What do you Say?

In Kevin Thacker's sermon titled "What do you Say?", the central theological topic addressed is the identity of Jesus Christ as the Son of God, the Messiah, and the necessity of personal affirmation of that identity. Thacker emphasizes the importance of recognizing that there are only two ways to respond to the question of who Christ is: rightly or wrongly. He argues that a correct understanding of Jesus is revealed not through human wisdom, but through divine revelation (Matthew 16:13-17). Specific scripture references, including Peter's confession in Matthew 16:16 and the prophecies from Isaiah and Zechariah, are utilized to assert the fulfillment of Christ's identities and roles. The practical significance of this sermon lies in its call for individuals, especially Christians, to publicly confess their belief in Christ as revealed in Scripture and to understand the implications of that acknowledgment for their lives and faith.

What does the Bible say about who Christ is?

The Bible proclaims that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God (Matthew 16:16).

In Matthew 16:16, Simon Peter declares Jesus as 'the Christ, the Son of the living God.' This confession signifies recognition of Jesus not merely as a great prophet or teacher, but as God incarnate, the promised Messiah foretold in the scriptures. He is the fulfillment of prophecy, being both fully man and fully God. This dual nature is foundational to Christian faith, highlighting His unique role in salvation history as both the prophesied savior and the divine Son of God who possesses the authority to redeem humanity.

Matthew 16:16, Isaiah 7:14, Micah 5:2

How do we know Jesus is the Christ?

We know Jesus is the Christ through revelation from God, as stated by Jesus to Peter (Matthew 16:17).

In Matthew 16:17, Jesus tells Peter that 'flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.' This indicates that understanding who Jesus is transcends mere human reasoning or scholarly pursuit; it is a spiritual revelation granted by God. The acknowledgment of Jesus as the Christ comes through the work of the Holy Spirit, who enlightens our hearts and minds to grasp the truth of His identity as the Savior and Lord. This revelation is fundamental to genuine faith, emphasizing that it is not of our own effort but a gift from God.

Matthew 16:17, John 6:44

Why is it important for Christians to confess Jesus as the Son of God?

Confessing Jesus as the Son of God is vital because it affirms our faith in His divine nature and authority to save (Matthew 16:16).

Confessing Jesus as 'the Christ, the Son of the living God' is crucial for Christians as it addresses the core of our faith. This confession recognizes Jesus' divine nature, His role as the mediator between God and humanity, and affirms His authority to provide salvation. According to John 14:6, Jesus proclaimed, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life.' By acknowledging Him as the Son of God, we align ourselves with the truth of Scripture and embrace the salvation He offers. This confession not only underscores our belief but also has implications for our daily lives as we submit to His lordship.

Matthew 16:16, John 14:6, Romans 10:9

What does it mean to say Jesus is God in human flesh?

Saying Jesus is God in human flesh affirms His incarnation and perfect union of divine and human natures (John 1:14).

The statement that Jesus is God in human flesh emphasizes the mystery of the Incarnation, where the eternal Word became flesh (John 1:14). This means that in Jesus, we see the full expression of God's nature and character, blended perfectly with human nature. As both God and man, He is able to mediate our relationship with God while fully experiencing human life. This is significant for our understanding of redemption, as it affirms that only someone who is fully divine could bear the weight of our sins and enact the plan of salvation. His unique nature qualifies Him to be our Redeemer and High Priest, making His sacrifice effective for those who believe.

John 1:14, Hebrews 4:15

Back with you again. If you will be turning to Matthew chapter 16. Matthew 16. Friend of mine told me years ago we have to define our terms. So we could say something, a word, and it's well, what do you mean by that? Because you may mean something but completely different than what I mean. And that goes for people, too. There was one time I was at work years ago.

Me and Kim had just started dating. And I was sitting there talking to another NCO there in the Army. And he said, yeah, I know this girl Kim Prather. And I said, I know Kim Prather, too. He said, yeah, she's about this tall. I said, uh-huh, blonde hair, yeah, real blue eyes, oh, yeah, drives a little green car. I said, yeah, yeah, that's the same person.

