St.+Peter+essay

Faithful :

St. Peter is Jesus' closest friend. He was also Jesus' most trustworthy apostle. Peter was human like us, yet he managed to overcome that, become the first Pope, and carry the keys of Heaven. Overall Peter is God's favorite follower.

Peter was our first pope. And he set the bar for popes as high as it can go. Part of this is because of how faithful he is. Like when Jesus walked on water and Peter walked out to meet him. He could only walk on the water because he believed in God. As soon as he started thinking he was going to sink, he did. Peter is the only person other than Jesus to have walked on water. His brother Andrew was the first apostle chosen by Jesus. Peter soon followed his brothers lead and became one of the first apostles. This means that Peter had been with Jesus since the beginning. He had lived through almost everything Jesus lived through.

Peter was also loyaand trustworthy too. Peter stood by Jesus at all times with few exceptions. Like when he denied Jesus three times. He was even crucified upside down because he thought he was unworthy to have died the same way Jesus did. Peter was also Jesus' most trustworthy apostle. This went both ways, Jesus trusted Peter more than any other apostle and Peter trusted Jesus. Jesus trusted Peter with the keys to Heaven, which is probably the best thing that could happen to someone. A show of Peter's trust for Jesus was when Jesus was walking on water, he then asked Peter to join him on the water, and he did.
