WORDs of Saving Grace - not revealed by man
Matthew 16:17 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.
The need for salvation, the power of the cross, the splendor of Heaven, are all unknown to the natural man, until revealed by God's Holy Spirit.
1 Corinthians 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
Jesus specifically asks - "who do you think I am?" this question is still asked through men and women of Christ by the Holy Spirit today and the answer bears our eternal destiny.
Matthew 12:37
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Even those who may read this are pricked in their heart to answer "who do you say Jesus is"?
The devils know who He is...
Luke 4:34
Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.
The winds and seas know who He is...
Mark 4:39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
The thief on the cross knows who He is...
Luke 23:42
And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
Who do you say that Jesus is?
