Peter’s response of “The Christ of God” shows how the scriptures will be fulfilled and that Jesus was truly the Christ, being of God. Knowing this was revealed to them, Jesus asks them to not tell others at this time.

There are times when we are also knowing of his love and want to tell others of it, when we must keep it to ourselves so that God’s work in others can be revealed to them personally.

Gospel Lk 9:18-22
