*INTRODUCTION*
* *
#. *When you look at the twelve DISCIPLES you will find just average, ordinary folk*
#.
Folk like you and me
#.
Folks, like us, who had their GOOD days of FAITH
#.
Folks, like us, who had their BAD days of FAITH
* *
#. *Peter certainly manifests both characteristics*
#.
He was the most prominent of the twelve
#.
His name was always listed FIRST
#.
He was without doubt the most OUTSPOKEN of all
#.
He lived in Capernaum
i.
Located on the north end of the Sea of Galilee
#.
He worked with his brother in the ‘fishing’ business
#.
He was married
i.
There are 3 references to his mother-in-law (Mt 8:14, Mk 1:30 & Luke 4:38)
#.
He was a DISCIPLE of Christ * *
#. *What is Peter’s MOST prominent trait?
His FAULTS*
#.
Yet Peter was used in a mighty way #.
Why? Like King David, Peter quickly his sins
#.
Peter was a GREAT disciple of Christ
#.
Peter’s life shows us what WE must do if we are to be Christ’s Disciple
*FIRST: LIKE PETER WE GOT TO LET GO OF OUR ‘NETS’*
* *
#. *When we FIRST read of Peter he is called ‘Simon’*
#.
Simon lived in Capernaum but now was way down south of Capernaum - in Bethany – just west of the Dead Sea
#.
Why is Simon down there?
i.
He and his brother Andrew were followers of John the Baptist
ii.
That was WHERE John the Baptist was baptizing
*John 1:28 (KJV) *These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
\\ \\
#.
Brother Andrew tells Peter that he has found the Messiah
#.
Brother Andrew brings Simon to Jesus
*John 1:42 (KJV) *And he brought him to Jesus.
And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
\\ \\
#.
Here Jesus calls Simon ‘Cephas’
i.
It is the Aramaic word for ROCK
ii.
The Greek word for ROCK is - Peter
#. Jesus KNEW that one day Peter would be a GREAT disciple i.
Jesus also KNEW that Peter would be - as 1st part of his name means - a HALLOW rock
#.
*Some time later, Jesus is walking by the Sea of Galilee, He sees Peter and Andrew Fishing*
#.
Jesus calls out to them
*Matthew 4:19 (KJV) *And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
#.
Jesus called them out to be FISHERS of men
i.
Jesus calls US to be FISHERS of men
#.
After this first encounter, Peter and Andrew went back to their fishing i.
But NOW Jesus calls to Peter to leave his NETS
#.
Jesus calls us to leave our NETS i.
Nets are WHATEVER that would hold us back from giving our ALL to Jesus
ii.
Nets are WHAT hinder us from FOLLOWING Jesus
iii.
If we are to be Christ’s Disciple we must be willing to LEAVE our nets BEHIND \\ \\
*SECOND: LIKE PETER WE MUST BELIEVE IN THE DIVINITY OF JESUS*
* *
#. *The disciples had almost 2 years LEARNING at the feet of Jesus*
#.
Peter along with James and John make up that INNER circle #.
These three were with Jesus when Jesus RAISED Jairus’ daughter
*Luke 8:51 (KJV) *And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.
\\ \\
#.
These three were with Jesus during His PRAYER in the Garden of Gethsemane
#.
These three certainly saw Jesus at work - up front and close
#.
*Jesus told His disciples that SOME of them will see the KINGDOM of God BEFORE they die*
*Luke 9:27 (KJV) *But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
\\ \\
#.
Just 8 days LATER, Jesus takes Peter, James and John to a mountain
*Luke 9:29 (KJV) *And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment /was/ white /and/ glistering.
\\ \\
#.
Jesus was TRANSFORMED i.
His countenance or face was altered and became different.
*Matthew 17:2 (KJV) *And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
\\ \\
#.
His imagine being as bright "*/as the sun!"/* #.
His clothing was changed and became different,
i.
They were glittering or dazzling white.
ii.
The word "*/glistering/*" or "dazzling" = to flash like lightning, to gleam, brighten, be radiant.
#.
THEN 2 Old Testament saints appear
*Luke 9:30-31 (KJV) * And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias: Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
\\ \\
i.
There Moses and Elijah appear and are seen talking to Jesus
#.
Jesus spoke of his ‘*/decease’/* - exodus i.
Jesus was to accomplish
1.
A NEW exodus,
2. A NEW /saving deliverance/,
a. EXCEPT this time it was to be for ALL men.
i.
ALL men were to be DELIVERED from the bondage of sin and death,
#.
Moses - the Law #.
Elijah - the prophets
i.
Both of these OT saints had their own miraculous experiences with God on a mountain
1. First on Mt.
Sinai
2.
The other on Mt.
Carmel
ii.
All speaking of HOW Jesus would fulfill the Law, the Prophecies and God’s plan of Salvation by dying in Jerusalem
#.
These two are very excited i.
Moses had waited over 1,400 years and Elijah over 800 years for the coming of the Messiah
