Who then is Apollos? And who is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord has given to each. I planted the seed and Apollos watered it, but God made it grow.
Paul and Apollos said yes to God’s plan to plant and water an everlasting kingdom. Paul says “we are just servants whom through who you believed.” Acts 18:5 and Acts 18:24-28 sets them apart as Servant Leaders who proved Jesus Christ was alive.
Peter aka Cephas lived by the Sea and scripture describes him as being like Jonah who finally says yes to God’s plan…to receive and hold the keys [to the gate] to the kingdom of heaven. People might not see Peter as the foundation stone holding the keys because he denied knowing Jesus 3 times before the Rooster the (greek alektór), crowed. (Matthew 26:33-35).
Peter was an “Ordinary Guy” who loved Jesus. Loving Jesus, Peter came to see the Rooster as his friend, a fellow servant leader in the foundation of the kingdom of heaven. Thus the kingdom of heaven is still growing and crowing because of Ordinary Guys inspired by servant leaders.
