Matthew 16:13-18 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? [14] And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. [15] He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? [16] And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. [17] And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. [18] And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
The Church is God’s one redemptive institution placed on this earth.
- It was to the Church that Jesus gave the Great Commission.
- It was through the church that Jesus brings the great message of Salvation to the world.
- It is for the Church that Jesus will return one day.
Never forget the church, despite its faults will stand until Jesus comes again.
- Jesus promised the gates of hell would not prevail and I want to minister a few moments on the Invincible church!
