(ANNOUNCEMENTS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE OVER INTERCOM) (ANNOUNCEMENTS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE OVER INTERCOM) CON CAMPBELL: I'VE SPENT MOST
OF MY CAREER STUDYING PAUL AND HIS INFLUENCE
ON CHRISTIANITY. NOW, I'M TURNING TO PETER. I'M TRAVELING TO THE
LAND WHERE HIS FORMATION FROM HUMBLE FISHERMAN TO THE
BISHOP OF ROME TOOK PLACE, AND I'M DISCOVERING FOR MYSELF
THE PLACES HE INFLUENCED. YOU COULD SAY THAT THESE
ARE THE ARMS OF PETER EMBRACING ALL PEOPLE. FOLLOWING HIS PATH OF MOST
UNLIKELY TRANSFORMATION. I'M CON CAMPBELL, AND
I'M IN PURSUIT OF PETER. CON: I'M ON MY WAY TO ROME. ROMA, THE ETERNAL CITY, AND THIS IS MY LAST STOP
IN PURSUIT OF PETER, BECAUSE IT WAS
HIS LAST STOP BEFORE GOING TO
HIS ETERNAL HOME. IT'S NOT THE MOST GLAMOROUS
SHOT OF IT RIGHT HERE, BUT IT GETS BETTER. CON: OF COURSE, PETER WOULD
HAVE WALKED TO ROME, BUT THE TRAIN SUITS
ME JUST FINE. PETER LIVED AND TAUGHT HERE
FOR AS MANY AS 15 YEARS. THE CHURCHES HERE MUST HAVE
BEEN EXCITED TO BE WITH PETER, AN EYEWITNESS OF JESUS'S LIFE. IF I WERE A CHRISTIAN LIVING IN ROME DURING THAT FIRST CENTURY, I'D CERTAINLY BE EXCITED FOR
THIS APOSTLE TO COME TO TOWN. TO HEAR FIRST-HAND ACCOUNTS OF THE TEACHINGS AND
ACTIONS OF JESUS WOULD HAVE GIVEN THE
BELIEVERS HERE RENEWED FAITH. HEARING THE STORIES ABOUT WHAT JESUS SAID, ABOUT THE MIRACLES, AND OF COURSE TO HEAR
FIRST-HAND PETER'S ACCOUNT OF JESUS'S DEATH
AND RESURRECTION. I LIKE THIS PLACE. NO, I REALLY LIKE THIS PLACE. DOMED CATHEDRALS
SURROUNDED BY BUILDINGS THAT FORM A MOSAIC OF COLORS, INTERRUPTED WITH
ICONIC STRUCTURES LIKE THE PANTHEON
AND THE COLOSSEUM. I LOVE THE ARCHING OLD BRIDGES
SPANNING THE TIBER RIVER, AND ALL THE PLAZAS THAT INVITE GATHERING, AMONG OTHER THINGS. CON: I MEAN,
HE'S BETTER THAN ME, BUT HE DIDN'T SEEM THAT GOOD. CON: OKAY, ENOUGH OF THIS. I HAVE A DINNER DATE. (PEOPLE SPEAKING IN
FOREIGN LANGUAGE) CON: I JOIN MY FRIENDS CORRADO
AND FEBE PRIMAVERA, NAMES THAT SOUND LIKE THEY
BELONG TO AN ITALIAN MENU. FEBE: ARE YOU HUNGRY? CON: I AM HUNGRY;
I'M ALWAYS HUNGRY. CORRADO: SHORTLY WE
WILL BE READY CON: EXCELLENT. CORRADO: AND WE WILL TASTE
IF IT'S GOOD OR NOT. CON: YEAH, THANK YOU. FEBE: I JUST PICK UP.
CON: FROM YOUR GARDEN? FEBE: YEAH.
