Pope+EssayPM

Have you ever heard of peter? Well if you haven't heard of him, Peter was a saint, one of the twelve apostles, the leader of the apostles, the first pope,and Jesus' favorite apostles...so we hear. Peter along with his brother Andrew was a fisherman. He was the son of Zebedee. As you know humans were born with original sin. What makes a human and their personality are the strengths and weaknesses or even their good actions and flaws. Peter of course had flaws because he was a human. Peter denied Jesus three times, and Jesus knew he would. Peter denied him three different times, for different situations. When someone confronted him about being a follower of Jesus, being with Jesus, and being a disciple of Jesus. Peter wasn't just a bad man, he had a passion and eventually he became closer and closer to Jesus because, every time Jesus made a miracle Peter got more fascinated in him. Because of this peter wanted to become a follower and disciple of Christ even more. Which is why he became a pope of the roman church and the head of the apostles.

Peter was a lot of things, but one thing we as Catholics admire of him is that, he is a leader. He is a leader of a lot of different things. One of them were he led the apostles to success, and didn't let Jesus down.Even though he denied Jesus he still never stop believing in Jesus.When Jesus asked him to do something he did it, no questions asked just went out and did it, and that is why he is a leader. This is how Catholics should be on a daily basics. Peter is a coward, he couldn't man up to say he was with the messiah.Peter instead denied him,three different times, because he couldn't face the consequence or the bad talking that they were gonna say about him.Any man who wants to be a follower of Christ would not deny him, instead he would be proud to say he was with him or yes he was seen with him.In this case peter couldn't do that, peter was scared of what maybe might happen if he told what really happen.Which is why he denied Jesus. Because of this peter is a coward.

Jesus had chosen peter, because peter had something in him that Jesus admired.Also peter was an understanding and was that kind that did not give up. No matter how hard or impossible he thought is was he stuck to it till it got done. Thats what kind of pope we need, a pope who doesn't lose hope, a pope who makes mistakes but learns from them, and lastly a pope who truly believe in the messiah Jesus Christ. This is the reason why Jesus chose peter to be the first roman catholic pope.

The lesson you can learn today from this is that you must believe in yourself and trust others.You must believe in Jesus and know that he is with you.You must not follow others or feel afraid of what others might think of you.Never doubt yourself or say you cant do something.God made man for a reason and it was not just to do it.He had a plan for us when we came into the world and thats why were here, to make his plan come true.

Now do you see why peter was so important and why he was chosen pope.Peter wwas alot of things, but he was not a giver upper.He is someone who we can look up to and so can all the other popes.Which is why he is so important.
