[723.06 --> 723.48] Even though,
[723.62 --> 724.04] like Peter,
[724.26 --> 725.92] we don't fully comprehend that.
[725.98 --> 726.12] I mean,
[726.16 --> 727.58] Peter doesn't really know
[727.58 --> 728.62] 100% what he's saying
[728.62 --> 728.88] when he says,
[728.88 --> 729.56] you are the Christ,
[729.82 --> 730.44] you are the Messiah,
[730.66 --> 731.30] Son of the living God.
[731.44 --> 733.46] He doesn't get all that.
[735.30 --> 736.54] He doesn't comprehend all that.
[736.54 --> 737.52] That's why Jesus said,
[737.62 --> 738.60] it's a revelation
[738.60 --> 739.28] that you got
[739.28 --> 740.24] that you're going to have
[740.24 --> 741.82] to unpack for a long time.
[742.20 --> 743.52] He doesn't get it completely
[743.52 --> 745.20] until after the resurrection,
[745.58 --> 746.10] after the coming
[746.10 --> 746.76] of the Holy Spirit.
[747.08 --> 747.80] Then there's much
[747.80 --> 748.72] greater understanding.
[749.16 --> 749.66] And that's why,
[749.78 --> 749.96] you know,
[750.00 --> 751.30] soon after this,
[751.36 --> 752.46] he tries to stop Jesus
[752.46 --> 753.30] from going to the cross.
[753.72 --> 754.94] He denied Jesus three times.
[755.28 --> 755.38] Right?
[755.64 --> 756.76] There's the rock.
[757.90 --> 758.34] Flawed.
[758.34 --> 758.86] Broken.
[759.96 --> 760.58] A clay pot.
[762.58 --> 762.98] And yet,
[763.10 --> 764.48] Jesus hands over the keys,
[764.98 --> 766.38] the authority to the church.
[767.90 --> 768.70] Ephesians 2,
[768.80 --> 769.58] it says this way,
[770.30 --> 771.28] 19 and 20.
[771.72 --> 772.22] Paul writes,
[772.30 --> 772.88] consequently,
[773.42 --> 774.36] he's talking to Gentiles,
[774.44 --> 775.36] you're no longer foreigners
[775.36 --> 775.94] and strangers,
[776.28 --> 777.20] but fellow citizens
[777.20 --> 778.06] with God's people,
[778.44 --> 779.60] members of his household,
[779.74 --> 780.14] the church,
[780.62 --> 782.78] built on the foundation
[782.78 --> 784.34] of the apostles
[784.34 --> 785.14] and the prophets
[785.14 --> 786.70] with Christ himself
[786.70 --> 788.64] as chief cornerstone,
[788.92 --> 790.56] as the rock
[790.56 --> 792.32] that holds it all together.
[793.84 --> 795.00] That's what's happening here.
[795.84 --> 798.18] If you recognize Jesus
[798.18 --> 798.88] as Messiah,
[799.06 --> 799.88] son of the living God,
[800.20 --> 800.74] Jesus says,
[801.24 --> 802.10] as he said to Peter,
[802.34 --> 803.78] you are blessed.
[803.78 --> 806.16] We are Peter
[806.16 --> 807.22] when we confess that.
[807.54 --> 808.66] We are rocks too.
[811.06 --> 811.84] You should go to look
[811.84 --> 813.28] at the person next to you
[813.28 --> 813.58] and say,
[813.66 --> 814.16] you rock,
[814.24 --> 814.48] but anyway,
[814.56 --> 815.54] I don't want to do that.
[816.28 --> 817.08] We are rocks,
[817.12 --> 817.98] maybe little rocks,
[818.44 --> 819.30] but we are built
[819.30 --> 819.94] on the foundation,
[820.06 --> 820.44] the cornerstone
[820.44 --> 821.20] of Jesus Christ.
[821.20 --> 821.28] Christ.
[822.48 --> 823.78] We participate
[823.78 --> 825.16] in kingdom bringing
[825.16 --> 826.06] and kingdom living.
[826.44 --> 827.56] We are given authority
[827.56 --> 828.24] as church,
[828.62 --> 830.36] authority that is described here
[830.36 --> 832.10] as binding and loosing,
[832.64 --> 834.20] which is kind of a Jewish term
[834.20 --> 836.20] for what the leaders did
[836.20 --> 836.84] with the law.
[837.34 --> 838.54] They would bind certain things,
[838.64 --> 839.90] make it important
[839.90 --> 841.72] to keep those things contained
[841.72 --> 842.78] and loose things.
[842.94 --> 844.02] You don't have to do that
[844.02 --> 845.36] and you're free to do that
[845.36 --> 847.72] to try to protect the law.
[847.72 --> 851.68] The problem is that
[851.68 --> 853.60] it got out of hand
[853.60 --> 857.90] and it was misused
[857.90 --> 858.92] and we'll talk a little bit more
