Matthew 16:18-19 NIV And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
Good morning and praise God. I hope you're having a blessed Monday morning. Yesterday I was a fellowship and one of the priest talked about future of them that we are mentoring in life. What will they say about you who was their teacher or mentor? Back to our today's verse. Jesus talks about church. I know many who says Bible does not talk about church and they brag that their church and salvation is at their heart. Maybe that's partly true. Jesus talks about this Church that He will build and will not be overcome by the gates of Hades. Another Word for hades is sheol and refers to the realm of the dead not necessarily hell. The gate that stands between us and Sheol is death. At this moment Jesus knew that before him was death but He didn't fear it the way we do. It is actually for that purpose He came in this world. In fulfilment of this, Jesus Christ died but on third day rose to life with the keys of hades! What does that mean to a believer like you and me? It means that we are unstoppable by even the most feared transition of life, the Church which we are are and belongs to lives forever. Jesus has got the keys so even though Satan may be be at the doors or gates, Jesus has all authority! He is in control! The verses do not end there, Jesus tell us that He will give us the keys to the kingdom of Heaven! Wow the bad is overcome and the good has been given us! To my thinking this key to Heaven is prayer. The book of acts records literal occurrences when some apostles were locked in jail and through prayers miracles happened and the door opened for them. My brother, my sister, I don't know what gates of hades are holding you this morning. I am preaching to you these words of Jesus Christ, be free, take these keys of Heaven and open good things from God your father. On the cross Jesus paid it all for you. You are an over comer because you belong to Jesus Christ who overcame it all for you. Take a moment and talk with Jesus. He is right there reminding you again and again that not even the gates of hades shall overcome you who belong to his Church. God loves you, have a blessed day. Shalom. Shalom.
