Points to Ponder
On many occasions, Jesus asks his disciples not to tell anyone that he is the Son of God, the Messiah. Why might that be? The only reason I can imagine is that he’s saying every one of us has to come to that knowledge for ourselves.
We can’t let someone else do our spiritual homework for us, but many of us do. We Catholics let the pope, bishops, and priests give us all the answers and then we just parrot them back. Has there been any experience of it ourselves? Often, the answer is ‘usually not.’ Many Christians believe what we’re supposed to believe. But here Jesus says, ‘Who do you say that I am?’ What have you experienced? What have you personally discovered? What knowledge do you have?
This passage is most often used to preach the primacy of the papacy since Jesus tells Peter, ‘You are the rock upon which I will build my church.’ That’s true, but a couple chapters later Jesus says the identical thing to the whole community: ‘Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven. What you loose on earth, will be loosed in heaven’ (Matthew 18:18).
Jesus is not only talking about the pope; he’s talking about the people of God, all of us. Peter as the symbolic leader has to do it first, but then we all participate in passing on the message.
