Today's Reading From Matthew 16
Matthew 16 with Commentaries, verse by verse
The demand for a sign Matthew 16.1-12; Mark 8.11-21
Even today we look for sign, we don't go by faith and obedience in seeking God.
The yeasr of the Pharisees and Sadducees was their hypocritical teachings (v. 5-12).
Let us be careful not to be hypocritical in the way how we teach others how to live the Christian Life by saying and not living the Life.
Peter's confession of Christ
Matthew 16.13-16; Mark 8.27-29; Luke 9.18-20
In the Matthew passage, by the Holy Spirit, Peter saw and understood who Jesus was. Jesus is the Christ, the Anointed One, the Chosen One, the Messiah. That question still applies to us today. "Who do you say that I am?". We can never understand who Jesus Christ is unless the Holy Spirit reveals Him to us.
Jesus predicts His death Matthew 16.21-28; Mark 8.31-9.1; Luke 9.22-27
Jesus is the prophet, he forthtell (proclaims the rruth) and foretell about the future. he spoke of his death. How would you feel in this situation. Peter reacted in a human manner and did not understand what was going on! Yet in that confusion God is in control!
