Matthew 16:13-20 "Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” And they said, “Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.” He *said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” And Jesus said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.” Then He warned the disciples that they should tell no one that He was the Christ."

There it is.' God's kingdom is here with you." Jesus said to his disciples: The time will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not. When people say to you, "Look there," or "Look here," don't go looking for him. The day of the Son of Man will be like lightning flashing across the sky. But first he must suffer terribly and be rejected by the people of today. When the Son of Man comes, things will be just as they were when Noah lived. People were eating, drinking, and getting married right up to the day when Noah went into the big boat. Then the flood came and drowned everyone on earth. When Lot lived, people were also eating and drinking. They were buying, s

Psalm 85 (Good News Translation)   1LORD, you have been merciful to your land; you have made Israel prosperous again. 2You have forgiven your people's sins and pardoned all their wrongs. 3You stopped being angry with them and held back your furious rage. 4Bring us back, O God our savior, and stop being displeased with us! 5Will you be angry with us forever? Will your anger never cease? 6Make us strong again, and we, your people, will praise you. 7Show us your constant love, O LORD, and give us your saving help. 8I am listening to what the LORD God is saying; he promises peace to us, his own people, if we do not go back to our foolish ways. 9Surely he is ready to save those who honor him, and his saving presence will remain in our land. 10Love and faithfulness will meet; righteousness and peace will embrace. 11Human loyalty will reach up from the earth, and God's righteousness will look down from heaven. 12The LORD will make us prosperous, and our land will produce rich harv
