"Feter's Great Confession"
Matt. 1C:13-2S; Luke, 9:18-36;
No man has ever spoken so great
a truth as when Peter said to the
question of Jesus: "Who say ye that
I am?" and Peter said: "The Christ
1,1 nii mis mougnt in our
mind we go back and bring up the
history from our last lesson. A year
and a half has elapsed since the call
or Peter; it is now September, 2S A
D. Jei.us and his disciples are ' in
northern Galilee: From Matthew and
Mark we learn the place was Cesarea
Phiiippi, at the foot hills of Mt. Her
r.ion in Gentile territory, among
pagan people.
"This journey of our Lord and his
disciples was, in the first instance, a
retreat from Jewish hostilitv. But!
it became also ihe occasion of his
resolution to return to meet the Jews,
end the death which lay ready for
him in their hate." (George Adam
Smith).
We aproach now one of the great
est, cne of the most disputed passages
in all of the new testament. It is
worthy cf the most careful study.
Firit, we will be alone with Jesus as
he prayed. Sometimes he took the
disciplos "apart," away from the dis
traction cf the multitudes. (Luke 9:
10; Matt. 17:1, 20:17).
"This confession, this ripening of
the faith of the apostles, came as the
result cf hi3 persistent teaching, and
l.i3 labor in prevailing prayer." (Al
bert C. Wieand).
Jecu.3 wanted to know what con
clusions the people had formed re
garding his person; the emphasis is
stable; but truth is eternal and fail
eth never." (A. B. Bruce).
(The meaning of Christ's words re
garding the keys of the kingdom of
heaven may well be omitted. Matt.
16:19.) .
Why the disciples should tell this
to no man is easily understood. "They
were not ready. They had an incom
plete understanding. To proclaim him
as the Messiah, Prophet, Redeemer,
Ruler, apart from the cross, was to
break down. They had to wait." (G.
Campbell Morgan). -
"The Son of Man" (which was. the
title Jesus almost always used in re
ferring to himself) "must suffer many
things." This is the first time Christ
definitely speaks of his "suffering."
It is one of the most terrible words
in our language. His suffering was
foretold. (Isa. 53). He was "reject
ed" because he did not come up to
men- expectation their leaders, the
Elders, Chief Priests and Scribes.
It is so today the worldly wise,
the self-righteous, have no need of a
savior and so they pass him by. But
that is not the end. They may think
they have "killed" him, done away
with him but he is alive for ever
more and will call these people to
sn account; they are his enemies and
he will deal with them. See Luke
19:27, where he savs: "P.nt tho
mine enemies, which would not that
I should reign over them, bring them
hither, and slay them before me."
And God means what he says.
The fellowship of Jesus is a volun
teer act no compulsion. Christ draws
but dees not compel. It must be a

"Despite the fact that labor dif

as had been expected at the begin

mand for new cars and trucks en
abled the Industry to finish the
twelve months with a total now es

represented a wholesale value of $1,
453,800,000. It not only was a 45
percent increase over the preceding
year but was roughly double the
number of vehicles produced by the

approximately 590,000 motor truck
