THE HIDDEN CHRIST


::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

"Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God" (Matthew 16:16)

Eventually the revelation of Christ moved Peter to make the bold
confession that "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God." Jesus did
not teach Peter what to say, He merely revealed Himself to Peter. He did
not sit down with His disciples and say, "I am the Christ, the Son of
the Living God. Now repeat that after Me several times, and I will test
you on this in the morning." He did not teach them a catechism or a
rosary or a mantra or a confession, He merely revealed Himself to them as
He in fact is. They made the confession in due course, having
revelation.

The Testimony of Jesus always springs forth from the Revelation of
Christ. If we do not have the Revelation then we cannot have the Testimony.
That is to say, we cannot bear witness of what we have seen and heard
if we have not, in fact, seen or heard anything. We try to get people to
confess in order that they may ATTAIN to something, but true confession
comes forth naturally after they have OBTAINED it.
