Is Peter the Rock? Hymn Bible Study
Show notes
This hymn Bible study on "The Church's One Foundation" (sung as "The Church Has One Foundation" in the SDA Hymnal) tackles a question many believers have wondered about: when Jesus told Peter "on this rock I will build my church," was Peter Himself the foundation? It's a close scripture behind the hymn look at Matthew 16, 1 Peter 2, and 1 Corinthians 3:11.
We show that Peter and Paul both point away from themselves and toward Christ as the church's true foundation, then widen out to Revelation 12's symbolic woman, tracing the church's persecution, endurance, and ultimate unity through the centuries this hymn describes.
In this episode, you will hear:
- What Jesus meant by "on this rock I will build my church"
- Why Peter and Paul both identify Christ, not Peter, as the foundation
- How Revelation 12's symbolic woman pictures the church across history
- What the hymn's message of endurance means for believers today