CON: LOVELY, VERY NICE. CON: CORRADO HAS THE HEART
OF A SHEPHERD, LIKE PETER. HE'S A PASTOR IN ROME, TEACHING ABOUT JESUS AND HIS
KINGDOM TO THE LOCAL BELIEVERS. I THINK THAT'S SIMILAR
TO WHY PETER CAME HERE: TO ENCOURAGE THE
FOLLOWERS OF JESUS. CON: IT'S INTERESTING,
AS A PROTESTANT MYSELF, THAT WE TEND TO FAVOR PAUL. THE PERCEPTION IS PETER
BELONGS TO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. WE TEND TO NEGLECT PETER,
I THINK. I KNOW I HAVE, BUT PETER BELONGS TO
EVERYONE, RIGHT? YEAH, HE BELONGS TO US ALL. CORRADO: TO ME,
PETER IS A BEAUTIFUL DISCIPLE. WITH PETER, YOU CAN IDENTIFY, YOU KNOW? HE WAS IMPULSIVE. AND WE ALWAYS MAKES, YOU KNOW, IMPULSIVE DECISION. AND HE MADE MISTAKES;
WE MAKE MISTAKES. AND SO IT'S EASIER, PROBABLY,
TO IDENTIFY WITH PETER. CON: YEAH, I'VE CERTAINLY
FOUND THAT TO BE THE CASE. IN FACT, I'VE FOUND
THAT WITH PETER, THE MORE I'VE FOLLOWED HIM,
THE MORE I FEEL AN AFFINITY WITH HIM, BECAUSE HE'S
A VERY RELATABLE HUMAN. BUT I THINK WHAT'S
GREAT ABOUT ALL THAT WAS ACHIEVED
THROUGH PETER IS, IT SHOWS YOU THAT GOD
CAN DO AMAZING THINGS THROUGH ORDINARY PEOPLE
WHO MAKE MISTAKES. FEBE: WOULD YOU LIKE TO TASTE? CON: OH YEAH, THANK YOU.
CORRADO: OH, THANK YOU. FEBE: TONGUE IS HOT, BECAUSE
I USED A LOT OF CHILI. CON: THAT'S VERY NICE.
FEBE: YOU NEED TO EAT. CON: OKAY.
CORRADO: OKAY. FEBE: MANGIATE! MANGIATE! CON: BUON APPETITO. CON: WHAT DO YOU THINK OF PETER? FEBE: AH... I'M VERY CLOSE TO HIM
BECAUSE I'M IMPULSIVE. (ALL LAUGH) CON: THAT'S GREAT.
FEBE: REALLY. CON: BY THE TIME PETER
MADE IT TO ROME, IT HAD BEEN ABOUT 30 YEARS
SINCE HE FIRST MET JESUS. SO MUCH HAD CHANGED.
WHAT BEGAN SO SMALL AS A JEWISH RELIGIOUS
MOVEMENT IN JERUSALEM HAD SPREAD ACROSS THE EMPIRE
ALL THE WAY TO ITS HEART. BUT DESPITE, OR MAYBE
BECAUSE OF ITS GROWTH, THESE CHRISTIANS WERE
BEING LOOKED AT WITH INCREASING SUSPICION.
THEY WERE A BIT TOO WEIRD. ROMAN CULTURE HAD TWO
PREREQUISITES FOR FITTING IN: WORSHIP ANY OR MANY GODS, FOR FERTILITY, RAIN,
WINE, EVERYTHING; AND SECOND, WORSHIPING
THE EMPEROR AS A GOD. WHAT'S INTERESTING IS,
HE'S IN ROME, HE'S VERY AWARE OF WHAT
KIND OF EMPEROR NERO IS. AND AT THIS STAGE
HE'S BECOME NASTY. HE WASN'T INITIALLY
TROUBLESOME TO CHRISTIANS, BUT HE BECAME SO
AROUND ABOUT AD 64, WHEN HE BLAMED THE GREAT
FIRE IN ROME ON CHRISTIANS. AFTER THAT POINT, THAT WAS
KIND OF A TURNING POINT WHERE HE KIND OF
MORE AGGRESSIVELY BECAME ANTI-CHRISTIAN. AND PETER IS AROUND
FOR THAT. HE SEES THAT. AND YET, IN CHAPTER TWO
OF HIS FIRST LETTER, HE SAYS,
"SUBMIT TO THE EMPEROR." THIS IS AN ASTONISHING
THING TO SAY. "SUBMIT TO THE EMPEROR." NOW YOU HAVE TO
THINK ABOUT THAT BECAUSE HE'S
DESCRIBING BELIEVERS AS ALIENS AND STRANGERS
IN THE WORLD. THEY DON'T BELONG TO THIS WORLD. THIS IS NOT THEIR TRUE HOME. THIS IS NOT WHERE
THEIR ALLEGIANCE IS. SO IT'D BE EASY FOR
CHRISTIANS TO SAY, "SO I CAN JUST
IGNORE THE EMPEROR. "I CAN IGNORE THE RULES.
