Peter's Epiphany
An epiphany is a sudden, profound moment of realization, insight, or understanding, often described as an "aha moment," where a simple occurrence reveals a deeper meaning or truth, changing one's perspective.
A flash of insight: A moment of sudden clarity or understanding, like a light bulb turning on, where everything suddenly makes sense.
A transformative realization: A discovery that provides a new, deeper perspective on oneself, a problem, or the world, leading to significant change.
When Jesus asks Peter, "Who do you say that I am?"

From our reading in Matthew 16:
Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”
And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it..."
