdom.
\nFor others. <\/p>\n

786
\n00:45:52,300 –> 00:45:55,000
\nIt’s a call to preach the gospel
\nindeed. <\/p>\n

787
\n00:45:55,000 –> 00:45:57,000
\nPeter later talks about
\npreaching as the natural <\/p>\n

788
\n00:45:57,000 –> 00:45:59,800
\nextension of belief sincere
\nbelief naturally leads to <\/p>\n

789
\n00:45:59,800 –> 00:46:02,700
\npreaching Peter talked about
\nthis today Sanhedrin over in <\/p>\n

790
\n00:46:02,700 –> 00:46:07,000
\nActs chapter 4 verse 24 we
\ncannot but speak the things <\/p>\n

791
\n00:46:07,000 –> 00:46:10,100
\nwhich we have seen and heard or
\nis Paul later explains over in <\/p>\n

792
\n00:46:10,100 –> 00:46:13,200
\n2nd Corinthians.
\nWe believe and therefore we <\/p>\n

793
\n00:46:13,200 –> 00:46:17,300
\nspeak and finally Peter shows us
\nthat Faith isn’t just about what<\/p>\n

794
\n00:46:17,300 –> 00:46:19,700
\nwe say.
\nIt’s about when we say it as <\/p>\n

795
\n00:46:19,700 –> 00:46:23,700
\nwell it was I think the follow
\nJesus and the early days of his <\/p>\n

796
\n00:46:23,700 –> 00:46:26,300
\nRising popularity when everyone
\nelse was doing it. <\/p>\n

797
\n00:46:26,900 –> 00:46:31,300
\nIt’s another thing to follow
\nJesus when you’re all alone when<\/p>\n

798
\n00:46:31,300 –> 00:46:34,300
\nthe world around us throws
\nitself into the Gates of Hell in<\/p>\n

799
\n00:46:34,300 –> 00:46:36,400
\npursuit of the passing pleasures
\nof sin. <\/p>\n

800
\n00:46:36,800 –> 00:46:41,100
\nDo we dare make a stand and say
\nthose things are dead to us that<\/p>\n

801
\n00:46:41,100 –> 00:46:46,900
\nwe know that Jesus is the Christ
\nthe son of the Living God will <\/p>\n

802
\n00:46:46,900 –> 00:46:50,300
\nclose out our considerations
\nthis morning with a contrast <\/p>\n

803
\n00:46:50,300 –> 00:46:52,700
\nthat’s going to be emblematic.
\nAttic of our studies tomorrow <\/p>\n

804
\n00:46:52,700 –> 00:46:56,000
\nmorning as we move down to the
\nfinal passage here in Matthew <\/p>\n

805
\n00:46:56,000 –> 00:46:59,700
\nchapter 16 verses 20 as is often
\nthe case with Peter. <\/p>\n

806
\n00:47:00,000 –> 00:47:04,400
\nWe see a failure come right on
\nthe heels of a beautiful success<\/p>\n

807
\n00:47:05,100 –> 00:47:07,700
\nand while Peter has grown so
\nmuch in the past years with the <\/p>\n

808
\n00:47:07,700 –> 00:47:12,300
\nLord, he still struggles like we
\nall do the episode recorded in <\/p>\n

809
\n00:47:12,300 –> 00:47:16,000
\nMatthew chapter 16 verse 20
\nthrough 22 and Mark chapter XXX <\/p>\n

810
\n00:47:16,000 –> 00:47:19,600
\nor Mark chapter 8 verses 30
\nthrough 32 is dramatic. <\/p>\n

811
\n00:47:21,100 –> 00:47:24,600
\nJesus based on Peters confession
\nis talking more plainly than he <\/p>\n

812
\n00:47:24,600 –> 00:47:28,800
\never did before Matthew 16 verse
\n21 records the following from <\/p>\n

813
\n00:47:28,800 –> 00:47:31,600
\nthat time forth Jesus forth
\nbegan. <\/p>\n

814
\n00:47:31,600 –> 00:47:35,200
\nJesus to show unto his disciples
\nhow he must go to Jerusalem and <\/p>\n

815
\n00:47:35,200 –> 00:47:37,500
\nsuffer many things of the elders
\nand the chief priests and the <\/p>\n

