Now when Jesus looked at him, He said, You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas (which is translated, A Stone). John 1:42 Jesus saw not only who Simon was, but who he would become. That is why he gave him a new name Cephas in Aramaic, Peter in Greek (the name means a rock). Peter became a solid rock in the days of the early church, by giving Simon a new name, Jesus introduced a change in character. In Genesis 17:5 God changed Abrams name to Abraham (father of many) shortly before the promised son was conceived. God is omnipresent - he is present everywhere. God knows your name. God has a purpose for each Christian, if God has not given you a specific call or assignment, then seek to fulfill the mission common to all believers - to love, obey, and serve God - until his guidance becomes more clear.
