****I will show that God was the Rock of the Old Testament salvation and Christ(God's Living Word) is the Rock of our New Testament salvation. Jesus did not say in Matthew 16:16-17 that Peter would be the Rock of His, Jesus’, Church. Christ, the living, creating power of God, Rhema, not Peter is the Rock of our salvation. Christ is our hope of Glory, Col 1:27, not Peter. I want to clear up the confusion which you might have about whether or not Jesus said He would build His Church on Peter? No! Jesus was referring to the Living Word of God, Christ, Who had taught Peter that Jesus was the Christ, the son of God. Jesus goes on to say that we all, you and I, must be personally taught by God's Living Word, Christ, as Peter was in, John 6:45, "It is written in the prophets, 'And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me." Each of us must be taught by the Living Spirit of God, Christ, to come to Jesus for salvation, in the same manner Peter was taught by Jesus’ Father through His Spoken Word, Christ, in Matt 16:16. Christ, the Living Word, in our new heart is the Rock of our salvation, not Peter. We call out to Jesus, God, for salvation, He in return sends His Living Creating Word, Christ, into our hearts to create in us our new hearts, Ezekiel 36:26, "A new heart also will I give you, and a new Spirit(Christ) will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you and heart of flesh. (27) And I will put My Spirit(Christ) within you,.." That is how you receive the new "Born Again heart by His Spirit of Christ creating in you the new heart and putting His Spirit(Christ) into the new heart." Sun @KLRNRadio.com
