One day Jesus said to His disciples, "I am the bread of life". It created a heart breaking response. Many said, this is hard teaching and they left Him. Leaving Jesus is the easiest option for the losers. Lord asked "you do not want to go away also, do you"? And Peter said "to whom shall we go; you have the words of eternal life, You are the Holy One of God". A number one remembers God eternally when others forget eternity. Jesus is the true God and Eternal Life. Some other day people were talking about Him, some said He is John the Baptist, some said Elijah, but Peter said You are Christ, the Son of the living God. Number one receives a revelation from God. Unless you live the vision, you will fall from your position. In the very next paragraph [Mat16:13-21] Peter rebuked Jesus about Lord's suffering and death to save the world from the consequences of sin. Peter was deserting Christ for a different kind of Gospel. Jesus turned to him and said "Get behind me Satan, you are a stumbling block, you are not setting your mind on God's interests, but mans." A number one should focus on God's purposes and should get deep rooted in Christ, or we may be deceived by the lies of the adversary and will speak as the mouthpiece for evil. A number one uses all his strength to remain in God's word without denying Christ. Prophet Isaiah spoke "Who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? He was despised and forsaken by men. He was the man of sorrows from whom men hide their faces. He was pierced for our transgressions. All of us like sheep gone astray, turned to his own way, but Lord caused the iniquity of us to fall on Him". Peter had a decision and a revelation, to follow Jesus till the death brings a separation. But Peter lost his position as others witnessed the vision of the cross. Friends, don’t be the fallen one, stick to your decision and live the revelation and stand in a position to see the vision??? Jesus looked at Peter when he denied Him, now He is watching us. Amen…VJ Traven
