One of the landmarks in London is a life-size statue of Lord Nelson, who was a hero of the British navy. But there was a problem with that statue. The statue of Lord Nelson was put on top of such a high pillar that from the ground you could barely make the statue out. And so they decided to make an exact replica of the statue and put that replica down at ground level. Jesus tells Peter that Peter could not have comprehended who Jesus was unless God had taken the initiative to reveal Jesus' identity to him. Otherwise Jesus' identity would have forever remained obscure to him.
