Revelation, Renaming, and Responsibility
A moment of high significance occurs when Peter acknowledges Jesus as the Christ, leading to his renaming as Rocky signifying the foundation of the church. It is emphasized that the church is built on the proclamation of Jesus as the Son of God. Peter is granted the keys of the kingdom of heaven, symbolizing his role in changing people's destinies. Despite this exalting moment, Peter swiftly transitions to a low point by rebuking Jesus, earning a severe response. Eventually, Peter, along with James and John, is chosen to witness the transfiguration of Jesus, suggesting favoritism, though it is disputed in the narrative.
