PETER’S CONVERSION
Lesson Text:
John 1: 30-42; Mark 1: 4-18.
Golden Text: And Jesus said unto
tnem come after me and 1 will
make you to become fisJici's of
men.
We begin this quarter with the life
of Peter. A study of his character
has an almost universal interest for
us. His human traits have striking
likenesses to those of ourselves. He
stood out conspkiously for his very
plainness. He is a magnificent ex
ample of what the grace of God will
do for man. Today we stuuy tne con
version of Peter. The lesson it-vt
gives us some valuable insigwt into
the life of Peter and also into the
life of his brother, Andrew. The call
and conversion of Peter was also ex
perienced by Andrew. They were
partners in ohristian experiences as
well as partners in the nshii g busi
ness before their conversion which
was carried on on the sea of Galilee.
Peter and Andrew were with John
when they saw Jesus walking along
and said “behold the lamb ot God!"
John designated Jesus as the lamb
of God a second time. John had said
that he whom he had designated as
the lamb of God was to come after
him (John). He also said that the
lamb of God was greater than he. So
this second recognition of Jesus by
John brought has disciples face to
face with their own attitude toward
Jesus. They were co: fronted with the
question of remaining disciples ol
John or of becoming the disciples of
Jesus. It is a significant fact though
that they followed Jesus. No higher
complimeSt could be paid John the
Baptist than that he, the forerunner
had achieved his greatest goal when
his own followers became the follow
ers of Jesus.
The Call to Discipleahip
John the Baptist was preaching at
Bethany beyond the Jordan, where
he had received a delegation from
the sanhedrin and had declared Jesus
as the Messiah. When on the next
day he told the two disciples to “be
hold the lamb of God”. They tihen
followed Jesus. When Jesus saw that
they were following him me inquired
of them as to what was their motive.
He asked them if they really desired
what he had to give. They then in
quired of Jesus where he was stay
ing. Jesus invited them to where he
was staying. They accepted 1 the in-

vitation and it was one never to be
forgotten by them. From taut mem
orable visit on, they know that Jesus
was' the Messiah. When Andrew had
made his marvelous discovery tlhe
first thing he did was to find his
brother Simon and to invpurt to him
the grand good news of wihat he hud
discovered, namely, that Jesus wus
und is the Christ. It is very likely
that Simon listened to Andrew with
hesitation but he consented to be
brought to Jesus, and from the wist
ful look of Jesus when Peter saw him
was enough to dispel any doubt in
the mind of sinners.
Connecting This Lesson with Life
Peter was a weak ami blundering
fisherman. Under the teaching of
Jesus I’eter became us dependable as
a solid rock. Peter’s life is an un
mistakable monument as to what the
power of God will do for u human
life. Peter the fisherman, did not be
come Peter, the rock, in a single day.
Jesus said, “Thou art . . . thou shalt
become ..." It was a long road to
travel before this .prediction became
true. Peter's strong manhood “was
slow in coming’’ but when the fruit
was ripe it was of the choicest. So
there is hope for every one who will
put his trust in Jesus as their per
sonal Lord and Saviour. He can take
the most unlikely men and make of
them the very best of disciples. It is
possible the rapid 1 changes in the life
of Peter from the simple fisherman
Simon, to one of the greatest of
Jesus’ apostles. He came to justify
the promise of Jesus only after se
vere testing by satan. Wihen Peter
did change it was a real change and
the change strengthened his breth
ren. Simon appealed to the heart of
Jesus in an especial way and he
touches our hearts today with the
note of reality in spite of all the
legends gathered around ihim.
Christ’s hope of Simon’s usefulness
finally came true. Thus we see there
I is hope for us all. As we enter upon
I a three-months study of the life
and letters of Peter the aim is that
we may become familiar with the
life of Peter and what he contributed
to Christianity and that we may be
come so familiar with part of the
scripture as to clinoh our loyalty to
Jesus We study today the confession
of Peter. He was converted under
the preaching of John the Baptist
about the year A. D. 27, on the
banks cf the river Jordan. The next
year after his conversion he was
called to the ministry in the vicinity
of the lake at Capernium.
A Citizen of Galilee
Of the early life of Peter we kno-.v
but little. We know that he had a
family. His wife and motiher-in-law
are .mentioned in the scriptures and
it is very likely that the little child
that Jesus took upon his knee was
Peter’s. He was probably a native of
Bethsadia and later moved to Ca
pernium and engaged in' the trade ol
a fisherman in partnership with his
brother Andrew. He and Andrew in
partnership with their father, Zebu-
dee, formed a fishing .partnership in
the fishing- business that was the
most flourishing of the sea of Gali
lee. He would, we think, have owned
his own home, boats and nets. Peter
was as a fisherman ignorant and u i-
learned. This means that he had not
even gone to the schools that existed
at that time. There were two lan
guages spoken where he lived, Greek
ar.d Armanic. Doubtless he could
speak both of them. He must have
read the scriptures in the original
Hebrew. So we see he made go-.I
use of his time and became informed.
Very likely he had strict training in
the synagogue of the town. This was
all that his education, brought him
from an unlearned, ignorant fisher
man to a good education in religious
matters. He was raised a strict Jew
and as such he must have had in his
heart hope of a Messiah so was ready
to accept the authenticity of the
Messiahsnip of Jesus when he came.
He kept in touch with all the re
ligious movements of the day. This
is evinced by the fact that he and his
brother made long trips from their
homes to the Jordan to attend upon
the preaching of John the Baptist.
A Disciple of John the Baptist
John the Baptist made his advent
into the wilderness of Judea and an
nounced the advent of the Messiah.
Hr was a new Elijah calling the peo
ple to repentance. He baptized all
who fulfilled the requirements. As
wus to be expected the whole country
was aroused. There was even a dele
gation from the sanhedrin sent to
question John the Baptist.
The sanhedrin delegation wanted
to know if he was the Christ. He told
them that he was not the Messiah,
and for them to watch and wait for
his coming. John preached in various
places, but most of it was done^ on
the banks of the lower Jordan. There
was in this vicinity and on the near
by mountains a semi-tropical vegeta
tion. It was to this wilderness that
the Galileans came to hear the great
preacher .proclaim Jesus as the
.Messiah. Jesus had been prophesied
by John a short time previous to this.
After his baptism Jesus plunged into
the wilderness and was tempted of
the devil and came out victorious
over him. He then returned to the
spot where he was baptized. He was
standing firmly upon the teachings of
John. When Jesus came from the
wilderness John was standing and
with him were two of his most loyal
disciples. Imagine for yourself the
] feeling of John when Jesus came in
to sight. He gazed upon him but
there is r.o record that he said any
thing to him. It is probable that he
was too far away for him to speak
to Jesus. The greatest hour in John’s
whole ministry had now arrived. Be
fore him was the Messiah. He whom
he had identified by baptism, and
further proof was the descent of the
holy spirit upon him, with the Heav
enly Father’s approval. Can we
imagine the elation of John when he
beheld the Master? He made the
same statement to the two disciples
with him that he made previous to
thf?, “behold the lamb of God.” Jesus
had become and is the Lamb of God
