Matt 16:13 When Jesus arrived in the

villages of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his

disciples, “What are people saying about

who the Son of Man is?”

14 They replied, “Some think he is John

the Baptizer, some say Elijah, some

Jeremiah or one of the other prophets.”

Matt 16:15 He pressed them, “And how

about you? Who do you say I am?”

16 Simon Peter said, “You’re the Christ,

the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

17–18 Jesus came back, “God bless

you, Simon, son of Jonah! You didn’t get

that answer out of books or from teachers.

Matt 16:18 My Father in heaven, God

himself, let you in on this secret of who I

really am. And now I’m going to tell you

who you are, really are. You are Peter, a

rock. This is the rock on which I will put

together my church, a church so expansive

with energy that not even the gates of hell

will be able to keep it out.

Matt 16:19 “And that’s not all. You will

have complete and free access to God’s

kingdom, keys to open any and every door:

no more barriers between heaven and

earth, earth and heaven. A yes on earth is

yes in heaven. A no on earth is no in

heaven.”

Eph 4:1 In light of all this, here’s what I want

you to do. While I’m locked up here, a prisoner

for the Master, I want you to get out there and

walk—better yet, run!—on the road God called

you to travel. I don’t want any of you sitting

around on your hands. I don’t want anyone

strolling off, down some path that goes

nowhere. And mark that you do this with

humility and discipline—not in fits and starts,

Eph 4:3 but steadily, pouring yourselves out

for each other in acts of love, alert at noticing

differences and quick at mending fences.

4–6 You were all called to travel on the same

road and in the same direction, so stay

together, both outwardly and inwardly. You

have one Master, one faith, one baptism, one

God and Father of all, who rules over all, works

through all, and is present in all.

Eph 4:6 Everything you are and think and do is

permeated with Oneness.

7–13 But that doesn’t mean you should

all look and speak and act the same. Out of the

generosity of Christ, each of us is given his

own gift.
