GOD’S GUIDANCE
After Peter responded to Jesus you are “the Son of the living
God” [Mt 16:16], Jesus excitedly stated this was revealed to you
“BY MY FATHER IN HEAVEN” [Mt 16:17]. Then Jesus stated
“YOU ARE PETER (WHICH MEANS ‘ROCK’), AND UPON
THIS ROCK I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH, AND ALL THE
POWERS OF HELL WILL NOT CONQUER IT” [Mt 16:18
NL]. Although Peter’s conduct during Jesus ministry might make
him seem unlikely to lead Jesus’ church, the man Peter, who spoke
what God revealed to him, was a great leader. On the day of
Pentecost his preaching resulted in over 3,000 people following
Jesus [Ac 2:41]. Around ten years later, God’s guidance to Peter
resulted in non-Jews becoming followers of Jesus [Ac 10:34-48].
Peter, being open and obedient to God’s guidance, resulted in
people following Jesus. Does God guide you?
