Matthew 16:17-18 (ESV)
17 And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
If the Father revealed this to Peter, it was through the Holy Spirit, who may have been the rock Jesus referred to on whom the church is built. The gates of hell will not prevail against the presence of the Holy Spirit which will reside in the body of Christ.
It is through Jesus and the Holy Spirit that God is manifest in creation.
