Going from the extreme of the Catholic Church that makes the apostle and disciple Peter into an almost divine being where people kiss the feet of his statue, many are at risk of going towards the other extreme where they deny that God appointed Peter as the main leader of his church after the death of His Son and He regularly appoints heads of His churches to fulfill His purpose. Examining Matthew 16:15-18, it is shown that Jesus had made Peter His successor after recognizing Him as the Christ and His purpose for coming. We see that death would never swallow the entire church, that people would always carry out Christ's will and carry on the true church to represent His will to the world. There are other examples that show that the apostle Peter had great power given to him by God such as healing the sick with his shadow and other disciples deferring to him at councils. This evidence points to God clearly placing people in charge and that it is for our benefit and God's and our work towards delivering His will.
