1. Peter Confessing Christ (Mark
8:27-29).
The time was near at hand when
Christ should make the supreme offer
ing of himself for sins on the cross.
Knowing the tragic experience through
which the disciples would pass be
cause of it, he sought to prepare them
for It by leading them Into the appre
hension of the cardinal doctrines of
the Christian faith such as : . the In
tegrity of his person, atoning death,
resurrection, and second coming.
Peter's confession was provoked by
two questions of Jesus.
3. "Whom do men say that I am?"
Opinions differed, but all recognized
him to be a teacher or a prophet with
more than human authority anil power.
2. "Whom say ye that I am?" i
Jesus persistently claimed to be the
very Son of God. lie would have his
disciples to possess a personal and
experiential knowledge of himself as !
to being God manifest In the flesh.
II. Christ Warning Peter (Luke i
22:31-04).
1. He told him of Satan's desire

He prayed that Peter's faith fail
not. not that he should escape the
8if tings. E
3. Peter's confidence (v. 33). I

listen to Christ's words about the ;

Presumptuous boldness frequently !
leads Into embarrassing positions'. Un
der the taunt of the Jewish maid he
openly denied the Lord.
2. Before the servants and offi
cers (v. 25).
Peter was now warming himself ut .
the enemy's fire. When questioned, he '
denied his relation to the Lord. SeD-1
aratlon from everything that Is op
posed to the Lord Is necessary In order
to have a clear testimony (II Cor.
6:14-18).

third denial, the cock crew, reminding
Peter of Christ's warning (Mark 14 :72).
IV. Peter's Restoration (John
21:15-17).
Peter had thrice denied his Lord.
Therefore, before his reinstatement
In the Lord's service he must thrice
confess his love for Jesus. In this
reinstatement and commission of Peter
Is set forth the motive and nature of
the service which has Christ's ap
proval In all times. Love for Christ,
not primarily love for the sheep,
proves the genuine shepherd.
1. "Feed my lamhs."
The word "feed" as well as "lamhs"
signifies that the worlc here enjoined
is that of nurturing babes in Christ
2. "Feed my sheep."
The word here means to feed, guidp.
correct, and lend the maturer classes
of Christians. It carries with It not
alone responsibility of feeding, hut cor
rective discipline. Failure will In
evitably follow If this be attempted
wltlimit IrivA
3. "Feed my sheep." I
Tills doubtless relates to the care of
aged Christians. The word "feed" re
turns somewhat to the meaning as in
the first Instance where he says.
"Feed my lambs," so that the min
ister's responsibility to care for the
aged Is equivalent to that of the young.
Peter was to express devoilon to
Christ by a martyr's death.

SATURDAY AND MONDAY
Why are Camels welcomed with cheers in any company- a twosome
or a crowd? Because they're mild not flat or tasteless but naturally
mild. They have the marvelous aroma that only choice tobaccos, mel
lowed by golden sunshine, then expertly cured and superbly blended,
can give a cigarette. There's nothing artificial about this delightful
fragrance. No doctoring, no over-processing can produce it. Camel's
refreshing mildness is there from the start.
Swing with the crowd to Camels. Learn the happy difference
between true mildness and insipid flatness. Smoke without fear of
throat-discomfort or after-taste just for pleasure!
