I believe Peter to be the most humble but the most human. Through out history he see that sometimes his old self gets in the way of learning what Christ and God wants for him. His great desire to do what is needed and to learn the ways of Christ is always first and most desired but he sometimes lose sight of heaven wants to focus on the world more. Today's lesson on Peter. So I already know he is one of the orginal apostle and his birth name is Simon. He has a brother who also is an apostle named Andrew. Which in my opinion says alot about his parents who must have been spiritual people. He had a job, which we know all the apostles had different jobs or careers. He was a fisherman with Andrew. It was Andrew who was the younger brother who lead them to Christ. In John 1:42 its states that Simon is the son of Joha, and this is where Christ changes his name to Cephan. Which in Aramaci which means Rock which then to Greek mean Petro then to english means Peter.
Wife? I wonder I found in Matthew 8:14 it talks about Jesus was invited to Peter's home and he (Christ) saw that Petet's wife's mother laid, and sick with fever. And Christ touched her hand and she was healed. Then others in the area went forth and brought their sick and he healed them.
So there is my lessons on Peter for the day. I found that teaching I have been taught my whole life is what the apostles lived even then. Stay close to your family, marriage is important, follow the Savior and the teachings of my parents. So on to tomorrow.
