Worth the World
I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.
Matthew 16:18
It was upon a man with a revelation that Jesus chose to build His church. It wasn’t loosely put together, or framed on the first day, as He didn’t even talk about his “ekklesia” before this point. But, something shifted once Peter heard this direct word from God, and Jesus discerned the change in the Spirit, and confirmed Peter in his understanding.
The Kingdom of God can be likened to a treasure hidden in a field, worth selling all for. The Kingdom can be compared with a pearl of great price.
And in the midst of Christ’s Kingdom, He has chosen his called out, ruling body, His church. We are His body on the Earth. As He was in the Earth, so should be the church.
