Summary
Dimitrios Panagopoulos traces the Apostle Peter’s weakness and transformation through John 1:29, 1:35-39, Matthew 16:13-23, Luke 22:21-35, and Acts 5:1-11. Peter’s calling begins when Andrew brings Simon to Christ after John the Baptist names Jesus the Lamb of God, and Christ renames him Cephas as a prophecy of future steadfastness. At Caesarea Philippi, Peter’s confession is treated as the rock on which the Church is founded, not Peter’s person, rejecting papal primacy. His rebuke of Christ, Christ’s prayer for him, the threefold denial, and the resurrection appearance to Peter show both the reality of free will and the saving purpose of intercession for the fallen.
