ascribed to him the dis tinction of being onextiaordlnary person with a divine connection and divine mission it was not a dif ficult thing for people who held a belief in reincarnation to look upon him as john the baptist elijah or one of the prophets come back from the dead being steeped in the messianic hope that the mes siah would appear in great pomp and power overthrowing the jews earthly enemies and setting up the people they could hardly proclaim him as the lords anointed it re mained for peter although ho must have spoken in some bewilderment out of conflicting messianic concep tions to declare thou art the christ the son of the living god this wos another way of saying thou art the offpromised long- awaited messiah it was then that jesus accepting the great declara tion revealed to his followers the rejection death and resurrection of path of his messiahship that they did not understand was evident in peters kindly and well intended rebuke it was not yet clear to them that the kingdom must come through the suffering servant at titude rather than the glorious and pompous vlctorv of armies and power it seemed necessary for jesus to cmphaslzcv once again the

mitnt going to the cross with all its world wide and eternal sig nificance- the apmllcailen in this age ofr numerous isms and multiple interpretations of christianity this lesson challenges us to self examination we would do well to 1 exumine our faith what do we think of christ in spite of varied opinions our faith such that we with peter can make the tre mendous declaration thou art the christ the son of the living god 2 to see the significance of his vicarious living and vicarious dy ing to grasp themcaning of the suffering servant and the cross 3 to be constantly on our guard lest we like peter momen tarily lose sight of the divine will and purpose and see only the self- centred aims of men 4 to examine our living over against the great condition of dls- cipleship self denial think of this over against our common ten dencies to selfgratification self- commendation self pity selfeval uation and selfassertion 5 to so live that we can behold the glory of christ and hear the voice of god saying this is my be loved son hear him helpful quotations the term the cross gathers to gether every aspect of the unique work god accomplished for us in the life and ministry and death and
