Daily Reflection: Peter’s confession of Jesus as Messiah occurs at a significant place in Biblical geography. Where they stand in Caesarea Philippi is known as the “gates of hell.” Many believe this to be the very place in which the “sons of God” descended upon earth in Genesis 6. Where they stand is the center of the enemy’s work and the power of the darkness over the fallen world. It is interesting that at this moment, at the gates of hell, Jesus asks Peter, “who he is.” As his family, we can be confident that no matter the surrounding, nothing negates the truth that Jesus is our Messiah – our King!
Daily Demonstration: Ponder this question: even amid hell, are you willing to confess Jesus as your King? It’s easy to default into patterns of sin in times of trouble, but Jesus’ compassion for his family will keep you on mission. What are some areas of life that feel like hell right now? Try and speak the truths of Messiah Jesus over those areas – you may be surprised at what such a confession can do! The perfect place to confess some of these matter may be over tonight’s Sabbath meal with your family.

The word “family” can mean many different things to different people. Often, when people speak of family, they mean their blood relatives, specifically those with whom they live. When Christians speak of family, we also refer to God’s family, his ekklesia, or “church.” When we enter God’s kingdom, we become family with one another, forging a bond that transcends blood everything. We are all brought together into God’s family.