I CAN IGNORE HUMAN LAWS," AND MANY CHRISTIANS
HAVE KIND OF GONE IN THAT DIRECTION THROUGHOUT HISTORY, BUT IT'S A MISTAKE, BECAUSE PETER SAYS, "LIVE
AS ALIENS AND STRANGERS, "BUT SUBMIT TO THE AUTHORITIES
THAT GOD HAS PLACED OVER YOU, "INCLUDING THE EMPEROR."
AND WHO IS THAT EMPEROR? ONE OF THE WORST EMPERORS
WHO EVER LIVED, A MUCH MORE
TYRANNICAL RULER THAN ANY WESTERN
CHRISTIAN HAS EVER KNOWN, AND HE SAYS SUBMIT TO HIM. IF IT MEANS YOU'RE GONNA
SUFFER FOR IT UNJUSTLY, THEN DO IT, AS CHRIST DID. IT'S NOT LIKE PETER WAS TRYING
TO GET ARRESTED OR KILLED. HE SIMPLY WANTED TO CONTINUE
WHAT JESUS TOLD HIM TO DO: TEACHING, PASTORING,
AND MENTORING BELIEVERS THROUGHOUT THE EMPIRE. AND IT'S LIKELY THAT
DURING THIS TIME, PETER WROTE THE TWO LETTERS IN
THE BIBLE THAT BEAR HIS NAME. THESE WERE HIS FIRST
AND LAST WRITTEN WORDS, THE WORDS OF
A DEVOTED SHEPHERD. AN ANCIENT BRIDGE THAT DATES
TO THE GOLDEN AGE OF ROME STILL SPANS THE TIBER RIVER. IT'S CALLED ST. ANGEL'S BRIDGE. IT NOW STANDS AS A
MONUMENT TO JESUS'S DEATH. 10 ANGELS LINE THE WALK. EACH ONE HOLDS AN ELEMENT
OF THE CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS. ACCORDING TO TRADITION, PETER
WAS CRUCIFIED BY EMPEROR NERO, BUT WE'RE TOLD THAT PETER ASKED
TO BE CRUCIFIED UPSIDE DOWN, BECAUSE HE DIDN'T
FEEL WORTHY TO DIE IN THE SAME MANNER AS JESUS. PETER WASN'T THE ONLY
DISCIPLE TO BE PUT TO DEATH FOR TEACHING ABOUT JESUS. ALL BUT ONE MET
A MARTYR'S DEATH, AND ALL OF THEM FOLLOWED
CHRIST TO THE END. THE BASILICA OF ST. JOHN SEEKS TO HONOR THEIR
FAITH APPROPRIATELY. FOR THESE 12 FOLLOWERS,
JESUS'S STATEMENT WAS CLEAR, "IF ANYONE WANTS TO FOLLOW ME, THEY MUST TAKE UP THEIR CROSS." PETER WROTE TO OTHERS
WHO WERE SUFFERING, TOO. HE SAID, "AFTER YOU'VE
SUFFERED FOR A LITTLE WHILE, "THE GOD OF ALL GRACE,
THE ONE WHO CALLED YOU "INTO HIS ETERNAL GLORY
IN CHRIST JESUS, "WILL HIMSELF RESTORE, EMPOWER, STRENGTHEN, AND ESTABLISH YOU." HE HUMBLED HIMSELF. HE ENTRUSTED HIMSELF TO
THE ONE WHO JUDGES JUSTLY. HE DIDN'T STRIKE
BACK AT THOSE WHO OPPRESSED HIM
AND PERSECUTED HIM. HE IS A MODEL FOR
OTHER BELIEVERS, THAT THEY
LOOK UP TO HIM, THEY'RE INFLUENCED BY HIM, HE
ENCOURAGES THEM IN THE WALK, BECAUSE HE'S BEEN
THROUGH IT ALL, AND HE WANTS TO HELP OTHERS
GET THROUGH IT AS WELL. NO CITY ON EARTH
CELEBRATES PETER'S LIFE, AND MEMORIALIZES HIS
DEATH AS MUCH AS ROME. AND NO PLACE IN ROME
CELEBRATES PETER AS MUCH AS
THE FAMOUS CHURCH APPROPRIATELY NAMED,
ST. PETER'S BASILICA. THERE ARE MANY
WHO CAN EXPLAIN THE HISTORY AND
DESIGN OF ST. PETER'S, BUT FEW ARE BOTH
