Matthew 16:18

The very first statement of Jesus about his church is very profound and full of important lessons: 1) the foundation, 2) the builder, 3) the building, 4) the duration; 5) the authority This statement is also the source of much controversy: Is Peter the rock upon which the Lord’s church is built?

Is Peter the “rock” upon which the church is built? Catholics, and some Protestants say, “yes” The reason for this claim is that “Peter” means “rock” and so Peter must be the rock (Jn. 1:42) “Peter” (Gr. petros) is masculine and means “a piece of a stone or rock”; a “pebble or stone” “Rock” (Gr. petra) is feminine and means “a rock ledge, a rock cliff, a rock slab; a bed-rock” (Mt. 7:24)

Is Christ the “rock” upon which the church is built? Christ certainly is the foundation of the church (1 Cor. 3:11; Eph. 2:20) Christ is indeed the “stone” which the builders rejected (Lk. 20:17-18; Acts 4:11-12; Rom. 9:32-33; 1 Pet. 2:4-8) But, the “rock” in this context refers to something else (note: Jesus in this context is an architect, not a foundation)

Is Peter’s confession (more accurately, his revelation) the “rock” upon which the church is built? Yes! The Lord’s church is not built upon the confessions of men (v. 13), but upon the divine revelation of God (v. 17) Note the important connection between verse 16, 17, and 18 (note: the emphasis is not on “Thou art Peter…”, but on “And I also say unto thee…”); this section begins (v. 13) and ends (v. 20) with a discussion of the identity of Jesus

The Lord’s church is built upon the basis (foundation) of Jesus being the Christ the Son of the living God The Lord’s church is built upon the foundation of the identity of Jesus: the Christ, the Son of the living God as declared by the resurrection (Rom. 1:4; Acts 13:37-39; 1 Cor. 15:14-17) Grammatically, contextually, and biblically, the “rock” refers to the identity of Jesus as the Christ

“I” - it was prophesied that Jesus, not man, would be the builder of the his church (Am. 9:11-12; Zech. 6:12-13; Ac. 15:16) “I will…” - Jesus would build his church from a point yet in the future; his church was not present in the days of John the Baptist, but began on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:47) “I will build” – the Lord’s church is like a building (1 Cor. 3:9,14; Eph. 2:20-21; 4:12,16; 1 Pet. 2:5)

“My…” - the Lord’s church belongs to Jesus, not to men, because Jesus bought and built it (Acts 20:28; Rom. 16:16; 1 Pet. 1:18-19; 4:16) “My church” - the Lord’s church (Gr. ekklesia) refers to an assembly of called out, saved people; not a building (Acts 2:47; 4:4; 5:11,14) “My church” (singular) - the Lord’s church is singular in number; not “churches” (1 Cor. 12:13ff; Eph. 1:22-23; 4:4)

The Lord’s church is strong and nothing, including death (Gr. hades; not gehenna or hell, KJV) will prevail against it and keep it from being built (Acts 2:22-36; note especially v.24 and v.31; Rev. 1:13ff) The Lord’s church or kingdom will be everlasting (Dan. 2:44; Heb. 12:28) and death will not prevail against it (Rom. 8:37-39; 1 Cor. 15:55)

“The keys…” – this is an instrument used to open a door and symbolizes authority (Isa. 22:22; Rev. 1:18; 3:7) “The keys of the kingdom” – this is the authority that Peter had in his gospel preaching to save Jews (Acts 2:14ff) and Gentiles (Acts 10:1ff; 15:7) “Bind … loose” – this was the authority that Peter had to forbid (bind) and to allow (loose) on earth what had been bound and loosed in heaven

“Bind … loose” – all the apostles (Mt. 18:18), not just Peter, had this authority “Bind … loose” – the authority to bind and loose had already been settled in heaven(note the future perfect indicative, “shall have already been bound” and “shall already have been loosed”) “Bind … loose” – the authority of the apostles came from the words of Jesus (Jn. 16:13-14; 1 Cor. 2:13; Gal. 1:11-12)

“Upon this rock” - the foundation of the Lord’s church is Jesus’ true identity as the Christ the Son of the living God; not the false claims of men “I will build” - the builder of the church is Jesus and he wants us to be constructed (built up) using his word; not torn down “My church” – the Lord’s church are the saved and they belong to him and are singular in number; not many denominations

“And the gates of Hades…” – the strength and duration of the Lord’s church is forever; not weak and temporary “The keys of the kingdom” – the authority of the Lord’s church rests in the Lord’s representative apostles; not in the words of men today Become a part of the Lord’s church today!
