Before he could assimilate anything, the Lord said to him that he would be called Cephas which, when translated, would mean Peter, John 1.42. That little association grew into a covenant-type mentor mentee relationship laeter. Peter became seasoned in his faith, so much so that he went to the extent of telling, in the presence of his co- disciples, that he would be willing to die for Him, rather than disowning him, Matt.26.35. Though at times he was capricious, the Lord did not give up on him. Seeing him through all disappointments, He established him as a pillar in the Church.
