Recognizing Jesus

At the beginning of this chapter, the Pharisees and Sadducees couldn't (wouldn't) recognize Jesus.  A short time later, Jesus asks His disciples who they think He is.  Peter nails it!  And with that, he's honored with position, authority and responsibility like no other.  No one can replace Peter or the Twelve, but we can share in his authority and responsibility.  In fact, we must.  From Matthew 16:13-20.
