“Trust in the Lord forever, because in Yah, the Lord, is an everlasting rock!”
Isaiah 26:4
When Jesus decided to call Cephas by his new name Peter, it was more than significant. Peter means rock. The Bible clearly says that God is a Rock.
Rocks are solid and provide the foundation for great buildings. Rocks are the stuff that make mountains. Rocks are used to make roads and rocks can be cut into blocks and are the material for great buildings. The pyramids are made of rocks and the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem is made of rocks.
In the Book of Revelation we are told that our new name is written on a White Rock. Could it be that the White Rock is Jesus Himself? When a girl marries a man she takes on his name. Perhaps the new name we get is the name He gives us because we are the Bride of Christ.
Truly, Jesus is the Rock of Ages!
