Jesus the Saviour is greater than John
the Baptist (Matthew 14:1-12). Jesus does more than providing physical
food. He is the Bread of Life (Matthew 14:13-21). Jesus has power over
nature (Matthew 14:22-36) - because He is "the Son of God, Look, the
Lamb" (Matthew 14:33). We look beyond John to Jesus. John pointed away
from himself to Jesus, "the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the
world" (John 1:29). Jesus is our Saviour. Let us praise Him for all
that He is, all that He has done for us and all that He has given to us.
"Be careful! Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees!" (Matthew 17:6),. even after there us divine revelation (Matthew 16:17), the influence of evil can be felt (Matthew 16:23), The warning - "Be careful! Watch out ... !" must never be forgotten. Satan is looking for an opportunity to leads us away from the Lord. We must hear what Jesus is saying to us about discipleship (Matthew 16:24), and we must commit ourselves to Him (Matthew 16:25). There is nothing more important than this (Matthew 16:26). If we are to be true followers of Jesus, we must learn to live our lives in the light of eternity (Matthew 16:27). We are to seek revelations of God's eternal Kingdom, revelations which will send us back, from the mountain-top, to live each day for Jesus.
