15. Matthew 16
13
When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi,
he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of
Man is?” 14
They replied, “Some say John the Baptist;
others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of
the prophets.” 15
“But what about you?” he asked.
“Who do you say I am?”

16. Matthew 16
16
Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the
Son of the living God.” 17
Jesus replied, “Blessed are
you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to
you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. 18
And I tell you that you are Peter,[b]
and on this rock I
will build my church, and the gates of Hades[c]
will not
overcome it.

17. Matthew 16
19
I will give you the keys of 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.” 20
Then he ordered his disciples not to tell
anyone that he was the Messiah. 21
From that time on
Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go
to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of
the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the
law, and that he must be killed and on the third day
be raised to life.

18. Matthew 16
22
Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.
“Never, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to
you!” 23
Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind
me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do
not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely
human concerns.”

from unbelievers is the confidence that our suffering is
under the control of an all-powerful and all-loving God.
Our suffering has meaning and purpose in God's eternal
plan, and He brings or allows to come into our lives only
that which is for His glory and our good.”

47. Adorning the Doctrine of God

48. Adorning the Doctrine of God
Romans 8
31
What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God
is for us, who can be against us? 32
He who did not spare his
own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also,
along with him, graciously give us all things? 33
Who will bring
any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God
who justifies.

49. Adorning the Doctrine of God
Romans 8
34
Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus
who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the
right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35
Who shall
separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship
or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?

50. Adorning the Doctrine of God
Romans 8
36
As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered
as sheep to be slaughtered. 37
No, in all these things we are
more than conquerors through him who loved us.

51. Adorning the Doctrine of God
Romans 8
38
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither
angels nor demons,[b] neither the present nor the future, nor
any powers, 39
neither height nor depth, nor anything else in
all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God
that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

52. “To be loved but not known is comforting but
superficial. To be known and not loved is our
greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly
loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God. It is
what we need more than anything. It liberates us
from pretense, humbles us out of our self-
righteousness, and fortifies us for any difficulty
life can throw at us.”
Tim Keller
