St. Peter got it right when he forthrightly declared Jesus of Nazareth to be The Christ, the Son of the Living God (Matthew 16:16). This was a bold assertion of the person of Jesus Christ. So much of what the church teaches about Jesus is directly concerned with his works. Well, praise God for that! However, like Peter, we need to get a precise revelation of the person of Jesus, the wonder of his divine character, which reveals the heart of the Father. This series of forty studies on The Christ, in essence is focused on Jesuss reply to Peter, Flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father in Heaven. This implies the bonding to the very image of Christ that can only happen under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. St. Paul, at the end of 1 Corinthians 2:16, challenges the Christian to have the mind of Christ. Experiencing the person of Jesus Christ, tapping into his very thinking processes, with the help of the Holy Spirit out of the scriptures virtually guarantees that even as we seek to get a grip on the fundamentals of his ministry, we will inevitably discover the man! We need to grow our personal faith in the power and authority of Jesus and the glory of His enthronement at the Fathers right hand!
