Jesus again refuses to give a sign

1-4 Once the Pharisees and the Sadducees arrived together to test him, and asked him to give them a sign from Heaven. But he replied, “When the evening comes you say, ‘Ah, fine weather—the sky is red.’ In the morning you say, ‘There will be a storm today, the sky is red and threatening.’ Yes, you know how to interpret the look of the sky but you have no idea how to interpret the signs of the times! A wicked and unfaithful age insists on a sign; and it will not be given any sign at all but that of the prophet Jonah.” And he turned on his heel and left them.

He is misunderstood by the disciples

5-12 Then his disciples came to him on the other side of the lake, forgetting to bring any bread with them. “Keep your eyes open,” said Jesus to them, “and be on your guard against the ‘yeast’ of the Pharisees and Sadducees!” But they were arguing with each other, and saying, “We forgot to bring the bread.” When Jesus saw this he said to them, “Why all this argument among yourselves about not bringing any bread, you little-faiths? Don’t you understand yet, or have you forgotten the five loaves and the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up afterwards; or the seven loaves and the four thousand and how many baskets you took up then? I wonder why you don’t understand that I wasn’t talking about bread at all—I told you to beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” Then they grasped the fact that he had not told them to be beware of yeast in the ordinary sense but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Peter’s bold affirmation

13 When Jesus reached the Caesarea-Philippi district he asked his disciples a question. “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”

14 “Well, some say John the Baptist,” they told him. “Some say Elijah, others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

15 “But what about you?” he said to them. “Who do you say that I am?”

16 Simon Peter answered, “You? You are Christ, the Son of the living God!”

17-20 “Simon, son of Jonah, you are a fortunate man indeed!” said Jesus, “for it was not your own nature but my Heavenly Father who has revealed this truth to you! Now I tell you that you are Peter the rock, and it is on this rock that I am going to found my Church, and the powers of death will never prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of Heaven; whatever you forbid on earth will be what is forbidden in Heaven and whatever you permit on earth will be what is permitted in Heaven!” Then he impressed on his disciples that they should not tell anyone that he was Christ.

Jesus speaks about his passion, and the cost of following him

21 From that time onwards Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he would have to go to Jerusalem, and endure much suffering from the elders, chief priests and scribes, and finally be killed; and be raised to life again on the third day.

22-23 Then Peter took him on one side and started to remonstrate with him over this. “God bless you, Master! Nothing like this must happen to you!” Then Jesus turned round and said to Peter, “Out of my way, Satan! … you stand right in my path, Peter, when you look at things from man’s point of view and not from God’s”

24-26 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone wants to follow in my footsteps he must give up all right to himself, take up his cross and follow me. For the man who wants to save his life will lose it; but the man who loses his life for my sake will find it. For what good is it for a man to gain the whole world at the price of his own soul? What could a man offer to buy back his soul once he had lost it?

27-28 “For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father and in the company of his angels and then he will repay every man for what he has done. Believe me, there are some standing here today who will know nothing of death till they have seen the Son of Man coming as a king.” — Matthew 16 | J.B.

To gain the whole world but forfeit their soul?

Then someone [heis] came to him and said, ‘Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal [aionion] life [zoen]?’ And he said to him, ‘Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one [heis] who is good. If you wish [theleis] to enter into life [zoen], keep [tereson] the commandments.’ . . .

Jesus said to him, ‘If you wish [theleis] to be perfect [teleios], go, sell your possessions, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure [thesauron] in heaven [en ouranois]; then come, follow [akolouthei] me.’ When the young man heard this word, he went away grieving, for he had many [polla] possessions.

- Matthew 19:16-17, 21-22 NRSVA (1995)

Then Jesus told his disciples [mathetais], ‘If any [tis] want [thelei] to become my followers [opiso mou elthein], let them deny themselves and take up their cross [stauron] and follow [akoloutheito] me. For those who want [thele] to save their life [psychen] will lose it, and those who lose their life [psychen] for my sake will find it. For what will it profit them if they gain the whole [holon] world but forfeit their life [psychen]? Or what will they give in return for their life [psyches]?’

