 si Simon bago maging tigasin.

• Mt.14- walking on the water
• Mt. 26- denial of Peter
• Mt. 16- prediction of Christ' death

Si Jesus ang tunay na Bato.

• This solid, immovable “rock”, is always and only Christ.“Wara nin ibang pundasyon na ikakabutang kundi an saro na ibinutang na, warang iba kundi si Jesu Cristo (1 Cor 3:11).

• marani kamo saiya, buhay na gapo, isinikwal nin mga tawo alagad sa mata nin Dios pinili na mahalaga.  (1Pt. 2:4)

•  

Si Simon naging Bato

• Ika GAPO. asin sa gapong iyan papatindugon ko an sakong simbahan.
• Peter as building stone:  the stone of which Jesus speaks, is the faith professed by Peter. This faith constitutes the foundation of the church, which keeps it united with Christ-rock, makes it indestructible and allows it to never be overwhelmed by the forces of evil. (tigasin)

• gates of hell will not prevail: Nothing ever—ensures Jesus—can prevent the church to complete her work of salvation, provided that she is always closely united to him, the Son of the living God. 
• key- manager of the house. authority to give or deny access to the palace.(first reading)
• loosing and binding: after that confession of faith, peter holds the key which opens the door of and gives access to salvation to those who confessed the same faith and exclude those whom refuse the faith.
• All those who, like Peter and with Peter profess this faith, are inserted, as living stones, in the spiritual building designed by God.: "
• kamo mismo, parehas kan mga gapo, magpatukdok kamo na maging espiritwal na harong na magiging banal na kapadian na madulot nin mag espiritwal na sacrificio na akong gayo nin Dios huli ki Jesu Cristo. "(1Pt. 2:4-6)

II. Ang mga Bagong Tigasin

• persecuted Christians in Iraq and Syria: 
• options: convert, leave, pay high tax, or be killed.
• thousands were already mercilessly killed, beheaded, shoot... old as well as infants.
• they are new martyrs of faith.
• kami pinapatios nin gayo alagad dai na dudunot, nawawraan nin mabibirikan alagad dire nawaraan nin pakakadtuan, pinipersiger alagad dai pinapabayaan, binabadag alagad dai na raraot. danay asin minsan saen dinadars mi sa hawak an pagkagadan ni Jesus tanganing an buhay ni Jesus ikapahiling sa samong hawak. (2 Cor. 4:9)

III. Peter as model

• tigasin o matibay- di dahil sa kun ano an kaya ta himuon (magpahibi nin bayi, mag padalagan sin motor na makaskas, pira na kaya ta u uson na arak)
• di dahil kun pira an igwa kita. (yaman, kapangyarihan impluwensya o nene)
• di dahil kun sino kita ( bata kita ni mayor, senador, artista o kun sino pa na pontio pilato)

• kundi dahil sa pag pahayag nato kan pagtubod ni Pedro kay Jesu Cristo, bilang mesiyas an Aki nin Dios na Buhay.
