Matthew 16: 13 –
16
When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea
Philippi, he asked his disciples,
"Who do people say the Son of Man
is?"
They replied, "Some say John the
Baptist; others say Elijah; and still
others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets."
"But what about
you?" he
asked. "Who do you say I am?"
Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living
God."
Did you know that this conversation, took place in one
of the most idolatrous places of its time.
I often wonder why Jesus would take His disciples to a
pagan place, to reveal who He was.
Caesarea Philippi was a very dark
place.
The more I think about it, some of the darkest and
weakest places in my life, are His greatest opportunities to fix
me.
Maybe we should all take time, to have Him expose the
dark areas of our life.
Maybe we should learn to trust, in His perfect and
patient love for us.
The gates of Hell shall never prevail against a person,
who has faith and courage enough, to invite Jesus, into those hidden areas of
our soul.
Those areas of my life, that I don’t want anyone else to
see…..He wants to see, and He wants to expose the Light, of His immeasurable
love……….