816
\n00:47:37,500 –> 00:47:41,400
\nscribes and be killed and be
\nraised again on the third day no<\/p>\n

817
\n00:47:41,400 –> 00:47:45,000
\nmore speaking in types and
\nsymbols of eating his flesh as <\/p>\n

818
\n00:47:45,000 –> 00:47:49,200
\nthe Mana sent down from heaven
\nJesus now plainly saying to them<\/p>\n

819
\n00:47:49,200 –> 00:47:52,100
\nthat he would have to suffer.
\nSuffer and die before Rising <\/p>\n

820
\n00:47:52,100 –> 00:47:55,200
\nagain to life the parallel
\naccount over at Mark chapter 8 <\/p>\n

821
\n00:47:55,200 –> 00:47:59,300
\nverse 32 adds emphasis to this.
\nHe spoke to them saying openly <\/p>\n

822
\n00:47:59,300 –> 00:48:02,000
\nthat openly there was no
\nmisunderstanding. <\/p>\n

823
\n00:48:02,100 –> 00:48:05,900
\nThe message wasn’t knew from the
\ntime that John the Baptist had <\/p>\n

824
\n00:48:05,900 –> 00:48:08,500
\ncalled Jesus the Lamb of God,
\nwhich taketh away the sin of the<\/p>\n

825
\n00:48:08,500 –> 00:48:11,800
\nworld the illusions of the
\nteaching had been there, but <\/p>\n

826
\n00:48:11,800 –> 00:48:16,300
\nhere it’s being stated clearly.
\nJesus is building on the image <\/p>\n

827
\n00:48:16,300 –> 00:48:19,100
\nof himself as the stone and
\nLuke’s account over at nine <\/p>\n

828
\n00:48:19,100 –> 00:48:22,100
\nverse 22 He notes that he will
\nbe rejected like that stone. <\/p>\n

829
\n00:48:22,100 –> 00:48:26,700
\nThe builders rejected harkening
\nback to that Messianic Psalm 118<\/p>\n

830
\n00:48:27,100 –> 00:48:30,400
\nand Peter reacts to this.
\nHey, he tries to employ some of <\/p>\n

831
\n00:48:30,400 –> 00:48:33,200
\nhis implied binding and loosing
\npower in the language and the <\/p>\n

832
\n00:48:33,200 –> 00:48:37,300
\nGreek here is intense.
\nMatthew says he took him away <\/p>\n

833
\n00:48:37,400 –> 00:48:40,500
\nusing a word that means to take
\naside to take literally by the <\/p>\n

834
\n00:48:40,500 –> 00:48:44,800
\nhand into the lead away in
\nsounds that as if Jesus. <\/p>\n

835
\n00:48:45,500 –> 00:48:48,900
\nIt sounds that as Jesus was
\nteaching Peter stands up ghost <\/p>\n

836
\n00:48:48,900 –> 00:48:52,700
\nup to jesus takes his hand and
\ntake some away to the side and <\/p>\n

837
\n00:48:52,700 –> 00:48:58,900
\nthe word here for rebuke is most
\nfrequently used when Jesus cast <\/p>\n

838
\n00:48:58,900 –> 00:49:01,600
\nout evil spirits the same type
\nof rebuking that Peter is now <\/p>\n

839
\n00:49:01,600 –> 00:49:04,400
\ngiving to Jesus.
\nIt’s the voice that Jesus used <\/p>\n

840
\n00:49:04,400 –> 00:49:09,000
\nto rebuked the wind and the
\nwaves it’s also the term that <\/p>\n

841
\n00:49:09,000 –> 00:49:12,900
\nJesus use a few verses before
\nwhen he charged his disciples <\/p>\n

842
\n00:49:12,900 –> 00:49:15,200
\nnot to spread the news that he
\nwas the anointed king. <\/p>\n

843
\n00:49:15,800 –> 00:49:19,800
\nPeter is now using that rebuking
\nauthoritative voice. <\/p>\n

844
\n00:49:20,100 –> 00:49:24,800
\nTalk to his master Peter tells
\nJesus be it far from the Lord. <\/p>\n