AS KNOWLEDGEABLE AND PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS
PLACE AS DR. ELIZABETH LEV. WE MET IN THE COLONNADES THAT
FRAME ST. PETER'S SQUARE, WHICH BY THE WAY, IS ONE
OF THOSE ROUND SQUARES. CON: SO LIZ, YOU KNOW, I'M REALLY STRUCK BY THE FACT THAT PETER WAS PUT TO DEATH
BY EMPEROR NERO, AND... 2,000 YEARS LATER IT'S PETER WHO IS ADORED,
AND REVERED, AND HAS A PLACE LIKE
THIS BUILT IN HIS HONOR. AS FAR AS I KNOW, NO ONE
REALLY ADORES NERO ANYMORE. I ASSUME THERE ISN'T,
BUT IS THERE ANYWHERE IN ROME THAT APPROXIMATES ANYTHING LIKE THIS, BUILT IN HONOR OF NERO? ELIZABETH: WHEN IT COMES DOWN
TO PHYSICAL STRUCTURES IN THE CITY OF ROME
THAT REMIND YOU OF NERO, WE HAVE VERY LITTLE. AN UNDERGROUND SPOT
THAT'S ALWAYS BROKEN DOWN, ANOTHER UNDERGROUND SPOT
THAT NO ONE CAN GO VISIT, BUT REALLY, A DARK,
UNDERGROUND STRONGHOLD. WHEREAS LOOK AT THIS BUILDING,
ST. PETER'S BASILICA, THAT TAKES ALL THIS LIGHT. AND THE ULTIMATE IRONY
OF THIS WHOLE AFFAIR IS THAT AT THE END OF THE DAY, NERO CAUSED THE EXECUTION OF ST. PETER OUT OF A REAL ESTATE DEAL. IN 64 AD, A FIRE WENT
UP IN THE CITY OF ROME THAT TOOK OUT 10 OF THE 14
NEIGHBORHOODS OF THE CITY, AND AS NERO'S AGENTS WENT
ABOUT BUYING ALL THE LAND, SO THAT ULTIMATELY
NERO OWNED THREE OUT OF THE
SEVEN HILLS OF ROME, THE ROMANS BEGAN
TO FIGURE OUT IT WAS THE EMPEROR
WHO SET THE FIRE. AND WHEN THEY BASICALLY
SHOWED UP AT HIS HOUSE, WITH SKEWERS AND BARBECUE
SAUCE, "HEY, NERO LIKE FIRE," NERO NEEDED A SCAPEGOAT.
SO WHO DID HE BLAME? THE CHRISTIANS. AND SO
ST. PETER WAS ROUNDED UP WITH THE REST OF
THE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY, AND MOVED INTO THE ONLY
SITE BIG ENOUGH TO HOLD A PUBLIC THAT WOULD
WITNESS THE EXECUTION, THE PRIVATE HORSE-RACING
CIRCUS OF EMPEROR NERO, WHICH IS A MATTER OF STEPS
FROM WHERE WE'RE STANDING. AND HE WAS UNDERNEATH
THE OBELISK WHICH YOU NOW SEE IN
THE MIDDLE OF THE SQUARE, WHERE HE WAS CRUCIFIED
UPSIDE DOWN. AND THEN HIS BODY
WAS TAKEN OVER AND THROWN INTO THIS VERY
SIMPLE HOLE IN THE GROUND. CON: WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THAT? SO HE WAS THROWN IN A PIT RIGHT OVER THERE.
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT? ELIZABETH: WELL, THE ROMANS MADE
ONE OF THE BIGGEST MISTAKES THEY WERE EVER GONNA MAKE.
I MEAN, THINK ABOUT IT. THE ROMANS CAN BUILD A
ROAD FROM HERE TO RUSSIA, AND 30-MILE AQUEDUCTS. THEY DON'T REALLY MAKE MISTAKES. THEY TOOK THAT BODY, THEY THREW
IT INTO A TRENCH ON A HILL, AND COVERED IT WITH SOME DIRT, AND COVERED IT WITH SOME BRICK. TAKIN' OUT THE TRASH.