I know who you're talking about. And then he had not nice things to say. He said, boy, she's mean, and this and that, and horrible things. And I said, we're not getting along right now, buddy. I just started dating this lady, and I like her real well. And then he showed me, he said, well, I got a picture of her. And he showed me a picture, and it was not, it was Kim Brather, not Kimberly Brather.

Completely different person. What do you think of Christ? Everybody has an opinion. Man has an opinion, and believers, know the Lord. We have something to say about him too. And it might sound completely alike. I've talked to people before and they said, oh yeah, I know the Lord. And there'll be so many things we agree upon. And in the end, it's not the same person. It's not. And I want to know him. To know him is life. I want you to know him. I want my children and your children to know him. So what do you say? What do you say about him? Here in Matthew 16, look at verse 13.

When Jesus came into the coast of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, whom do men say that I, the Son of Man, am? And they said, some say that thou art John the Baptist, some, Elias, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

That's the most important question that'll ever be asked. What do you think of Christ? Who do you say He is? What are you committed to and you utterly believe in your mind and your heart? Who is He? Who do you say that He is? Well, He's some guy. He's a person. He's a good prophet, a good role model. He's God. He's our Lord and our God. There's only two answers. There could be a thousand answers, but there's two categories. There's right and there's wrong. There's truth and there's error. It's one or the other. Two totally different answers here in this passage.

What the mind of the flesh thinks and what that new mind in us That new creation knows and loves. It's not just a fact that, well, OK, this is accurate. I can do deductive reasoning. I can look at this book and I say, yes, this makes all the check. No, I'm happy about this. Thy God reigneth. And I give you comfort. Whatever is happening today, this is what God purpose. That's right, it's good. But there's what the mind thinks, a figment of the imagination that just suits the flesh, makes us content and happy. And then it's the Christ, the Savior in human flesh, God in human flesh. Here in verse 13, it says, when Jesus came into the coast of Caesarea Philippi, that's about 30 miles away from the Sea of Galilee, He got them off to their self.

Not by the big crowds, just in a simple place with simple people and a simple question. So then he asked his disciples saying, whom do men say that I, the son of man, am? I, the son of man, that's important. What does the world think of Christ? Throughout the scriptures you can see people mock the Lord and there Calvary comes to mind. He saved others he himself he cannot save and spitting on him. making that crown of thorns and mocking him. What a shame. But though that's drastic, to be dismissive is mocking too. Not because of what you're doing, because of who it is, who this involves.

The thoughts of the common person, that's what the Lord said, who do men say that I am? And you know, nothing's changed from then until now. He didn't ask what was the thought specifically of the Herodians or the Sadducees, no, who do men? Who do men say that I am? Nothing's changed from then, those claiming to be religious or Christians, and today.

They say, verse 14, some say they are John the Baptist, some Elias, and others Jeremias, or one of the prophets. When I read that answer, I thought of four things that come to mind. All four of those things listed there, the three prophets and then the generalized term, Oh, you're a prophet.

It's a good thing, man of God. It all sounds honorable, doesn't it? To the ear, to the naked ear, it sounds like, if someone came to you and said, you remind me of Elijah. You remind me of Moses. The flesh would say, well, I guess you kind of do, don't it? I did pretty good back there. That seems like praise, doesn't it? It seems honorable.

Those are high opinions. but it's not high enough for the Son of Man. That's God Almighty. We might think that's a con. That's an insult. He's the one that sent them, that made them, that equipped them. He's the message that they brought. Some say one thing, some say this, some say that, maybe one of the prophets.

That's all different, isn't it? What do men say? Everybody has an opinion. Everybody's got something different to say. That's what heresy is. The literal translation, heresy is opinion. But what do you think? It's different. Said of old, many years ago, a man said, error is always multiple choice. The truth is singular. It's simple. It's plain. It's one man wide.

Another thing from this comment, those are men that's risen from the dead. They were great and they were in the past. And if it's John of Adzari, at this point. But John came back, or Elias came back, Jeremiah came back from the dead. Somebody comes back. But it's still a man. Just a man. That'd be impressive. I'd like to talk to somebody raised from the dead, wouldn't you? Lazarus. Could you imagine him giving you comfort? Lazarus, I'm on my deathbed. I've been there. Yeah. Let me tell you what's going to happen. That'd be a comfort, wouldn't it? That'd be impressive.

