Matthew 16:18– “And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.”
So, what does it mean to be a “rock”?
We’ve heard the term “rock hard” as pertaining to muscles.
We’ve heard it when talking about someone having steady nerves.
It also means to have resolve and be unmovable.
When Jesus called Peter the “rock,” He gave us a visual picture of the very foundation of a building.
Jesus was beginning to build his church. Not a physical building, but a company of believers. Peter, the “rock” was there to support the others as they spread the “GOOD NEWS.”
Just as Jesus is the foundation of the Christian faith, we need to be prepared to support fellow believers in their daily Christian walk.
Whatever the future brings, His strength will uphold us and together we will be unmovable.
