Peter was radically changed by his first encounter with Jesus when he received a new name (he was formerly Simon) and thus a new identity and sense of purpose. Like Peter, we too can receive our true identity from our heavenly Father and, through the power of the Holy Spirit, become someone who reflects Jesus as the Church and world need us to. (1 Peter 2:1-12; 1 Peter 1:25; John 1:41-42; Matthew 14:28-31; John 6:68; John 18:10; John 18:26; James 1:22; Ephesians 6:17)
