Building on a Solid Foundation Matthew 7:24-28

Peter’s Declaration about Jesus Matthew 16:13-19

Petros or Peter is man at his best recognizing that Jesus is Messiah.

Messiah = Anointed One = the King = Saviour = the One who does for you what you cannot do for yourself. Messiah does help you but he is far more than a helper.

Your birth mother is your saviour. You could not birth yourself. Your mother did not need your help. You had no part in the process.

The airline pilot is your travel saviour. They do not need your help. Your part is to get to the airport.

The neurosurgeon is your saviour if you have a brain tumour. Your part is to show up! He/she does not need your help.

Paul’s identifies the Rock 1 Corinthians 10:1-5

The rejected Rock Matthew 21:42-44

The great longing of the human heart is for more than we are.

When the princess kisses the frog he turns into the prince.

The prince kisses sleeping beauty and she awakes to a wonderful life.

The prodigal son plans to be a servant. His father planned for him to be his son.

Those who are victorious (over their pathetic failure of imagination—Revelation 21:8 cowards outside the city) will sit on the throne with Jesus

Revelation 3:21 Those who are victorious will sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat with my Father on his throne.

Romans 8:14-17 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children[a] of God.

Galatians 3:29  And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children[a] of Abraham. You are his heirs, and God’s promise to Abraham belongs to you.

Galatians 4:7 Now you are no longer a slave but God’s own child.[a] And since you are his child, God has made you his heir.

Jesus knows me by name.

I am precious to him. He has forgiven all my sins and written my name in his book of life. I am his royal brother, we are heirs together of God’s glory. My failures are not the interest of Jesus. His interest is that I learn to think the way he does about myself and others. He wants to inspire and fire my imagination with wonder.

In the movie, “The Chosen” when Jesus invites Matthew the tax collector to become a disciple Peter is most upset with Jesus. Peter’s imagination was pathetically poverty stricken. O Lord fire my imagination. Let me dare to think as you do!
