Article: Peter’s Authority: More Solid than a Rock
"The hottest part of
hell is reserved for those who having
examined God's precious stone disallow it.
Those who having seen God's precious Son
slight him and reject the Lord Jesus
Christ." ~ Adrian Rogers

Mt 10:20-24

Life on the Rock

Response to comment [from a "Christian"]: "And here I thought Peters confession was the rock..."
Peter was the first
Rocky.
"You can build on him (1 Cor. 10:4) or
stumble on him (1 Pet. 2:8). He'll be a
stepping stone (Ps 18:2) or stumbling stone
(1 Cor 1:23, Luke 20:18)."

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "There can't be two Rocks of salvation..."
To whom coming, as
unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of
men, but chosen of God, and precious [1 Pet.
2:4].
"“To whom coming as unto a living stone.” We
don’t come to a little Babe in Bethlehem; we
come as little babes to a living stone. The
living stone is Christ. After the confession
of Simon Peter, the Lord Jesus said, “… upon
this rock I will build my church …” (Matt.
16:18). Simon Peter makes it very clear here
that the living stone is not himself but
that the living stone is Jesus Christ.
Jesus again refers to Himself as a stone in
Matthew 21:42, 44: “Jesus saith unto them,
Did ye never read in the scriptures, The
stone which the builders rejected, the same
is become the head of the corner: this is
the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in
our eyes?” This is a quotation from Psalm
118. Now, speaking of Himself He says, “And
whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be
broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it
will grind him to powder.”
Christ Jesus is that foundation stone of the
church. He is that stone today. Paul writes,
“For other foundation can no man lay than
that is laid, which is Jesus Christ” (1 Cor.
3:11). When you come as a sinner and fall on
that stone, you are broken. However, in your
brokenness that stone becomes a foundation
for you, and that is your salvation.
However, if you reject that stone, you are
not through with the stone. Daniel, in his
vision, saw a “stone was cut out without
hands, which smote the image upon his feet”
(see Dan. 2:34). That is the stone of
judgment which will come to smite the earth.
This stone symbolizes Christ. He also will
be the stone of judgment to this earth. What
a picture of the Lord Jesus is given to us
here!" McGee, J. V. (1991). Thru the Bible
