Jesus called Peter a rock, which upon this rock I will build My Church. Reading through the gospels we see that Peter was a man full of personality. Peter was man of intellect, emotion, and will. These three things make up for a great personality.

Geologist agree that rocks are formed out of a process. They are an exhibition of principle. When Jesus first asked Peter to follow Him, Peter lacked principle or foundation.

Peter asked more questions than any other disciple. His questions were ever full of significance. Questions are always a sign of intellect.

Peter was full of emotion. Many times he cried out in random burst of emotion. Peter “began to rebuke Him”, “And he went out, and wept bitterly,”

Peter was full of will power. When Jesus came and said follow Me, “they immediately left their nets and followed Him.”

Jesus saw something in Peter from the very beginning. He saw what he could become; Jesus made Peter into something he exactly was not. Jesus called Peter to a higher vocation, a fisher of men.
