For the next three months the les
ions center around the apostle Peter.
The aim of the lesson committee
was to acquaint the members of the
Sunday school with the life and writ
ings of Peter.
I. The Conversion of Peter (John
1:3M2).
1. John pointing his disciples to
Jesus (vv. 29-34). Through the testi
mony of John the Baptist his disciples
were brought to Jesus.
2. Two of John's disciples follow
Jesus (vv. 35-37). As a result of the
Baptist's testimony, two of his dis
ciples left him and followed Jesus.
One of these disciples was Andrew (v.
40), and presumably the other was
John. When the Baptist pointed out
Jesus as tne Lamb of God, the long-ex
i pected Messiah, these disciples sought
further acquaintance with Jesus. When
they looked upon Jesus, they were In
duced to follow bim.
3. The two disciples abiding with
Jesus (vv. 38, 39).
a. Jesus' question (v. 38). When
Jesus saw the disciples following, he
kindly Inquired as to their business.
b. The disciples' reply (v. 39). They
answered his question by Inquiring as
to his dwelling place. Their reply
showed, their desire to go apart pri
vately where they could open their
hearts unto him. He Invited them to
his place of abode, where they enjoyed
sweet fellowship with their Master.
4. Andrew bringing Peter to Jesus
(vv. 40-42). The very genius of Chris
tianity is self-propagation. The usual
method Is to begin with those nearest
us, home folks and relatives, and pass
out to ever-widening circles. The dis
ciples who enjoyed fellowship with
Jesus went at once to tell others of the
priceless treasure they had found.
This is always true of the real disciple.
Andrew bringing bis brother Peter is a
beautiful example of brotherly affec
tion, expressing Itself in bringing him
to ChrlsL When Andrew had wit
nessed to Peter about Christ he brought
him to Jesus where he could enjoy per
sonal Intercourse. This was a great
piece of work for Andrew, for Peter
became one of the pillars of the church.
II. The Call of Peter (Mark 1:14
18).
L Jesus preaching in Galilee (vv.
14, 15). The growing opposition to
Jesus moved him to change from
Judaea to Galilee. He accepted the
fate of John the Baptist as foreshad
owing his own death. Observe ? ?
a. What he preached (v. 14). The
Gospel of the Kingdom of God. which
meant the good news of the near ap
proach of the rule of God as predicted
by the prophets.
b. How he preached it (y. 15).
(1) The time Is fulfilled and the
Kingdom of God Is at hand.
This meant that the time had now
come for the appearance of the Mes
siah and the ^establishment of his
Kingdom.
(2) Itepent This meant that the
people should turn around, change
tneir minds and attitude toward Christ,
and accept him as their king.
(3) Believe the Gospel. Then, a9
now, men needed to believe the Gospel
of Christ
2. Jesus called Peter and Andrew
to become fishers of men (vv. 16-18).
Jesus called this pair of brothers for
service In bis kingdom. It la to be
noted that these men had previously
been called to be disciples of Christ
(John 1 :38-42). They are now called
to service. Jesus first calls men to him
for salvation; those who accept that
call have an additional call to service.
Note ?
a. From what they were called (t.
16). They were called from positions
of definite service; they were fishers.
b. To what they were called (v.17).
To be fishers of men. They no doubt - ?

ties which made tbem good fishermen,
namely patience, bravery to face the
Storm and darkness of the night and
perseverance which led them to toil all
night though no fish were caught,
would make them good fishers of men.
c. Their obedience (v. 18). Straight
way they forsook their nets and fol
I lowed him. Obedience meant sacrifice,
painful separation, the giving up of
all business Interests, and the leaving
their father behind.
