Peter Made Two Confessions The confession in Caesarea of Philippi (Matthew 16:13-18). The confession in Capernaum (John 6:66-69).

John 6:66 “…from that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more.”

Why Did They Stop Following Jesus?

Lessons From Peter’s Confession

We Can Learn About Peter’s Devotion The person of his devotion – Jesus The persistency of his devotion The practice of his devotion

We Can Learn About Peter’s Doctrine Jesus as God (John 6:66; John 1:1; Col. 2:9; John 10:30-33) Jesus as Messiah (Acts 2:36) Jesus as Savior (Matt. 1:21; John 14:6; 10:10; Heb. 5:8; Acts 4:12

We Can Learn About Peter’s Dogmatism We must speak with certainty! If we’re going to be dogmatic about something, let us be dogmatic about: a) The Deity of Jesus, b) the unique nature of His church, not churches and c) God’s plan of salvation

We Can Learn About Peter’s Delight Peter delighted in the Word of God. We must delight in the Word of God too (Psalm 1:1-3). We must show we are delighted in the Word by reading it (1 Tim. 4:13), by studying it (2 Tim. 2:15), by meditating on it (1 Tim. 4:15) and by practicing it (Jas. 1:22; cf. John 13:17; Luke 17:10).