CON: RIGHT. ELIZABETH: WRONG.
THEY PLANTED A SEED. AND THE HISTORY OF THE
CONSTRUCTION OF THAT BUILDING IS LITERALLY WATCHING
A SEED FIRST FLOWER WITH THE VERY FIRST MONUMENTS
THEY PUT ON PETER'S TOMB. IT WAS A SIMPLE BRICK WALL, PAINTED RED, WITH A MARBLE ALTAR
SHOVED INTO IT. HOW DO WE KNOW? 'CAUSE SOMEONE DESCRIBED
IT IN 200 AD, SO WE HAVE A DESCRIPTION OF THE FIRST MONUMENT ON PETER'S TOMB. CONSTANTINE CAME ALONG, IMPOSED THE LEGALIZATION
OF CHRISTIANITY IN 313, AND HE BUILT A CHURCH TO PETER, ENCLOSING THAT MARBLE ALTAR
INTO A VERY SORT OF A PRECIOUS LITTLE BOX, LIKE
HE MADE A RELIQUARY FOR IT, AND THEN HE BUILT THE CHURCH
IN THE SHAPE OF A CROSS, KEEPING PETER'S TOMB ON
THE CRUX OF THAT CROSS, AND SO THAT BECAME THE
FIRST CHURCH OF ST. PETER, WHICH SAW EVERYTHING. IT SAW CHARLEMAGNE
CROWNED IN 800. IT SAW THE FIRST JUBILEE YEAR WITH 200,000 PILGRIMS, INCLUDING
DANTE, COMING TO VISIT IT. IT'S AN AMAZING CHURCH
WITH AN AMAZING HISTORY. BUT BY 1506 IT WAS
LISTING OFF TO THE SIDE, AND THERE WERE 2X4S
HOLDING IT UP IN THE BACK, WHICH WAS PROBABLY A BAD
METAPHOR FOR THE CHURCH, AND THAT'S WHEN THE CONSTRUCTION
OF THAT BASILICA BEGAN. CON: OKAY, WHEN WAS
IT COMPLETED? ELIZABETH: 120 YEARS LATER. THIS CHURCH TOOK 120 YEARS,
12 ARCHITECTS, 20 POPES, AND THE PROTESTANT REFORMATION, BUT THERE IT STANDS, AND
IT MAKES IT ALL LOOK EASY. CON: YEAH, IT DOES
LOOK QUITE AMAZING. CON: CHURCH-BUILDING
PROGRAMS CAUSING CONFLICT ARE NOTHING NEW, AND THE METHOD USED TO FUND ST. PETER'S IGNITED A DOCTRINAL
CONFLICT THAT LED TO A SPLIT IN THE CHURCH, KNOWN AS
THE PROTESTANT REFORMATION. MARTIN LUTHER,
A CATHOLIC PRIEST, LED THE PROTEST MOVEMENT,
HOPING AT FIRST TO REFORM THE CHURCH, BUT THAT'S
A STORY FOR ANOTHER TIME. DESPITE THE DIFFERENCES, THIS CATHEDRAL REFLECTS
THE DESIRE THAT ABOVE ALL, THAT IN ALL, JESUS IS
THE OBJECT OF WORSHIP. CON: HOW DO PEOPLE REACT
WHEN YOU BRING THEM HERE? ELIZABETH: I THINK ONE OF
THE VERY FIRST THINGS ABOUT THE APPROACH
TO THIS PLACE, AND THIS IS PART
OF THE DESIGNER, GIAN LORENZO BERNINI WAS
THE DESIGNER OF THE SQUARE, WORKING FROM 1655 TO
1667, AND THINK ABOUT IT: YOU'RE BUILDING A SQUARE THAT
HOLDS, WHAT, 175,000 PEOPLE. HOW MANY SQUARES HOLD 175,000
PEOPLE IN THE 17TH CENTURY? SO HE'S CHARTING
COMPLETELY NEW TERRITORY IN GATHERING PEOPLE TOGETHER, AND SO HE HAS TO THINK ABOUT HOW TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER
AND NOT TERRIFY THEM. AND SO HE CREATED THIS
AMAZING SENSE OF SURPRISE. YOU WALK THROUGH A
FOREST OF COLONNADES, AND THEN YOU STEP
INTO THIS LIGHT, AND THE COLONNADE DOESN'T BOX
