Why did Jesus give Peter special spiritual gifts and authority?

∙ 12y ago
In all the biblical accounts of the calling and training of Jesus' disciples, the lists and order of the names of the 12 men are almost identical. In all four Gospels, the first name in these lists is always Peter. From the day that Peter met Jesus, he was singled out by Jesus to be a "rock" of strength for the others. He was a natural born leader and quickly became the spokesman for the whole group. With each rebuke from the Lord for something he said or did, he is teachable and open to correction. After Jesus' resurrection and ascension and the arrival of the Holy Spirit, Peter becomes a key leader and a chief spokesman for the newly forming church in Jerusalem.
