[559.14 --> 560.82] and I'll build my church on you
[560.82 --> 562.40] and others who confess
[562.40 --> 563.90] like you have.
[565.06 --> 566.28] I'm not going to get into the whole
[566.28 --> 567.08] papal thing,
[567.22 --> 569.14] which Roman Catholics tend to do.
[569.14 --> 571.52] We don't go down that path the same way.
[571.80 --> 574.70] But Peter is certainly a leader,
[574.84 --> 575.84] an important leader.
[576.52 --> 578.24] And Jesus does call him rock,
[578.48 --> 581.26] but he's calling this confession rock solid.
[583.06 --> 585.06] Peter, shortly after this,
[585.14 --> 586.64] because if we're looking just at Peter,
[587.18 --> 587.92] shortly after this,
[587.92 --> 589.00] that's why that last verse
[589.00 --> 589.80] where I,
[590.22 --> 591.48] out of Matthew,
[591.48 --> 592.86] he says,
[592.96 --> 593.86] from then on,
[593.92 --> 595.10] he went and was showing them
[595.10 --> 596.64] that he must go to Jerusalem
[596.64 --> 598.42] and must eventually die
[598.42 --> 599.26] and rise again.
[600.00 --> 601.30] I included that
[601.30 --> 603.26] because right after that,
[603.34 --> 603.90] after Jesus said,
[604.00 --> 604.90] I'm going to Jerusalem,
[604.98 --> 605.40] I'm going to die,
[605.80 --> 606.70] Peter says,
[606.86 --> 609.00] no way,
[609.14 --> 610.56] you can't do that.
[611.42 --> 612.62] And then Jesus says to him,
[613.12 --> 613.86] because he's saying,
[613.94 --> 614.60] don't do the mission,
[615.02 --> 615.82] Jesus says to him,
[616.14 --> 617.32] get thee behind me, Satan.
[617.56 --> 618.26] What you're saying
[618.26 --> 620.00] is contrary to what I'm trying to do.
[621.46 --> 622.18] The same Peter
[622.18 --> 624.20] who denies Jesus three times.
[624.88 --> 627.74] So Peter isn't really the point.
[631.78 --> 632.58] And Peter's,
[633.16 --> 633.72] and us,
[634.26 --> 637.22] Jesus hands the keys of the kingdom to us.
[637.22 --> 637.38] You know,
[637.48 --> 638.78] I had a hard enough time
[638.78 --> 640.88] handing keys to teenagers
[640.88 --> 642.98] when they learned to drive.
[643.12 --> 644.58] Jesus is saying to the church,
[644.72 --> 644.82] wow,
[645.10 --> 646.68] here's the keys to the kingdom
[646.68 --> 648.90] that the truth of the gospel
[648.90 --> 650.76] is in your hands.
[651.40 --> 653.12] And I love how Paul describes it
[653.12 --> 655.48] in 2 Corinthians 4, 7,
[656.18 --> 657.48] where Paul writes this,
[657.96 --> 659.26] but we have this treasure,
[659.46 --> 660.70] this gift of the gospel,
[661.14 --> 662.36] this treasure of faith
[662.36 --> 664.28] in jars of clay.
[665.72 --> 667.22] In jars of clay.
[667.40 --> 667.90] That's us.
[668.02 --> 669.04] We're jars of clay.
[669.14 --> 670.10] We crack easily.
[670.42 --> 672.08] Yet we're called rocks.
[673.24 --> 673.96] Okay, together.
[673.96 --> 675.44] jars of clay
[675.44 --> 676.68] to show that this
[676.68 --> 677.72] all-surpassing power
[677.72 --> 678.90] is from God
[678.90 --> 681.46] and not us.
[684.14 --> 685.52] So Peter's named Rock.
[686.54 --> 687.28] One scholar,
[687.48 --> 688.58] I don't really know
[688.58 --> 689.62] if it's 100% true or not.
[689.96 --> 690.78] I'd have to think
[690.78 --> 691.44] a little hard on it.
[691.68 --> 692.56] But I like what he said.
[692.68 --> 693.00] In a way,
[693.06 --> 693.68] he said this was,
[694.40 --> 695.30] when he called Peter
[695.30 --> 695.98] Rock,
[696.06 --> 697.34] he used the word Petros,
[697.88 --> 698.52] which kind of,
[698.78 --> 699.40] according to this one scholar,
[699.48 --> 700.26] means little rock.
[700.26 --> 703.26] And then he called himself Petra,
[703.40 --> 704.00] which means rock,
[704.08 --> 705.46] which means big, solid rock.
[706.66 --> 707.76] I like the picture
[707.76 --> 709.34] of this little rock
[709.34 --> 710.26] being built
[710.26 --> 711.32] on the foundation
[711.32 --> 712.88] of the solid rock of Jesus,
[713.00 --> 713.32] because I think
[713.32 --> 714.16] that's what's going on here.
[715.42 --> 716.92] But these are flawed,
[717.32 --> 718.86] cracked rocks that we are,
[719.82 --> 721.36] who confess Jesus
[721.36 --> 722.52] is the true foundation.
