WhendidChristestablishthegreat 'bondofunity,whichkeepsusallunited? WhendidHemakeSt. PetertherulerofHisChurch,His representative,andHisvicar?When didHecommittohimthetaskof "confirminghisbrethren,"andof "teachingthewholeflock,both sheepandlambs?"Letusbriefly recapitulatethehistory.Thefirst stepintheprocesswaswhen SIMON'SNAMECHANGEDINTO PETERORROCK.

(I)Christchangedhisname."ThouartSimonthesonofJona; but,thoushaltbecalledCephas, whichisinterpretedPeter"(Johni, 42).WhydidChristconferanew nameonSimon?Whyshould-he henceforthbeknownasPeteror Rock? Obviously,ifChristchanged hisnamefromSimontoRock,it wasbecausehewasdestinedtooccupythepositionofarock. The surmisegrowsintoacertainty,so soonaswecalltomindthatChrist wasabouttobuildaChurch.The apostlewrites:-"YouareGod's building(ILCor.iii.9).Nowfora materialbuilding,amaterialfoundationisneeded.IlutHisChurchwas nottobeamaterialbutaspiritual edifice,soitneededaspiritualfoundation,thatistosay,thestable, firm,perseveringfaithofitschief. Then,atalaterperiod,Christspeaks moreexplicitly.Again,addressing thePrinceoftheApostles,Hebegins withthesewords Isacuntothee thatthouartarock,anduponthis rockIwillbuildmyChurch,and thegatesofhellshallnotprevailagainstit."

THEFUNCTIONSOFAROCKIN RELATIONTOABUILDING. Herewefeelthefullforceand meaningofthechangeinSimon's name.TheinfantChurchwastobe builtuponhim.Hewastobeits support;toboldittogether; to keepitfromfallingtopieces,like thehousewhichwasbuiltuponthe sand;andpreventthose"unhappy divisions"complainedofin other Churches.Allthiswastobeaccomplishednotbyvirtueofhisown strength,butsolelyby'theomnipotenceandPowerofGod."Ihave prayedfortheethatth,faith failnot"(LukesxiisS2).Really, someofourseparatedbrethrensaern toforgetthatChristisGod,and thatanythingHedeclaresHewill do,willmostcertainlybedone.it isnomoredifficultforGodtoprotectSt.Peterandhissuccessors throughouttheages,andtosafeguardthemfromerror,inmattersof faith,sothat"theyfailnot,"than itisforHimtogivehearingtothe deaforsighttotheblind.Weknow HeistherockbecauseGodsodeclaredandknowinghimtobethe rockweknowalsothatwecansafelyleanuponhim,andtrusthim,and whenourfaithwavers,ordoubts arisewereferthemattertohim,as .tothe.lawfullyconstitutedauthority andhisdecisionisfinal.Romalocuteest,causafinita.Inhearing himwehearJesusChrist,whose vicegerentbeis,accordingtothe testimonyofGodIncarnate:-"Who hearethyou,hearethme."