845
\n00:49:25,300 –> 00:49:28,300
\nThis shall not be unto thee.
\nThe language is emphatic a <\/p>\n

846
\n00:49:28,308 –> 00:49:32,200
\ndouble negative in the Greek
\nhere Petros the rock that should<\/p>\n

847
\n00:49:32,200 –> 00:49:36,200
\nhave been aligned with Jesus.
\nThe Cornerstone was now becoming<\/p>\n

848
\n00:49:36,200 –> 00:49:41,500
\na stumbling block himself Peter
\nstatement recalls the third <\/p>\n

849
\n00:49:41,500 –> 00:49:45,300
\nWilderness Temptation again the
\ntemptation to avoid the cross <\/p>\n

850
\n00:49:45,800 –> 00:49:49,200
\nand Matthew note that he began
\nto rebuke him there. <\/p>\n

851
\n00:49:49,200 –> 00:49:53,800
\nHe was going to to say more and
\nJesus reaction here is quick <\/p>\n

852
\n00:49:54,400 –> 00:49:59,100
\nPeter took him aside, but
\nMatthew notes that Jesus turned <\/p>\n

853
\n00:49:59,200 –> 00:50:05,200
\nand verse 23 over at Market says
\nhe turned around and looked on <\/p>\n

854
\n00:50:05,200 –> 00:50:07,700
\nhis disciples to get a mental
\npicture of what’s Happening. <\/p>\n

855
\n00:50:07,700 –> 00:50:10,100
\nJesus is talking to his
\ndisciples about his death Peter <\/p>\n

856
\n00:50:10,100 –> 00:50:13,900
\nstands up takes Jesus by the
\nhand and rebukes him with a loud<\/p>\n

857
\n00:50:13,900 –> 00:50:18,000
\nauthoritative voice Jesus turns
\naway from Peters grasp back <\/p>\n

858
\n00:50:18,000 –> 00:50:21,600
\ntoward the disciples with Peter
\nnow. find him and then he says <\/p>\n

859
\n00:50:21,600 –> 00:50:25,600
\nthose well-known words get thee
\nbehind me Satan now to an <\/p>\n

860
\n00:50:25,600 –> 00:50:30,100
\noffence unto me for thou
\nsavourest not the things that be<\/p>\n

861
\n00:50:30,100 –> 00:50:34,400
\nof God, but those that be of men
\nand notice how young literal <\/p>\n

862
\n00:50:34,500 –> 00:50:38,200
\nliteral translation more
\naccurately renders that verse <\/p>\n

863
\n00:50:38,900 –> 00:50:41,800
\nand he having turned said to
\nPeter get thee behind me <\/p>\n

864
\n00:50:41,800 –> 00:50:45,800
\nadversary thou art a stumbling
\nblock to me for thou does not <\/p>\n

865
\n00:50:45,800 –> 00:50:50,500
\nmind the things of God, but the
\nthings of men the Ivy has a <\/p>\n

866
\n00:50:50,500 –> 00:50:54,900
\nsimilar rendition where Jesus
\nuses the term stumbling block <\/p>\n

867
\n00:50:54,900 –> 00:50:58,500
\nand ironic reference just based
\non his prior conversation with <\/p>\n

868
\n00:50:58,500 –> 00:51:04,700
\nPeter and notice that oh, yeah,
\nand notice that even though he <\/p>\n

869
\n00:51:04,700 –> 00:51:07,700
\ntells Peter to get behind him,
\nwhere is Jesus looking when he <\/p>\n

870
\n00:51:07,700 –> 00:51:10,500
\nmakes the statement he’s looking
\nback at his disciples not as <\/p>\n

871
\n00:51:10,500 –> 00:51:12,200
\nPeter.
\nHe had already put Temptation <\/p>\n

872
\n00:51:12,200 –> 00:51:14,200
\nbehind him.
\nWhat a great example of being <\/p>\n

873
\n00:51:14,200 –> 00:51:17,600
\nproactive to remove ourselves
\nfrom tempting situations. <\/p>\n

874
\n00:51:17,800 –> 00:51:19,900
\nLet’s walk through that again
\nJesus charges. <\/p>\n

