CONCLUSION:
Simon’s interview with Jesus changed his life.
It also gave him a new name—Peter in the Greek, Cephas in the Aramaic that Jesus spoke—both of which mean “a rock.”
It took a great deal of work for Jesus to transform weak Simon into a rock, but He did it!
“Thou art … thou shalt be” is a great encouragement to all who trust Christ.
Truly, He gives us the “power to become” (John 1:12).
It is worth noting that Andrew and John trusted Christ through the faithful preaching of John the Baptist.
Peter and James came to Christ because of the compassionate personal work of their brothers.
Later on, Jesus would win Philip personally; and then Philip would witness to Nathanael and bring him to Jesus.
Each man’s experience is different, because God uses various means to bring sinners to the Saviour.
The important thing is that we trust Christ and then seek to bring others to Him.
