Matthew 18: 16 Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." 17 Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven. 18 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.Matthew 27:62-66

62 The next day, that is, after the day of Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate 63 and said, “Sir, we remember how that impostor said, while he was still alive, ‘After three days I will rise.’ 64 Therefore order the tomb to be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples go and steal him away and tell the people, ‘He has risen from the dead,’ and the last fraud will be worse than the first.” 65 Pilate said to them, “You have a guard of soldiers. Go, make it as secure as you can.” 66 So they went and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone and setting a guard.
2,000 years later people still double guess the Lord. Last year false claims were made Jesus' tomb was found and His wife and child. This week false claims were made Jesus was not the child of the Holy Spirit, but His mother was a rape victim. If Pilate and the Pharisees could not keep the stone in place & the resurrection from becoming God's salvation gift to us through Jesus Christ, why don't we marvel daily that the Lord said that Peter would be the rock the church would be built upon and this continues for 2,000 years?