875
\n00:51:20,100 –> 00:51:23,800
\nDisciples he’s facing his
\ndisciples Peter takes him aside.<\/p>\n

876
\n00:51:25,100 –> 00:51:29,300
\nBut when he had turned about and
\nlooked on his disciples, he <\/p>\n

877
\n00:51:29,300 –> 00:51:32,900
\nrebuked Peter Jesus wasn’t
\nwaiting for Peter to decide to <\/p>\n

878
\n00:51:32,900 –> 00:51:35,400
\nget behind him.
\nJesus turned again to his <\/p>\n

879
\n00:51:35,400 –> 00:51:38,200
\ndisciples.
\nSo that Peter was behind him and<\/p>\n

880
\n00:51:38,200 –> 00:51:40,600
\nwhat a great example for us to
\nhow to deal with temptation <\/p>\n

881
\n00:51:41,000 –> 00:51:45,000
\nJesus again physically moved and
\ntook decisive action so that he <\/p>\n

882
\n00:51:45,000 –> 00:51:48,900
\nwill not stumble we can take the
\nphrase get thee behind me Satan <\/p>\n

883
\n00:51:48,900 –> 00:51:52,000
\nas a command that relied upon
\nthe compliance of Satan to <\/p>\n

884
\n00:51:52,000 –> 00:51:56,900
\nremove himself as an adversary.
\nTo get behind but Jesus wasn’t <\/p>\n

885
\n00:51:56,900 –> 00:51:58,500
\ndoing that.
\nHe didn’t wait for Peter to <\/p>\n

886
\n00:51:58,500 –> 00:52:01,800
\nchoose to get behind him.
\nHe moves so that the adversary <\/p>\n

887
\n00:52:01,800 –> 00:52:04,000
\nwas behind him and there are
\ncountless ways. <\/p>\n

888
\n00:52:04,000 –> 00:52:08,200
\nWe can apply that same lesson if
\nit’s a matter of being tempted <\/p>\n

889
\n00:52:08,200 –> 00:52:11,000
\nby lust we physically remove
\nourselves from the situation. <\/p>\n

890
\n00:52:11,000 –> 00:52:15,000
\nDo we do we put Satan behind us
\nif we’re being tempted to have <\/p>\n

891
\n00:52:15,000 –> 00:52:19,000
\nour lives consumed by things of
\nwork or school or Leisure to the<\/p>\n

892
\n00:52:19,000 –> 00:52:22,300
\nexclusion of occlusal or family
\nresponsibilities. <\/p>\n

893
\n00:52:22,600 –> 00:52:24,700
\nDo we look to physically remove
\nourselves from those? <\/p>\n

894
\n00:52:24,800 –> 00:52:28,700
\nA situation that will lightly
\nlikely result in going to access<\/p>\n

895
\n00:52:29,700 –> 00:52:34,200
\nits what from its what’s from
\ninside that defiles a man just <\/p>\n

896
\n00:52:34,200 –> 00:52:37,100
\nas Jesus taught before his a
\njourney North to caesarea <\/p>\n

897
\n00:52:37,100 –> 00:52:40,700
\nPhilippi, but still those
\noutward actions matter and help <\/p>\n

898
\n00:52:40,700 –> 00:52:44,400
\nus practically deal with the
\nTemptations we encounter and so <\/p>\n

899
\n00:52:44,400 –> 00:52:47,000
\nJesus having put Satan behind
\nhim and telling him to stay <\/p>\n

900
\n00:52:47,000 –> 00:52:50,700
\nthere.
\nJesus gives us some insight into<\/p>\n

901
\n00:52:50,700 –> 00:52:53,400
\nwhat Peter was thinking when he
\nrebuked Jesus. <\/p>\n

902
\n00:52:54,300 –> 00:52:57,500
\nI will close with these verses
\nJesus says unto his disciples If<\/p>\n

903
\n00:52:57,500 –> 00:53:00,000
\nany man will come after me let
\nhim deny himself and take up his<\/p>\n

904
\n00:53:00,000 –> 00:53:04,200
\ncross and follow me for
\nwhosoever will save his life <\/p>\n

905
\n00:53:04,200 –> 00:53:09,100
\nshall lose it and whoever will
\nlose his life for my sake will <\/p>\n

