Matthew 16:18 ” I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My Church.”

From the very first moment they met, Jesus called Simon by his new name, Peter…which is Greek for rock. (John 1:42) By doing so, Jesus was assigning, & redefining Simon Peter’s character and destiny…even though at the time, it would be years before he was stable and mature. But after the Resurrection, we see the prophecy fulfilled as Peter becomes one of the most important representative apostles and foundation in the early Church. (Ephesians 2:20) So remember, Jesus will lead us by calling out what He sees in us…even when we can’t see it in ourselves yet.