YOU IN, IT CURVES LIKE ARMS, SO IT BRINGS PEOPLE IN, AND
I THINK PEOPLE FEEL WELCOME. CON: SO IN A WAY, WE COULD SAY
THAT THESE ARE THE ARMS OF PETER EMBRACING ALL PEOPLE. ELIZABETH: ARMS, YES,
IT IS REALLY THE CONCEPT OF BRINGING
EVERYBODY TOGETHER. CON: THAT'S REALLY COOL. CON: IN A WAY,
JESUS'S PARABLE ABOUT A TINY MUSTARD SEED
GROWING TO FULL MATURITY WAS REALIZED IN THIS MAN. PETER HAD BEEN HUMBLED, AND
OVER TIME MARTYRED, AND BURIED, ONLY TO HAVE THIS CHURCH
SPROUT FROM THE GROUND AS A MEMORIAL TO THE
GREAT IMPACT HE HAD. A CHURCH IN WHICH MANY
PEOPLE OF FAITH GATHER, AND REST IN ITS
OUTSTRETCHED ARMS. MILLIONS HAVE PASSED BY, TOUCHING THE WORN BRONZE
FEET OF PETER, PERHAPS PRAYING, OR HOPING,
THAT MOMENT WILL SUSTAIN, OR STRENGTHEN,
OR RENEW THEIR FAITH. MY GUESS IS THAT, LIKE
MOST FOLLOWERS OF JESUS, PETER WOULD FEEL MORE
THAN A BIT UNCOMFORTABLE RECEIVING ALL THIS
ATTENTION AND VENERATION, ESPECIALLY IF OUR
ADMIRATION OF PETER DETRACTS SOMEHOW FROM
HIS ADMIRATION OF CHRIST. THE VENERATION OF PETER
IS AN INTERESTING TESTIMONY TO GOD'S GRACE, IN THAT,
WHO IS THIS GUY PETER? WE TRACED HIM FROM HIS ROOTS, A LITTLE FISHING TOWN IN
BETHSAIDA, IN GALILEE, BACKWATERS OF NOWHERE. AND HE'S A FISHERMAN. HE'S NOT EDUCATED. HE PUTS HIS FOOT IN HIS MOUTH. HE GETS THINGS WRONG. AND YET HE BECOMES ONE OF
THE MOST SIGNIFICANT FIGURES IN THE WHOLE OF HUMAN HISTORY. THERE AREN'T MANY
HISTORICAL FIGURES WHO RIVAL PETER
FOR SIGNIFICANCE. NUMBER ONE, INDISPUTABLY,
IS JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF, BUT THROUGH PETER'S
CONNECTION TO JESUS, PETER BECOMES ENORMOUSLY SIGNIFICANT. FROM A THEOLOGICAL POINT
OF VIEW, WE SEE THAT, WELL, GOD HAS REALLY POWERFULLY
USED AN ORDINARY PERSON TO DO EXTRAORDINARY THINGS, AND THAT TESTIFIES TO HIS POWER, BUT ALSO HIS GRACE. IT'S JUST A GIFT THAT GOD
USED HIM THE WAY THAT HE DID, AND BLESSED SO MANY
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THROUGHOUT 2,000 YEARS
THROUGH PETER. IT'S EXTRAORDINARY. HONESTLY, I NEVER MUCH
WENT IN FOR STUDYING PETER. IT'S NOT THAT I IGNORED HIM, BUT BEING A GOOD PROTESTANT, I MOSTLY PAID
ATTENTION TO PAUL, THE PROLIFIC NEW TESTAMENT
WRITER AND THEOLOGIAN. BUT I'VE LEARNED MUCH FROM THIS
HUMBLE MAN IN THIS PURSUIT. HE'S TAUGHT ME MUCH OF
MY OWN SHORTCOMINGS, AND THE GRACE JESUS
HAS GIVEN ME. AND LIKE PETER,
MY PURSUIT ISN'T REALLY ABOUT FINDING PETER,
IT'S ABOUT FINDING CHRIST. I THINK PETER WOULD
BE HAPPY KNOWING THAT THE MAN I DISCOVERED,
STARTING HERE IN GALILEE, IS INDEED A ROCK, A FAITHFUL
MAN BUILT, AS IT WERE, ON THE PERSON OF JESUS CHRIST. ♪ TAKE COURAGE MY SON