That's still just a man. And all these opinions, All these answers of who they say natural man says that Christ is, it's all wrong. It's all false. It seems high, but it's not high enough. It's coming from a corrupt heart. It's what man thinks. These saints that are listed here, these prophets, they're not much more than men, are they? And that's the problem. That's where the problem lies.

Most people don't mind having a little bit of help. They don't mind having some good counsel from a wise person, but to be completely and totally saved, apart from your opinion on the matter, and to be ruled by a king, they have no desire on that. I don't like somebody telling me what to do.

Every section of my life, I'm sure what happened when I hit 50. When I turned 30, I thought, all right, people will take me seriously. They'll want my advice. And then I turned 30, nothing happened. And then I turned 40, and I thought, okay, well, I'm a grownup. Surely somebody's gonna have to care about what I have to say.

They didn't. I can guess, at 50 they might take my, no, I don't think so. But we don't want that, do we? People don't want, they'll take a little bit of counsel, a little bit of help, but we want to do it ourselves. They want a God like them. That's what the Lord told us in Luke 19, gave us that That parable, he said, they will not have this man to reign on them. He said, who am I, the son of man? He is a human. He's the God-man. But mankind don't want another man reigning over them. But that's man's thoughts.

I like to think that God is X, Y, Z. I hear that a bunch. Oh, I think God's this, and I think God's that. The Lord said, my thoughts are not your thoughts. Neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways. and my thoughts than your thoughts.

He ain't like a man that he would lie. He's different. This is God we're speaking of. I'm often asked to, people find out, I don't like telling people I'm a preacher. But as soon as I say that, they say, my faith's real strong. I didn't ask. That's just between you and the Lord. I didn't even know that. But they'll say, what's your interpretation of this passage? It don't matter what my interpretation is. It makes no difference what I think. What does God say? That's what matters. I want to know what he says.

Peter told us that later in life he wrote his epistles and he said, knowing that first that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation for the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man. These Elias and Jeremiah didn't make this stuff up. The holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. Man's thoughts aren't worthy. It matters what the Lord says. What am I alluding to? Man has no good thoughts. We come into this world spiritually dead and we're hamstringed because we breathe physically, we think we're spiritually alive. Well, I can figure this out. Surely I can know this.

All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, death by sin, so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned. That first Adam came, he fell, we fell in him as our representative, and then we fell on our own willingly. People say, well, that ain't fair. Christ is our second Adam. He's our representative. People say, well, I don't like that man raining over me. With that, it not being fair falling in Adam as a representative. People don't like representation.

If there was a billionaire, you found out it was your uncle, and you're the only relative, it's like, oh, hey, good news, here's a couple billion dollars. Well, that's fine, I'm rich in him. If it involves money or something earthly, we can understand those things. We fell in Adam, I fell in myself, it's my fault. I'm of his kind, but boy, aren't you thankful for that headship of Christ, that union with him, that representation by him.

Natural man would say Jesus was a good example or a prophet or not much better than a man. What do disciples say? That's what we used to think. That's what everybody walking up down the streets thinks, all these things. Look here at verse 15. Here's what the believer thinks of Christ. And he saith unto them, but whom say ye that I am? That is one-on-one. That's not an opinion. That's not, what's your systematic theology? He says you. You. What do you think? Jared, what do you think? That's what the Lord's asking. You. Peter answered and said, thou art the Christ. the son of the living God. That's a short, direct, accurate answer of who Jesus of Nazareth is. Peter speaks for the group here, and he declares the truth. He's representative of the group. And this portion of scripture is often called, if you've got a heading there in your text, Peter's confession of faith. But what's a confession? You just tell the truth. You just report what's happened, what is, right?

He says, you are the Christ. The Christ, not a Christ, or that's just your name. You're the one prophesied of old. You're him. You're Emmanuel. You're the son of the living God. You're God with us. Right here on this earth. The Messiah prophesied of the promised one, God Almighty. He says, the Christ, who is that? That was first mentioned in Genesis three. The seed of woman. This is the one promised from the beginning. From the beginning. That's how he's the son of man and the seed of woman. And the son of God. That's a beautiful thing.

