Do you know who Peter is? Well you're probably asking yourself ,"Who's Peter." If you're wondering he was the first Pope. A Pope is the Bishop of Rome and he is the head of the Catholic church. If you're reading this then you'll probably get a better idea of who Peter is by the end of this.

Peter has several qualities. But I will give you two of the ones I thought were worth mentioning. First thing first He was the most loyal of all the apostles. He was the one that got crucified upside down because he didn't think he was worthy of getting crucified like his Lord Jesus Christ. Second he showed his love to Jesus. In John 21:15 Jesus asked Peter, "Do you love me?" three times. Peter said yes for every time Jesus asked.

Probably the reason why Jesus chose Peter to be the head of his church was because he was the first apostle. Jesus found Peter on a boat and told him to throw the net be Peter said that there are no fish today. Then Jesus touched the water and told him again to throw the net again. When Peter did he caught a lot of fish. After that happened he told Peter to join him. Then Jesus said I will make you a fisher of men.Second I think it's because he showed his love to Jesus the most.

I think a great lesson future Popes could from Peter is to show your love to God as much as he did. Because showing your love and sacrificing things you have certain things for him. Just like the first Commandment, " You should love God above all things." Also be loyal to God. Don't be like some of the other popes that were corrupt with money. Don't care about the money more than him.

Now that I told you a lot about Peter I hope you understand him a lot more than before. Now you know his qualities and the reason why he became the first Pope. We also learned about the lessons future Popes should learn from Peter.I hope you liked my essay about Peter. I hope that you grasped more of an understanding about Peter now.
