Yes, Jesus is the Rock. . Isn’t that wonderful

Jesus is indeed the "rock of ages"....but, He Himself designated Peter to be the rock upon which He would build His church....otherwise, what was the point of renaming Simon Bar-Jona...a perfectly good name.

Maybe because He knew Peter was a movable stone and would deny Him three times and wimp out when eating with Jews. Jesus even said "get behind me Satan" to Peter because Peter was being wishy washy.
