Mateus 16

Mateus 16

Henry - Christ reveals his mind to his people gradually. From that time, when the apostles had made the full confession of Christ, that he was the Son of God, he began to show them of his sufferings. He spake this to set right the mistakes of his disciples about the outward pomp and power of his kingdom. Those that follow Christ, must not expect great or high things in this world. Peter would have Christ to dread suffering as much as he did; but we mistake, if we measure Christ's love and patience by our own. We do not read of any thing said or done by any of his disciples, at any time, that Christ resented so much as this. Whoever takes us from that which is good, and would make us fear to do too much for God, speaks Satan's language. Whatever appears to be a temptation to sin, must be resisted with abhorrence, and not be parleyed with. Those that decline suffering for Christ, savour more of the things of man than of the things of God. 34 THE TRANSFIGURATION Matthew 16:21–28; 17:1–13 Many want God’s glory, but are not willing to suffer for having faith. Others want God’s peace, but are not willing to suffer persecution. However, there are many who are willing to follow the Lord all the way! 1. THE DENIAL—Mt 16:21–28 2. THE DIVINE—Mt 17:1–8 3. THE DISCIPLES—Mt 17:9–13 Many Christians are like Peter. They enjoy God’s blessings, but want to keep them for themselves. We enjoy the blessings of God more when we share them with others.

Pity thyself, 1Ki 22:13 Ac 21:11-13 Matthew 16 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries Related Passage: Mark 8:32+ And He was stating the matter plainly. And Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him. PETER CONFRONTS THE MESSIAH HE HAS JUST CONFESSED Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him - This is an amazing passage in which Peter literally, took Jesus to himself. Apparently Peter wanted to give Jesus a private reprimand (rebuke is in present tense)! How patient is the Lord? (Rhetorical!) Broadus - Rebuke implies distinctly that Jesus is in the wrong. Peter did not appreciate the ‘must’ in v. 21, as denoting a necessity of the case. He believed Jesus to be the Messiah, and according to all his ideas it was out of the question that the Messiah should suffer and be killed at Jerusalem. Henry
