I. His Name, (.lolm 1 :-TJ). The name which l.e hole when In troduced to Christ was Minion, which mean) "hearing." Rut .leuis gave him a new natiie "Peter," which means "rock." This showed what he was to become. II. His Call. (Joint 1:11, '.!). His brother Andrew brought him to Christ. This brought him Into fellow ship with the Lord. From ordinary dlsclpleshlp he was called to special ministry (I.uke 5:10). From being u lislierninn he was called to catch men. III. Peter's Character. 1. Sincere. What Peter was at hem t could he read on his face. He was free from duplicity. People could understand him. Ik-cause of tlda characteristic they could tell when h was l.ving. Yet even when i'oplt knew lie was In error they could be lieve In hint. He veenis to have heen Ignorant of j,he word "diplomacy." ''. Prompt, lie had the ability to decide and act quickly, as the occa sion demanded. This made him a real leader. His action at the empty tomb was an example of his promptitude. John outran lVter, hut Peter was the first to enter the tomb. When Corne lius sent for him ut Joppa he respond ed without delay. H. Courageous. While Peter played the coward sometimes, ho was for the most part a brave man. No doubt It was through cowardice that he denied the Lord, hut It was his courage that brought him to follow the Lord into the palace of the high priest. 4. Intense. He felt keenly and acted with vigor. Whether right or wrong, what he did he did with all his might. When he preached It was with passion. No liner example of burning eloquence can be found than his Pentecostal sermon. IV. Peter's Confession of Christ (Matt. lU-.l.'MS. Ul-'JII). The disciples had heen with tha Lord heard for sevej-al jears. They had His mighty words and seen Ills mighty works. Various opinions were extant about Him. It was now neces sary for them to have a definite con ception of Him. The Master-Teacher knew the necessity of hnvlng the dis ciples get the right conception of Him self. 1. What It Wjih (t. 10). It Involved His MessIahPhlp "The Christ," and deity "Hon of the living Cod." Thin l the burning question today. Tho.se who have the right conception of Clulst's person and mission have no trouble In the realms of science, philos ophy or ethics. 2. Christ's Commendation (v. 17). He pronounced him blessed. Truly he was blessed, for he both possessed and confessed the Christ. The evidence that Peter was blessed was thnt he wus in spiritual touch with the Father In Hen ven. 8. Peter's Messing (v. 18). Christ declared that he should he the founda tion stone in His church. Christ Is the chief cornerstone on which the church Is built. Christ's person and Messiah ship was confessed by Peter, and on this rock In laid the foundation of apostles and prophets (Kph. 2:20). All believers are living stones of this house (I Peter 1-J). V. Peter's Restoration (John VM :ir IT). Peter grievously sinned In denying the l.ou), but he Hindu n confession, Micihllng bitter tears of penitence over tils win ami lolly. The Lord tenderly dealt with Ills erring disciple and re stored him. In this restoration Ho In ought to Peter's mind the essential qualification for his ministry. Love Is the pre-eminent gift for Christ's serv ile. To Impress this upon hint, he three times asked the question, "Lovest thou me'" Three classes of people vveie to be served: (1) Those be ginning the Chilstlan life "Feed my lambs." CJ) The mature Christians ".Shepherd my sheep." The shepherd needs to pi meet and feed the sheep. Love Is the one essential equipment for l Ids service. CI) The aged Christians- "Feed my sheep." Love Is needed In dealing with the fathers and mothers In Israel. Injuries. Rather wink at small Injuries than to he too forward to avenge them. Ho that to destroy a single bee should throw down the hive, Instead of one enemy, would make a thousand. Trust In the Lord. Trust In the Lord and do good: so shalt thou dwell In the land, and verily thou shalt he fed. Ps. !I7:3. The Student. Don't despair of a student If he Iiun one clear Idea, Kininons. T Y i
