Yesterday we ended the Gospel of John. Today we embark on the journey through 1 & 2 Peter.
We talked a bit about Peter in the post, "Peter denial let's talk."
to recap, He was to be the foundation of the church.
Peter was the rock/cornerstone whom Jesus said was to build His church.
Peter was Jesus' closest friend and companion.
He is also known as Simon Peter or Cephas.
Jesus changed His name to Peter which means rock.
Peter was a fisherman from Galilean.
He had a brother named Andrew who was also a disciple.
Peter was also a follower of John the Baptist who was Jesus' cousin.
17 And Jesus said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth [shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.” Matthew 16: 17-19
