THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
PETER'S CONVERSION AND
CALL.
Sunday, Jan. 6. -John 1:29-42;
Mark 1:14-39.
Golden. Text:
And Jesus said unto them,' Come ye
after Me, and I will make you to be-
come fishers of men. (Mark 1:17.)
Why is it that we often hear the
comment, "Peter was so human?" The
reason is, plain enough. Peter was
impulsive, thoughtless, quick -spoken,
self-confident, boastful; he blundered,
he "rushed in where angels fear to
treacle' he did not hesitate to differ
with the Lord, even to point out mis-
takes he thought He was making.
And finally Peter went down with a
t' r
crash, in one of the most t ea tbreale•
ing denials of Christ in all history.
• Yes, Peter was very human. ''So are
the rest of us, and "misery loves com-
pany." But Peter had a wonderful
Saviour -and so may the rest of us,
if -ne will. That word "finally" in a
sentence above should not really be
there: it was not, by a great deal, the
final incident ire Peter's career, but
there was a glorious "finally" in his
life and experience and ministry.
We • welcome, therefore, three
months' studies of the "Life and Let-
ters of Peter." Let us get to know
him better than we ever have before.
In our first lesson Peter has seven
remarkable experiences in connection
with Christ, Let us get the meaning
of each of these.
John the Baptist had been prepar-
ing then for the -corning of Christ. He
had called upon great multitudes to
turn from their sins, repent, and be
baptized, in readiness for the coming
of some one 'after him --one, said
John, ."whose shoe's latchet I am not
worthy to unloose,"
When Jesus came, John made an
atnaxings statement, the full meaning
of which he, doubtless, could' not com-
prehend; "Behold the Lamb of God,
which taketh away the sin of the
world."
Two of the "followers of John the
Baptist heard his great declaration,
"ancl they followed Jesus."' He re-
ceived them graciously, they visited
hint in his home, and one of these
two, Andrew, the brother of Sinton
Peter, sought out his' brother and
said: "We have found the Messiah,
which is, being interpreted, the
Christ."
That was the first of Peter's great
experiences. He was actually told by
his own brother that the Messiah of
God's chosen people, Israel, for whom
Israel had been looking for almost
2000 years, had
cattle. Could 1C it be
true?
Then Andrew brought Simon ,to
i t
Jesus. He stood face to 'with face w the
Man who was God. That was Peter's
second
great experience,
e.
si li spoke
the Messiah, NSJesus,tt it
And tl, •p
t
Being given a new name by
Lord Jesus Christ, the ':Me-, :1, of
Israel and the Saviour of the world;
was Peter's third great experience,
fiilet let tis not make the mistake
which some have Made, arid ettpttose
that the Lord saw in Peter each 'a.
stalsyart character that Ile expre sLcl
Zeis confidence in hien. by iti:n him
the new nan'ie. Tlius a writer coir Pet -
says that he was "peculiarly fitted.
fvr
his task" of being the leader of:
the apostles, "and Jesusinade no mis-
take in recognizing hien." This state-
ment fails to take into account the.
fact that Jett:r' was another Jacob, or
Moses, or Gideon; chosen by the
Lard as one of "the foolish things
. the weak things : . and things
which are not, to bring to .naught the
things that are." (1 Cor. 1;26-28.) It
was what Christ did for Peter, not
what Peter did for Christ, that made,
the disciple eventually a great man.
Almost a year later. Simon and his
brother Andrew were 'at their fisher-
men's trade, "casting, a net into the
Sea," when the fourth great experi-
ence
xperience came to Simon.The Lord said
to them both. "Come ye after Me,
and T will make you to become fish-
ers of men."
A rather remarkable sentence foie
lows. It describes Peter's fifth ex-
perience. "And straightway they for
soolc their nets, and followed [lime''
Here was an abandonment of their.
life -business to enter upon an entirely
new calling, They did their part; and:
the Lord did his part: He made thein
fishers of men beyond._ their best hop-
es and dreams. a `'
OnSabbath a Ca:ernaurn
a day n
soon after, Peter had his sixth exper-
fence. The Lord was teaching, and
the meeting was interrupted by a de-
mon -possessed man, crying out
against Christ:' "And Jesus rebuked.
him, saying: `Hold thy peace, and
come out of him.' " The unclean spir-
it had to obey, and the man was de-
livered. Peter had 'never seen any-
thing like that before.
On that same Sabbath the Lard
went hone from the synagogue to
the house of Simon and Andrew,
where "Simon's wife's mother lay sick
of a fever." The Lord "came and took
her by the hand, and lifted her up;
and immediately the e fever left her,
and she ministered unto them." An-
other miracle, and in Peter's own.
family.
The sick people of the whole city
were brought to the Lord that Sab-
bath evening, at sunset, and He heal-
ed7 out man
them all and cast de s.
As the Lord rose "a great while be-
fore day" the next morning, and went
apart by Himself "into . a solitary
place, and there prayed," Simon and.
the other disciples sought Him out
and told Hini, "All men seek for
Thee." But the Lord's answer was:
"Let us go into the next towns, that.
I may preach there also: for there-
fore came I forth."
This was Peter's seventh experience
in this lesson; he learned' that His.
Lord had a passion to "seek and save"
all whom He eould reach while He
could reach them: For "the night
cometh, when no man can work."
