What This Sermon Covers
From Matthew 16 and Matthew 21, the message centers on Christ’s question, “Who do you say that I am?” First, the sermon emphasizes the great question, showing that Jesus is not ultimately asking for public opinion, family tradition, or secondhand religion, but for a personal confession of faith. Second, it highlights the great answer Peter gave: “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God,” declaring Jesus as Savior, Son of God, and the only hope for lost sinners. Third, the message points to Christ’s great response, showing that true understanding of who Jesus is comes by divine revelation and that because He is the risen Christ, believers have direct access to God through Him. Fourth, it reveals the great foundation, making clear that Christ builds His church upon the truth of who He is, not upon human strength, personality, or religious tradition. Finally, the sermon ties Palm Sunday to the coming crucifixion by contrasting the cries of “Hosanna” with “Let him be crucified,” pressing the truth that sin still rejects Christ, while genuine faith receives Him, builds life upon Him, and confesses Him openly. The message ends with a clear Gospel appeal, calling every listener to know Jesus Christ personally as Lord and Savior.
