BI-113 Synoptic Gospels Week 4
First call of the four
Peter
Andrew
James
John
The call
Required a change of direction
Requires commitment
The call related to ability (God-given) but a different approach “I will make you”
The call always relates to man in some way “fishers of men”
The response was immediate (they knew in there heart) ,
Synagogues mentioned 68x in NT
Synagogues require 10 or more Jewish men in order to be established
During the time of Christ, there were estimated to be 480 synagogues in Jerusalem alone
They were used for:
a. Jewish worship
b.
Schools for young boys
c.
Courts for handling minor civil disputes
Each synagogue would be managed by a board of elders with its chief elder presiding over its services.
(, , )
Demonic activity is a prevalent them in the NT
The subject of Satan and his demonic host appears nearly 175x in NT
Demons were believed to be everywhere
The world believed very strongly in evil spirits
Jesus establishes his authority as a healer of the demonized and prove himself to be greater than the power of Satan
Jesus confronts demons face-to-face and sternly ordered their departure
Religious leaders also cast our demons (, )
This dynamic presentation awoke a casual synagogue service!
This is the third miracle Jesus performed
D. The Second call of the four
The first call had to do with faith
The second call has to do with obedience
.
The disciples were following and listening (They were with Jesus, hanging around)
The disciples were still concerned with fishing (mending nets)
The disciples were willing to help Jesus out (Let Jesus use there boat)
Peter and his partners were unsuccessful in their “doing it their way” approach to the call (caught nothing)
This is only part of the call
5. Jesus gives them a command that seems unusual (let down your nets)
6.
The disciples respected Jesus enough to obey even though it was against there better judgement (but at your bidding I will let down my nets)
7. The blessing was overwhelming (boats began to sink)
8. Peter realized his lack of obedience (I am a sinful man)
9. Jesus forgives and encourages Peter (Fear not, you will be catching men)
10.
They left everything and followed Jesus (completing the second stage of the call)
E. The call of Matthew
Levi, son of Alpheus
1. James the son of Alpheus
James the son of Alpheus
2. Levi, the son of Alpheus
— No biblical account stating they were brothers
— Even in the same context that James and John, Peter and Andrew are described as being brothers
Luke
Matthew not only believed, but he obeyed
Lessons learned:

Jesus reaches out (Jesus went to Matthew (newly saved) and Matthew invited his friends)
Religion condemns (Pharisees questioned Jesus’ method of associating with “sinners”)

Jesus gave them authority (to cast our demons)

H. Cleansing of a leper followed by much publicity
Leprosy (Hansen’s disease) is one of the most terrible diseases of all time.
First a patch of skin becomes discolored and numb, usually somewhere on the face.
From there the path may spread and grow into thick, glossy tumor-like welts.
Next the disease advances to the hands and feet.