I was in biology class at college and they said there's mitochondrial DNA and we all know everybody's heard about DNA, but this stuff's in the mitochondria in the powerhouse and it only comes from the mother. You only get this from your mom and you can trace that all the way back to one woman. And they said, why do you think that is? They shouldn't have gave me the floor.

I said, well, Christ is 100% man. He has body of conviction, and he's 100% God. That's wonderful. It's miraculous. And they said, you talk like that again, you ain't coming back in this class. I thought it was beautiful. He's a seated woman. He crushed that serpent. That virgin's birth was declared the scriptures. This is the one prophesied of old. Isaiah 7, therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign. Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son and shall call his name Immanuel. This is him. That's what Peter's saying. You're that one.

You are God come into flesh, Immanuel. The scriptures declared where he'd be born. It said, Thou Bethlehem Ephrathah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler of Israel, whose going forth have been from old from everlasting. This is the eternal, the self-existent one is going to manifest in the flesh. And right here is where he's going to do it. And Peter said, that's you. That's where you were born. You told us you was going to do it, and then you did it. That's godlike.

I can say I'm going to be in College Grove this morning. And then I saw my watch and the time change. I thought, well, I'm going to be late. And I may make it here. I may not. That car may stop running. I may have a heart attack. I don't know. But the Lord, if he says this is what I'm going to do, take it to the bank. He's going to do it. You can rest. Go eat a ham sandwich. Calm down. The Lord said he's going to do it. It's going to come to pass. It's going to happen. Lord said he's going to be a king riding in on a donkey. Zechariah 9, Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion. Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem. Behold, thy king cometh unto thee. That's good news.

How is he going to come? He is just and having salvation, lowly and riding upon an ass and upon a colt, the foal of an ass. And then he did. And then he did. It hadn't happened yet in this, what's taking place here in our text, but he's going to be sold for 30 pieces of silver. In Zechariah 11, so they weighed for my price, 30 pieces of silver. And then what happened on the cross? Like they took a playbook and said, what do we do next? We're going to part his garments, we're going to cast lots on him.

Why? Why did all that take place, culminated in that hour, the hour there on the cross, right? Because he was that lamb slain before the foundation of the world. that ram caught in a thicket, God Jehovah Jireh, the Lord will provide himself the lamb. There he was, that crown of thorns and that thicket to be the substitute from the beginning. He's glorified in that. He gets all the glory. There's no pats on the back for man. We're just the byproduct of him honoring his father and receiving all the glory for him. It's just somebody get mad at that and don't love him.

Does that make you happy? What about you, what do you say? Does that make you happy or does that make you mad? The Christ, God himself manifested in the body. Our master dealt with some self-righteous people, religion-y people. They'd come and question him, and they wanted to slay him, and they said, you blaspheme God, and you've worked on the Sabbath. What's wrong with you? Healed a man on the Sabbath. I can't believe that. That man healed wasn't upset, was he? And he said, you have not his word abiding in you. For whom hath sent him you believe not?

Search the scriptures. He said, go read your Bibles. They had them. They had the Old Testament. For in them you think ye have eternal life, and they are they which testify of me. Every example, every picture, every type throughout the whole Old Testament, this is, that's what Peter's saying. You're him. This isn't a good way to live your life and raise your children. You are the Christ. He said in John 10, I am my father alone.

He was the word, the word was with God, the word was God. and he was made flesh and dwelt among us." What a thought. With that trinity, God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, I was told when I was a child, don't deny that just because you can't explain it. And that's good worldly advice, you know that? I can't explain in great detail how antibiotics work. But if I got an infection, I take them. I just take them and thank the doctor and go on about my day and get better.

So this is God manifest in a body. That's what Peter's saying. What does that mean? He's the God of creation. This is the one that controls the elements. He walks on water, he tells the storms to stop and they stop. Whatever he says does, that's what it does. For by him were all things created that are in heaven and in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones or dominions or principalities or powers, systems of government. Whatever it is, ideas, all things were created by Him and for Him. And He's before all things, and by Him, all things consist.

