Open your bible to the book of Matthew, chapter 16 verse 13, the Lord says: ‘’When Jesus came to the region Caesarea Philippi, He asked his disciples, Who do people say the Son of Man is?, Matthew 16:13.” Would Jesus be curious? One only has curiosity when future is unknown, but for Jesus Christ future was certain, even though, He made the question. Each disciple represented a population’s category, there were: fishermen, doctors, painters and others. In a warming way they replied: “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets”, Mathews 16:14 And nowadays, what do they say about Him? Unfortunately, during a prayer some may say: ‘’If you’re really God, do this, do that.” These were the words Satan said to Him, but it’s good for you to know that nobody is either able or has the authority to question God’s divinity.

The blessings of God are very close to you, but sometimes you act as if He owed you any proof, but the Lord has nothing to prove to you. Because He is God and that’s enough.

‘’But what about you, He asked. Who do you say I am? Simon Peter answered, you are the Messiah, the Son of the living God’’ Matthew 16:15 and 16. Peter didn`t need much to believe that he was before the Son of God. “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.’’ Matthew 16:17. It was revealed to him that God is the Savior. How many times did God revealed Himself to you? And how many times have you ignored him? ‘’And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.’’ Matthew 16:18. Jesus Christ is the rock that holds the church. ‘’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.’’ Matthew 16:19. In God’s kingdom not only one has the key but everybody that belongs to it will get one too. The moment you recognize Christ as the Savior you will receive the key, which means you already have it, but for some reason you have forgotten its power. Everything we need comes from Heaven, and you have a way through it. The key is your faith and your prayer
