And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. Matthew 16: 18.. These words are inscribed around the dome of the great Church of St. Peter in Rome, the Popes church. This Church is proud of its eternal nature, its visable victory over the world through the centuries.Our heart neither envys or seeks such glory, but rather, refuses it. But there is a glory, which by any standards, is far greater than this, of which we are sure. Whether the numbers are great or small,whether the members are lowly or high, whether they are weak or strong, if they confess Christ, the victory is theirs throughout all eternity.Do not be afraid, little flock,for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom(Luke 12:32) For where two or three come together in My Name, there am I, with them. (Matthew 18:20) The City of God, remaineth! Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Last Sermon in Berlin, July 23rd, 1933.
