And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Matthew 16:19-20

Greetings in the name of Jesus!

Jesus is the key of David that locks unrepentant sinners out of God’s kingdom. He is also the key that opens the kingdom of heaven to all who, like Peter, believe in him and confess him to be the Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus is a stumbling block to all those who turn a blind eye on Him. He is the colossal block that will eventually fall on them and crush them. But he is also the rock of salvation of all those who turn to him and confess his saving name. They won’t be left waiting outside but will hear Jesus Himself say to them “Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.”
