Chosen: Matthew 16: 18-19 by ric gustafson
Simon's brother Andrew became an early disciple of Jesus's. Simon was emotional. He told Jesus he cannot wash his feet. Simon was impulsive. He drew his sword and cut off an ear of Malchus. To avoid being arrested, he denied knowing Jesus 3 times.
So why did Jesus call Simon Peter?. The name Peter means ' rock'. Jesus makes us what we are not. Jesus's power changed an unruly fisherman into one of Jesus's inner circle.
Why did Jesus do this?. Jesus accepts us who we are. Jesus knows what we will become.
Jesus loves you and me more than anything else.
