JESUS. THE SON OF GOD
LESSON TEXT-Mstthew 16:13-17; 17:1-9.
GOLDEN TEXT Whosoever therefore
shall confess me before men. him will I
confess also before my Father which la
In heaven.—Matthew 10:32.
"What think ye of Christ?"
There is a question that every hu
man being must answer. Jesus
asked it (Matt. 22:42), and each of
us makes some kind of reply.
It is the touchstone that tries men,
and churches, organizations and
movements. The answer to it is of
deep importance, for it determines
character, condition, and destiny for
time and eternity.
Jesus, the Christ, the Son of the
living God, is the center of the en
tire lesson.
I. Jesus Confessed (16:13-17).
With His crucifixion now only six
months away, our Lord in prepara
tion for it is about to make a more
definite claim to Messiahship, and
thus to establish the truth in the
minds of His disciples. He therefore
asks this all - important question
about Himself.
First, it is a general query,
"Whom do men say that I am?”
The answer (v. 14) indicates that the
common opinion concerning Christ
was a very high one. He had made
an impression on the people of His
time, and this has been true down
through the ages. Even those who
do not believe on Him admit that
He was "the ideal representative
and guide to humanity,” or the per
son before whom "everyone would
kneel.” But beautiful tributes to His
character and leadership are worse
than meaningless unless they lead
to a personal confession of Him as
Lord and Saviour.
The question becomes personal as
He asks, “Whom do ye say that I
am?” That question no one can es
cape. We cannot refuse to answer.
Neutrality is impossible. Whatever
we do or say, or do not do or say,
is a decision.
Peter’s answer is really the sum
and substance of Christian doctrine.
He recognized Him as the Messiah,
the fulfillment of all Hebrew proph
ecy, and as the Son of the living
God, the Redeemer and Saviour of
men, the One in whom centers all
Christian faith.
11. Jesus Transfigured (17:1-3).
As His amazed disciples looked
on, the eternal, divine glory of the
Son of God could no longer be hid
den by the human body and the
humble garments of our Lord, and
“His face did shine as the sun and
His raiment was white as light.”
They saw their beloved Master
j now for what He really was, the Son
1 of God. The testimony of Peter was
| no longer mere words, although ever
|so blessed. His speech had been
j confirmed by sight and they knew
I their Master as the Lord of glory.
It is essential in both the life
and service of a Christian that he
; clearly understand the truth about
Christ, His person and His work.
When that understanding is tied up
with a personal vision of His glory,
there is assurance and power.
The want of such a vision explains
the lack of zeal for soul-winning, the
ineffectiveness of witness, the un
willingness to suffer or sacrifice for
Christ’s sake. “Where there is no
vision, the people perish” (Prov. 29:
18) for want of a witness concerning
! the Saviour.
HI. Jesus Triumphant (17:4-6).
The crowning point of the trans
figuration came when the voice
spoke out of the bright cloud and
gave not only the Father’s unqual
ified approval of Christ, but also His
command that men should listen to
Him and heed His message of re
demption.
Note how this word of the Father
I completed the transfiguration. In
j itself it might have been likened to
I that which happened to Moses (Ex.
34:29, 30). We say likened to, be
cause the glory which showed forth
in Jesus was from within, not just
a reflected glow.
But the words from heaven pro
vide the conclusive and final wit
ness. They so impressed Peter that
he talked of them ns a cherished
memory and a transforming
power in his life, even when he was
an old man (II Pet. 1:16-18).
How do they impress you? Are you
ready to acknowledge Jesus as the
Christ, the Son of God, and take
Him as your Saviour?
IV. Jesus Only (17:7-9).
Having seen Him in His glory,
they now saw' Him alone. True, the
others had gone, but is there not also
the thought that He, the blessed
God, now filled the vision of their
souls?
Surely we find it right at hand to
make that application to our own
lives. When we really see Him as
He Js, then He fills our vision, and
; when He does that, we have reached
| real satisfaction of life.
“Jesus only” is more than a mot
! to or a theme for a song. It is the
epitome of a life worth while. It
makes one want to ask everyone,
“Do you know Him?” Well, do you?
If not, will you take Him as your
Saviour right now? Christian, will
you let Him fill your life?
