Matthew 17:22-27 - "The Supremacy of the Son"

The gospel writers were inspired to reveal to us the Son of Man that was prophesied in Daniel 7. This morning's passage is a reminder that while He took on flesh and became a man, He retained His divinity and supremacy over all things. No earthly power has authority over Him. Yet, for the sake of the coming kingdom, He was slow to cause unnecessary stumbling blocks as neither should we. Most importantly we must remember the gospel as our foundation. Just as He paid the debt for Peter that He did not owe, His shed blood has paid the ransom for sin we could never afford.