906
\n00:53:09,100 –> 00:53:11,000
\nfind it and the final verses
\nhere. <\/p>\n

907
\n00:53:11,000 –> 00:53:13,900
\nGive us some insight into what
\nPeter was thinking Peter had <\/p>\n

908
\n00:53:13,900 –> 00:53:17,800
\novercome his reluctance to
\ncommit when he was called by the<\/p>\n

909
\n00:53:17,800 –> 00:53:19,900
\nsee initially as we saw in our
\nfirst class. <\/p>\n

910
\n00:53:20,100 –> 00:53:23,200
\nHe had overcome the doubt when
\nhe sank into the waves as we saw<\/p>\n

911
\n00:53:23,200 –> 00:53:25,700
\nin our second.
\nClass but Peter still had to <\/p>\n

912
\n00:53:25,700 –> 00:53:30,000
\nlearn the lesson that the cross
\nwould come before the crown and <\/p>\n

913
\n00:53:30,000 –> 00:53:33,600
\nthe call to follow Christ to Joy
\nfirst went through trial <\/p>\n

914
\n00:53:34,300 –> 00:53:36,500
\nfollowing Jesus.
\nNow from behind Peter was <\/p>\n

915
\n00:53:36,500 –> 00:53:39,600
\nlistening intently.
\nNever before had he been so <\/p>\n

916
\n00:53:39,600 –> 00:53:43,800
\nashamed never before had he so
\nmissed the mark and never would <\/p>\n

917
\n00:53:43,800 –> 00:53:47,300
\nPeter forget the lesson.
\nHe learned that day six months <\/p>\n

918
\n00:53:47,300 –> 00:53:53,000
\nlater on rather than saying this
\nshall not be Peter said Lord <\/p>\n

919
\n00:53:53,200 –> 00:53:56,100
\nwith the eye.
\nI’m ready to go to prison and to<\/p>\n

920
\n00:53:56,100 –> 00:54:00,500
\ndeath after the resurrection and
\nJesus Ascension into heaven. <\/p>\n

921
\n00:54:00,700 –> 00:54:03,600
\nThe fact that Christ had to
\nsuffer first was a core of <\/p>\n

922
\n00:54:03,600 –> 00:54:06,800
\nPeters message and most
\nsignificantly in Peters first <\/p>\n

923
\n00:54:06,800 –> 00:54:08,300
\nepistle.
\nHe talks more about the <\/p>\n

924
\n00:54:08,300 –> 00:54:10,900
\nimportance of the sufferings of
\nChrist and partnering with the <\/p>\n

925
\n00:54:10,900 –> 00:54:13,800
\nsufferings of Christ and seeing
\nChrist go through those <\/p>\n

926
\n00:54:13,800 –> 00:54:17,700
\nsufferings as an example for us
\nto follow. <\/p>\n

927
\n00:54:17,900 –> 00:54:20,400
\nHe talks more about this than
\nany other place in the New <\/p>\n

928
\n00:54:20,400 –> 00:54:24,200
\nTestament picking up on the same
\nword that Jesus used in Matthew <\/p>\n

929
\n00:54:24,200 –> 00:54:29,400
\n16:21 14 of the other 40
\noccurrences appear in First <\/p>\n

930
\n00:54:29,400 –> 00:54:32,400
\nPeter Peter learn to look at the
\nsufferings of Jesus not as <\/p>\n

931
\n00:54:32,400 –> 00:54:36,700
\nsomething to be avoided at all
\ncost but as a way of life and <\/p>\n

932
\n00:54:36,700 –> 00:54:39,900
\nhis crucifixion as an example,
\nthat should permeate all aspects<\/p>\n

933
\n00:54:39,900 –> 00:54:43,300
\nof Our Lives Peter wrote for
\nhere. <\/p>\n

934
\n00:54:43,300 –> 00:54:46,700
\nAnd who were you called because
\nChrist also suffered for us <\/p>\n

935
\n00:54:46,900 –> 00:54:51,200
\nleaving us an example that we
\nshould follow in his steps Peter<\/p>\n

936
\n00:54:51,200 –> 00:54:53,800
\nthen goes on his next chapters
\nto talk about how Christ <\/p>\n

937
