Matthew 16:18 - And I say to you that you are Peter and upon this rock I will build my church and the powers of death shall not prevail against it.
The thing I especially like about this passage is that the rock that is built upon is part of the foundation; the part that is not shown to the world but rather does the behind the scenes work. I think it is one more way in which Jesus is telling Peter and the disciples and all of us that our own glory is not important. It is the glory of God that is to be proclaimed and shown to the world. Such a different perspective from the world's perspective of "making our mark."
