JESUS CALLS FOUR DISCIPLES LESSON TEXT—Luke 5:1-11. GOLDEN TEXT—Come ye after me, and 1 will make you to become fishers of men. —Mark 1:17. Followers of Christ are those who have not counted their goods nor their persons their own, but have willingly yielded all to Him. Obvi ously many who profess to follow ' Him have only done so in that meas ure which will not interfere with their own plans and interests. They need to study this lesson with care. The call of Christ is one which demands willing and wholehearted obedience. I. Yielded Possessions (w. 1-3). These disciples had already re sponded to the ministry of Jesus and had followed Him for a time (see John 1:35-4:54), but they did not yet know the fullness of sur render to Christ and had now gone back to their old work of fishing. May they not be typical of many in our day who know the Lord and have for a time followed Him close ly, but have again become en grossed in their daily vocation, per haps just making money? Jesus was now ready to call them out into a lifetime of service, and the first thing He did was to ask the use of their chief possession, their boat. That was first yielded to Him. It was not by chance that it was Peter’s boat which was just at hand when the Master needed it. Such things do not “just happen.” The destinies of men are in the hands of God, and with His children the simplest happening is known to and controlled by Him. He who num bers the hairs on our heads. He who observes the fall of the sparrow, knows about everything that hap pens to us. II. Yielded Service (w. 4-7). Having completed His teaching by word, Jesus had a special object lesson for Peter and the others con cerning the fruitlessness of service apart from His guidance and con trol, and the blessed results which come from obedience to Him. Taking them where he found them. He showed the disciples that He was the Master even of their secular vocation of fishing. He is the One who knows more about your business than you do, who can give or withhold His blessing. Ail that we have has come tb us from His hand, and it is all within His con trol. This Almighty One was ready to call these fishermen out into the greater business of fishing for men by revealing to them His mighty power to bless and prosper the fish erman—who becomes a fisher of men. III. Yielded Lives (vv. 8-11). The giving of their possessions, the yielding of their work into His hands in obedience, led up to His call for the yielding of their lives. * Often we speak of God’s claims upon the life of the Christian as though it were the fiat of an auto crat, one who demands his rights. God might well do so, for He has full authority and power over all of us, but He is a gracious God and gently leads His children along to the place where they make their own decision to leave all and fol low Him. The work of God in the world is carried on by men. The joy of pro claiming the gospel was not given to the angels, but to redeemed men and women. Knowing the regener ating grace of God in their own lives, they have been called during all this Christian era to go out to tell others. In preparation for that ministry our Lord needed yielded lives, which He sought and found in these humble fishermen. They were “not visionaries or dreamers, but were practical men with common sense. They had been disciplined in the school of common toil . . . Though unlearned so far as formal theolog ical training was concerned, these men were teachable. Under the tutelage of the Son of God Him self they received matchless infor mal training . . . leading to a rec ord of service which the world will never forget. It is that sort of teaching that counts. We, too, may learn in the school of Christ, through a study of His Word assisted by His Spirit, and through the yielding of our lives to His control” (B. L. Olmstead). Christ no longer walks this earth to seek and call out disciples as He did these men, but the blessed suc cession of those of whom it may be said, “They forsook all and fol lowed Him” (v. 11), continues to this day. We repeat what we have said be fore, that one of the thrilling things about teaching Sunday school is that somewhere, in some class this next Sunday, God is going to touch the heart of some boy or girl who will be a leader for Him for the next gen- erj t’on. Trader Rat The wood rat, Neotoma fuscipes, of California, also known a? the trdde or pack rat, is notoroious for raiding camps and cabins and “trading” a twig or pebble for some article, says Collier’s. A search through several of their nests recently disclosed such ob jects as watches, keys, pencils, eyeglasses, mirroys, jolts, etc. Americans in Westminster Abbey Only three Americans have been honored by the British with a memorial in Westminster Abbey— James Russell Lowell with a stained - glass window, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow with a bust and Walter Hines Page with a marble tablet.
