Unless God is a moron or thinks we are.. Jesus, as always, was making a point.. and the point was NOT about Peter..

Indeed, the point was why Peter was blessed. Jesus said "Blessed art thou ... for flesh and blood hath not revealed [it] unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven."
God is the Rock, hence the metaphor/nickname for Peter - the first to receive that direct revelation, that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God.

INDEED.

Thanks tons for your many blessings toward me by your many labors hereon and your faithful prayers and encouragements.