-Matthew 16:24-26 NRSVA (1995)

The steep price of purity of heart

Today we will be looking at the core Bible principle of holiness, and how God has outlined a refining process for every individual who is seeking holiness and purity of heart. 2 Timothy 2:22 – Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. As Timothy was a young leader within the Yeshua movement of Judaism, Paul…

Sabbath Speeches: Authenticity

This talk was delivered in a sacrament meeting in the Summer Hill Ward, in Palmerston North, New Zealand on the 10th of March 2024. ‘To thine own self be true’, is a line from Shakespeare’s play, Hamlet. It is spoken by a man giving his son advice. The sentiment has become very popular. Be true to yourself, we say. Intuitively, it feels like a good thing. Sometimes it’s hard to even pin down who…

MATTHEW S.O.A.P. ~ CHAPTER 16

Thursday,, 3/7/24

SCRIPTURE:

Jesus turned and told Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a hindrance to Me because you’re not thinking about God’s concerns but human concerns.” ~ Matthew 16:23

OBSERVATION:

This right after Jesus telling Peter he would be the rock on which His church would be built...

I learned this early on to mean something I should say to folks - good-meaning (like Peter), or otherwise, and often times in jest - but it ended at the exclamation point...

...but lately I've come to ask myself how often is Jesus telling me this?

...that I am a hindrance to Him because I'm not thinking about God's concerns but human - my own - concerns?

APPLICATION:

Think about God's concerns...

PRAYER:

Holy Father God - Forgive my hindering the coming of Your King by focusing on the things of this world - thank You for Your grace and forgiveness, and may I follow behind Jesus in His steps, thinking first about Your concerns in all things... In His Name, and for Your praise and glory and honor...

Yours - in His Name and for His praise...

Do You Like Me?

He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Matthew 16:15 Is this a design flaw? I seem to care an awful lot about what others think about me. I’ll spend quite a bit of time wondering about people’s real opinion of me. Do they think I’m funny? Nice? Talented? Authentic? Why does it matter so much? For me, it goes all the way back to my childhood. My parents were so supportive and…

Daily Prayer for the Lord's Day: January 28, 2024

Prayer: Most holy Father, we drop to our knees in reverence and awe of your majesty and grace as the one true King of heaven and earth.

Church notes - 3rd September 2023

3rd John 3:16, 17

Communion Isaiah 53

Sermon Matthew 25:31 - 46

Created for Ministry Ephesians 2:20 You were made to make a contribution, not just to consume.

Ephesians 2:10

Called to Ministry 1 Peter 2:9, 10

Gifted for Ministry 1 Peter 4:10

Commanded to Minister Matthew 20:22 - 26

What do you do about it?

Matthew 16:27

It is important that we meet the physical needs of those around us.

Simple acts of kindness. Things that take the focus off ourselves and onto others.

Made for a mission - to share the Good News with others. John 20:21 Acts 1:8

We're to tell others about God and His role in our lives. To share to Gospel. Luke 8:38, 39

2 Peter 3:9

We need to reach people who are out of our world. Like the Samaritans.

1 Corinthians 9:22

We are tasked to build bridges, not walls.

Is anybody going to be in heaven because of you?

The Church that Makes a Difference (Matthew 16:13-20)

Many long to see a Church that seeks to understand the world, provides relevant ministry to others, and tackles the injustice that exists everywhere.

Photo by Felix Mittermeier on Pexels.com When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living…

Vigilance in worship

It takes effort, consistency, and sacrifice to worship God in a way that he desires. Worship today has come to mean many different things to different people. For most, worship is what happens every Sunday at the local church building from 10:30 am to noon. The style of worship varies; some prefer traditional hymns in a quiet, classical style from the European Middle Ages; for others, it is a…
