So as I was about to write about what Jesus said to Peter, “blessed art thou Simon Bar-jona” a thought entered in my mind that led me to go and look up what both the names Simon and Bar-Jona mean. Check this out:
Simon- “he has heard”
Bar- “the son of”
Jonah- “dove”
If you put these names together it would read like this:
“He has heard the son of the dove”
We know that at the baptism of Christ the Holy Spirit descended upon Him as a dove. And the Holy Spirit was the one that made the birth of Christ possible. Which brings me to the point that Jesus was not only speaking to Simon but to all those…
THAT HAVE HEARD, “THE SON OF THE DOVE”…..
Who is this Son of the Dove?
None other than Jesus Christ Himself.
