With Peter, Jesus turned the Sea of Galilee into a classroom, and an old boat into a student’s desk. Peter no doubt looked every part the fisherman. He was rough and rugged with the jaws of a fighter and tough leather skin. However, through several encounters recorded in the Gospels, he became a big-hearted individual—a rock with a soft heart. Peter was a son of the sea, and from his encounters with the sea Jesus taught him great lessons, turning him from clay to rock.
