THE APOSTLES : M.M.NINAN
SIMON BAR JONA
Peter is portrayed in the bible was a rash, outspoken and impulsive man bent on doing things as
he saw fit without resoning out its consequences. Neverthless he did what is
needed immediately without hesistation. He had a definite rebellious streak that posed hard to
tame and willing to take risk. He was what we will always remember as an ardent activist who
despite oppositions and problems dared to do it all inspite of them.
Peter had the peculiar characteristics of being impetuous on occasions and that tended to get him
in trouble almost all the time. He seemed uncomfortable when an a courageous statement was
needed and he would speak up when others hesitated. In the midst of all this vacilating situations,
Jesus encouraged him and reinstated him as part of His Eternal Purpose.
