John 1:42. And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona:
"Simon, son of a dove, thy name may point thee out as being timid; mind where thou dost wing thy flight."
John 1:42. Thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, a stone.
Something more solid than the son of a pigeon; something more stable than the son of a dove. Christ changes men’s names, and changes their natures, too. He can make the most fickle of us to become firm and steadfast. Oh, that he would thus work by his grace upon us!
