Everyone is Changed

After Andrew met Jesus, he went and found his brother Simon. Andrew brought Simon to Jesus. Now Jesus made a statement that also turned out to be a prophecy.

He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You shall be called Cephas” (which means Peter). – John 1:42

When Jesus said that Simon would be called Cephas (which means Peter) that was the name that Simon would be known by around the world. For thousands of years, billions of people have called Simon by the name Peter. Think about it. Within seconds of meeting Jesus, Simon’s name and his future were changed - and all of human history pivoted on that name from that moment forward.

Within seconds of meeting Jesus, everyone is changed. I hope you will be changed like Simon called Peter and the Lord will call you by a name you will have for eternity!
