PETER'S BOLD CONFESSION.
And Jesus went forth, and his dis-
ciples. They went from Bethsaida,
where Christ had opened the eyes of
the blind man. Into the. village of
Caesarea, Philippi,; This town was in
the extreme north of Palestine, near
the ancient Dan. And on the way
he asked his disciples, saying unto
them, What do men say that i am.
The cross of the world's .redemption
rose clearly before him, as it doubt-
less had through all his ministry. He
roust begin to make its meaning' plain
to his disciples, or they could . not
make it plain to the world.
And they hold him, saying, John
the Baptist. Herod Antipas, the cruel
tyrant who had murdered John, was
one of those 'who saw in the great
work of Christ, vaguely reported to
him, a resurrection of our Lord's
glorious herald. His guilty conscien-
ce was moved by all the news of mir-
aculous events that reached his pal-
ace. And others, ,Elijah. Elijah had
not died, but had been translated to'
heaven in a whilrwind of fire. It
was natural that some should think
that he had returned in the person
of Christ to inaugurate the reign of
righteousness for which he had striv-
en so mightily centuries before. But
others, One of the prophets. The.
answer of the disciples, while it does
not tell us that any held Jesus to be
the Messiah himself, yet shows clear-
ly the tremendous impression which
his ministry had made upon the Jews.
They could compare him to none but
the very greatest men in their coun-
try's history.
And he asked them, But who say
ye that I ani? Becoming a Christian
is for each man a personal experien-
ce, and the most important question
any one has to answer is this "Who
say ye that Jesus is?" Not "Who
does Paul say he is? or Peter or
John or Luther or Wesley or Moody?
but "what is your individual and per-
sonal and final conclusion about Je-
sus Christ?" Peter answereth. Peter
was the leader of the Twelve, the
man of quick action and prompt de-
cision. And said unto hind, Thou art
the Christ. Peter's confession involv-
ed a realization of one personality
embodying two . natures; the Son of
Man the Son of God.
And he charged them that they
should tell no pian of him. They
should not proclaim his Messiahship,
his deity,
THE GLORY OF THE CROSS,
And he began to teach them. It
was a time for instruction. That the
Son of loan must suffer many things.
The disciples still held to their hope
of a material, earthly kingdom for
the Messiah, and of crowns and
thrones for themselves. And be re-
jected by the elders, and the chief
priests, and the scribes. That is, by
the religious leaders of his people.
And be killed. Those dread words
struck down all the disciples' hopes.
And after three days rise again. With
these words Christ's prophesy leaps
out into the light. The resurrection
transformed his death into an exalta-
tion, confirmed his deity, and estab-
lished ,his kingdom.
And he spake' the saying openly.
That is, in plain terms, and not in
parables or indirectly, and in pres-
ence of all, And Petertook him.
Peter was horrified at the very sug-
gestion that the Son of God should
be put to death. And began to re-
buke him. It seems strange indeed
one whom he had just confessed to
be divine, brit the apostle's life is full
of just such contradictions; and in-
deed do riot we also, in our frequent
complaints of the lot assigned us by
Providence, virtually rebuke the Al-
mighty and All -wise?
But he turning about, and seeing
liis disciples. Christ might not have
rebuked Peter's excess of zeal and
astounding boldness if it had beer
just between the two, for: it sprang
from the apostle's' love.;. but he per-
ceived that. the other apostles knew
of it and so, ns he had praised Pet-
er so highly before them,. he must
also condemn him before them:. Re -
bilked. Pett*r, anni r;aitl.i, Get thee be-
hind rue, Satan, Peter had made pre-
cisely the sane appeal to Christ
which the devil had tirade in the wild-
erness
'..
temptation, an appeal to the
heavenly Ways of self-sacrifice and
ignomity. Por thou rniltdest not the
things of Cod, but the things of reel
Reproach bas this one good, tiring
about it, it does not .distract' or semi -
es and make its lose head,
And he called unto hint the multi-'
tude with hk disciples,' Our Lord was
in a lonely region, but even there lee.
was followed by a crowd, who etood
at a distance.
Peter's remonstrance scd glia r
up to preach a sermon to them '-
and to his apostles, as well, and awt':',
the 'least. to Peter. A ;d said (into,
there, 11 .any roan would mine after
me. 'Wound be my true fc,llowcr,
walking in my steps,, Let hiin deny
himself. Nu one who -tries consistent-
ly to be in any sense a follower of
Christ but finds that in some forth
ur other self-denial is 'a necessity of
self-discipline, And take up his cross
and Follow ane. A cross, as has been
well said, is whatever runs across our
selfish will, our worldly ambition. it
ceases to be a cross when our v ill
is laid parallel to the will of the Re-
deemer. As we carry our crosses for
him and with him, they cease in time
to be crosses and become wings that
lift us to heaven.
i For whosoever would save his life
shall lose it. ' The selfish hoarding
of money,. the selfish use of time and
strength, will prove no gain in the
eternalages, but will be discovered
to result in awful, an irreparable, an
'endless loss. This is one of the stern
est warnings in the Bible, a warning
that should be especially heeded by
our self-seeking age. And whosoever
shall lose his lifefor my sake and
the Gospel's shall save it. Love is
the only sound savings -bank. Sacri-
fice is the only safe investment.
For what doth it profit a roan, to
gain the whole world, and forfeit his
life? When Sir Walter Scott had
reachedthe same ,trying hour he
drew Lockhart down to. him and kiss-
ed him, and said, tearfully, "Be good,
my dear, be good. Nothing else
counts when. you come to lie here.'.
Sir Walter Scott had known .much of
gaining the world and of losing it,
and had learned the great lesson that
all other gain and loss is insignificant
' to the gain of the soul.
I For what should a man give in ex -
i change for his life? There is only
:one person in the world whom God
will hold finally accountable for any
given soul, and that one is the man
Ito whom that soul belongs.
1 For whosoever shall be ashamed of,
me and .of my words in this adulter-,'
ous and sinful generation. Christ has;
been speaking of the shame of the,
cross which his disciples' must share,
with him, thus entering into the.
glory of the cross, Tlie son of man
shall be ashamed of him, when he.
cometh in the glory of his Fathers
with the holy angels. The shame e'
the cross is only for a time, the glory
of the cross is for eternity.
