:Peter was not the first to recognize Jesus as Christ (See Luke 2:22-32, ''"Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him. 26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Messiah...'' etc.)
:The paragraph as written suggests that faith is a work or accomplishment on our part, i.e. [[pride]]. Romans 12:3, ''"to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith."''
:Peter was not the great rockstar or hero some make him out to be. He betrayed Jesus when he denied him three times. He showed a distinct lack of faith and misunderstanding of God's work and purpose when he vut the Centurions ear off.
:If there is a "greatest of faith" it would be Abraham (Romans chapter 4 and the Book of Galatians), or Peter would be mentioned in Hebrews chapter 11, and he is not. The paragraph as written teaches nothing about Christ. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|De Plorabus Unum]]</sup> 06:31, 2 February 2020 (EST)
