A pretty good example of the power of evangelization

In today’s gospel, Andrew and John, two of the disciples get to know Jesus. We see them begin to follow him. Simon Peter is called by way of his brother Andrew. Simon Peter not only becomes a follower, but eventually a leader in the church. In this interaction, Jesus calls Simon “Cephas’ which means Peter. Cephas can also be translated to mean ‘rock’. Peter not only follows Jesus, leads the disciples, but eventually becomes the rock upon which the church is built. This is a pretty good example of the power of evangelization.
