"And you? “, he asked. "Who do you say I am? ”
Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Jesus replied: “Happy are you, Simon, son of Jonah! For this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father who is in heaven.
And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not be able to overcome it.
I will give you the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven; Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

Then he warned his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Christ.
From that moment Jesus began to explain to his disciples that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the religious leaders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and be killed and rise again on the third day.
Then Peter, taking him aside, began to rebuke him, saying, “Never, Lord! That will never happen to you! “
Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me, and you do not think about the things of God, but about the things of men“.
Matthew 16:13-23
The Importance of the Gospel of the Day
As Christians, we place a high value on God’s Word. It is through belief in the Word of God that we are saved (Rm 10:17). The Word of God then becomes our guide for life in all circumstances, whether in employment, in social life or even in the family circle. Our aspiration should be to live by the Word of God.