Go outside and look at a tree. God's making that tree be alive right now. What do you say about that? That's what the Lord's asking. What do you say? We know He's the God of providence. He's completely sovereign in all things, and he makes come to pass what he wants.

He asked Job, and I always thought of this, do you know the storehouses I have of ice to turn a battle? Like, you see a war going on, and you're like, what are we going to do? How are they going to win? I've got a warehouse full of snow I can go to, and I'll make that stop. Do you have that? Have you seen it?

Job said, God thundereth marvelously with his voice. Great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend. For he saith to the snow, be thou on the earth, likewise to the small rain and the great rain in his strength. The Lord makes it rain. He makes it snow. He sent an ice storm this year. He made ice come down. Folks say, well, that's just natural things. That's just weather. We don't think much of it. You can't do it.

God can. He's a God of creation. Scripture says he moves a cloud over here and he makes a dark cloud go over there, and it is turned round about by his counsels that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the faces of the earth. He causeth it to come, whether for correction or for his land or for mercy. The Lord can control a storm for mercy.

I gotta remember that. If I'm out walking the mail at my job and it starts raining and hailing real hard, that's be Lord's mercy on me. Thank you, Lord. How are we supposed to respond to that? You know what it says in Job 37, the next verse? Hearken unto this, O Job, stand still and consider the wondrous works of God. That's what Peter's saying. Who do you say that I am? He said, this is you, right there. I'm considering your wondrous works and your mercy and your grace.

And how that mercy and truth met together, Cal, he didn't understand that yet, but he's going to. If humans had any sense at all, they would just stand back and say, what a God. Just in awe. That former king, he knew something about being a king, Nebuchadnezzar.

He said, all the inhabitants of the earth are repeated as nothing. And he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth. And none can stay his hand or say unto him, what doest thou? Nobody can question him. And what do you say to that? What do you say?

He turns the king's heart. What's our president doing right now? Anything Christ is pleased for him to do that honors him and honors the Father. He's doing exactly what our Lord is pleased for him to do. Does that give you peace? What do you say? Oh, that's okay. My phone's gonna go bink here in a little bit and I'll see a news alert. I forget, I need a reminder. That's why I said they rehearse these things. Tell it over and over and over again. I need that.

Short while after this text here takes place, Peter's going to preach and he says, therefore, let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God hath made that same Jesus whom you crucified. Both Lord and Christ. This is our Lord, our king, God of creation, he's the God of providence, and you know what I'm going to say next. He's a God of salvation. He is. I'll keep that one short.

The Lord said you'll have no sign but the sign of Jonah to some Pharisees one time, didn't he? What was that sign of Jonah? Jonah was on a ship and the storm came and those sailors, those commercial sailors, professional sailors were on there and they were scared and they were praying to everybody's God and you pray to that one and you pray to yours and something's wrong.

And they're like, we're missing somebody. There's a man named Jonah asleep down in the bottom of the ship. And they said, what are you doing? Wake up. Pray to your God. They said, where are you coming from? What's your job? And he said, I'm in Hebrew. He said, I worship God. He makes the seas. He makes the dry land.

And then he told them why he was there, what happened. And they said, how are we going to get out of this mess? One, why did you disobey God? Why was you heading to Tarsus? And he said, pick me up and throw me in the sea. They didn't handcuff him and say, we're gonna try it and see if we throw you in the sea and this works. Willingly, with a willing heart, Jonah said, I'll lay down my life for you and there'll be peace for you.

That's a sign of the Christ standing right in front of Peter. And what happened? For three days and three nights, he's in the belly of the whale, in the darkness. And then he cries out, salvation's of the Lord. And the Lord spake unto the fish and it vomited out John on the dry land. It was over. It was over.

Salvation's of the Lord. What does that mean? Exactly what it says it means. Any aspect of salvation. Mankind is unsaved. For them to be saved, it's of the Lord. The whole disposing mirror. That means he gets all the glory. He gets 100% of the credit for saving anybody.

