The Gospel of Matthew was written to prove to Jews and all who would read it that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of Abraham and the Son of David. Chapter 16 brings his readers to Peter's confession of faith in who Jesus is.
What evidence has been given to demonstrate Jesus is the Son of God? Why are the disciples the first to come to confess who He is?
What is pure confession and what does it mean for us? The world denies who Jesus is. What does this conflict mean and how can we walk in victory against the opposition of the world?
