revelation of who He is

When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying,"Who do men say that I, the Son of Man , am?"


So they said, "Some say John the baptist, some Elijah, and others Jerimiah or one of the prophets."


He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"


Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."


Jesus answered and said to them, "Blessed are you , Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you,But my Father who is in heaven.And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of HELL shall not prevail against it.And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and what ever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and what ever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."


Then He commanded His disciples that they should tell no one that He was Jesus the Christ.

This scripture has just been fascinating to me today! and I wanted to express it to you in the way I have viewed it today! The deity of Christ is a truth known only by divine revelation!! And once we have received this revelation of who Jesus is really is we become a stone of the church and the power of death cannot prevent the advance of the kingdom in our lives!! Nor can it claim victory over you! Also, once we receive the revaltion of who He is He will give us the keys, the authority, to bring heaven to earth... and bind things and loose them!!