What do you say to that? What do you say? That's what Peter's saying. That's a short statement, though, isn't it? You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. That means you are everything. You are all, all. If you confess he is who he says he is, The Christ, the son of the living God, the Lord in human flesh, our propitiation, our accepted blood sacrifice, the atonement he's made at one minute. The Lord has nothing to be mad at us. The father has nothing to be mad at me anymore because of him, because of what he did, because of who he is. And I have, I wouldn't have it any other way. He's altogether lovely.

What makes me different if I believe that? If you believe that, what makes you different? Look here, verse 17. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. Those are very simple statements that I've made. And it's simple things I've quoted from the scripture. But for somebody to believe that, That's to be blessed. That's to be blessed. Does that make us better people?

What did he call Simon? Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jonah. That's son of Jonah's. His daddy was a fisherman. He was a fisherman, and he said, Simon the fisherman. It reminded him, didn't it? There's a lot of names that stuck to people in the scriptures, didn't they? The what on the cross? Thief. We don't even know his name. Rahab the harlot. That's rough, isn't it? Rahab the prostitute. That's how she's known throughout scripture. Great faith that she had. Blind Bartimaeus. Why would the Lord say that? Simon Bar-Jonas.

He said, you're blessed, but you're still in this flesh. You still got a long way to go. You still gotta be in this life for a while. Lest we forget who we are. That's gracious, isn't it? For flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father, which is in heaven. There's a movement of revelation going around. The gospel's revealed, and the Father doesn't. It's the work of the Father. The Holy Spirit comes, abounds towards his people, and you see Christ, you say, this is the Christ.

This is him, and I love him. I love him. Why do we love him? He first loved us. He said so, and I believe that too. But the Lord reveals this, and natural man thinks, well, I could sit down. Mordecai Ham did this in the 1800s. He sold everything he owned, bought a cabin, filled it full of books, and he read for six months. And he came out and said, I know God. I don't think so. It's going to be through the preaching of the gospel. Why? Couldn't the Lord save somebody another way?

Absolutely. He could do it whatever he wanted to. But this is how he said he's going to do it. And nobody's going to stand up here and say, I'm worthless. Here's the one that is all worth. praise him, bow to him, kiss the son lest he be angry. He's worthy of praise. And this is, he is who he says he is.

And the spirit of God works and reveals it in people's hearts. That is, that's what that says. You've read scripture. I do this every now and then. And somebody preaches, and you've read that scripture a hundred times. And somebody preaches and they say, make a comment. And you say, how long has it said that? Has it always been worded that way? That's precious, isn't it? It's been revealed to you. It's been revealed. The Father's revealed it.

A man preached it to him. There's a man standing in flesh and blood in front of him telling him this right now. A man preached it to you. A man preached it to me. I think, I don't know, but the first message I remember remembering, Maurice Montgomery came through Ashland on a Wednesday night and preached, and it was out of Daniel 4, Nebuchadnezzar. And Maurice wasn't talking to me that night. God spoke to me. And I said, that's right. God's right. I've been wrong this whole time. I've been accurate. I was wrong.

That's who the Lord is. You are the Christ. You're God. You live up to your name. Well, did Maurice do that to me? The Father was pleased to reveal himself to me. And he's in heaven, isn't he? Much like Jonah, I relate to him so much. I see so much of myself in him and thankful for brother Jonah.

But the man does not matter. His past doesn't matter. What he's going through right now doesn't matter. If he's sin of God, the message is what matters. The message. And for somebody to believe, it's so simple. For someone to believe what God says, it's the work of God and it's miraculous. And you're blessed. Blessed. What kind of car you drive? Who cares? What kind of mortgage rate am I going to get? It doesn't matter.

God sent his son for me and revealed himself. He said, if a man's born of glory, let him glory in this, that he knows and understands me. The devils know him. Remember those ones in the legion? They said, you're the son of God. You come to torture us now? Just let us go in these pigs. And then he'd run them off a cliff.

They know that. We understand him. What do we understand about him? Everything he says. And his glory in it. His holiness. And that's what Peter was saying. You're the Christ. You're the holy one. The holy. Those seraphims didn't cover their eyes and cover their feet and fly around and say, love, love, love. Holy, holy, holy. This is him. What do you say? If you say he is who he says he is, through his scripture, what he says about himself, you're blessed. You're blessed. I hope that was a blessing to you. Let's pray together.
