Questions are really answers if we ask them correctly because they will point the way to all truth. Even Jesus asked Questions as I do. Questions that no man can explain the answer because they only know in part. Questions that only God The Father have the answer to by The Holy Spirit reveal to us in part. Some questions are silly. Like who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. America is the greatest because it so clearly employ the life of every race. Not that we are perfect or far from it but that we are not afraid to ask life questions of things we don’t understand, along side faith in God. Faith in God whoever really understands that? Or the free will of a man to choose who he will serve. The life of the flesh is in the blood, who can fully answer such a basic question? If we could we couldn’t pay for it. Anyway! enough of that.
“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 who is in heaven.”
Matthew 16:17 ASV
“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 who is in heaven.”

Why was Jesus so happy when Peter Identified Him as Christ, son of the living God? That He would conclude that on revelation between His Father and a man, He would build His church. Was it because of Peter’s confession? Peter did not seem to realize the magnitude of what he was saying. Generally we can identify Jesus in many ways. But to be identified as His church we must know Him as The Christ Son of the living God.
What I have concluded of Peter’s personality trait is, old Pete would have grabbed a shovel and started breaking grounds. Right there in that holy spot. Just as quick as he would reach for his knife and cut the head off anyone who would launch an attack on Jesus. Any such behavior is now a hate crime and a terrorist. I feels weird even saying the word terrorist. Maybe it’s better to refer to it as the ‘T’ Word.
Anyway! Enough of that.
What is man that God is preoccupied with us? Or Jesus that He visits us?
Or, was it that Jesus Himself was rejoice-full to realize that
His father was already working behind the scenes? selecting a body of people exclusively for His (for lack of a better term) wedding day. No one can come to Jesus unless the Father draws them. Now all Christ had to do was to finish His part on the cross. Breaking groundwork for the Holy Spirit, who The Father have already sent.
We can cut the ribbon or smash a bottle of our most expensive champagne on that but God will only recognizes His Son. So would believe that the most dangerous place for a child is in the womb, but that’s all fake news. The safest place for most is in the womb. Life is not easy except where faith makes an exception to cradle us in Christ.
The revelation of who Jesus really is is only the beginning of a journey back to heaven. The workings of The Father Son and Holy Spirit is a conjunction of our salvation. Heaven won’t be the same when we get there because faith in God is a whole new dimension. A pleasure that is pleasing to Almighty God.
If we really knew like Peter came to know, that our soul’s motivation would be to find faith and add the virtues of being like Christ to this world. It is a necessary step in our journey home.
Who do men say that we are? There are many ways to answer that, but who does Christ say that we are? Flesh and blood will never answer correctly. No one can proclaim that Jesus God except by way of the Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:3 Therefore, I want to make it clear to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God ever says, “Yeshua is cursed!” and no one can say, “Yeshua is Lord,” except by the Ruach HaKodesh.
