I have decided to share a 72 day daily challenge with you each day until Easter, April 1st. We are doing this in our Relief Society, and I thought I would like to share it here as well. I shared a little about the challenge here.
Each day I will share the daily video here and then my personal thoughts about it after I have personally watched it. Today is Day 33.
Thou Art the Christ
Peter testifies that Jesus is the Son of God. Jesus declares that He will give the keys of the kingdom to Peter.
Matthew 16:13-19
13 ¶When Jesus came into the coasts of Cæsarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
My Impressions:
My first thought was that there are many people today who fail to recognize that Jesus is the Christ and Savior. They refer to him as a prophet or just a good person who helped people do good things. But the Apostles are living witnesses of Christ. They testify of Him, just as Peter did. They also hold the priesthood keys of heaven. I am so glad we have living Apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ today, here on this earth now. They show us the way to the Savior and testify of Him.
What did you learn from today’s video?
