Psalm 129:2

Now I tell you, Peter is your name and on this rock I will build my church; the powers of Hades shall not succeed against it.

I have said all this to you that in me you may have peace; in the world you have trouble, but courage! I have conquered the world.

What can ever part us from Christ's love? Can anguish or calamity or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or the sword?

on every side I am harried but not hemmed in, perplexed but not despairing,

but he failed, and there was no place for them in heaven any longer.
