followed him believing he was the promis ed messiah and desiring to have part with him in his kingdom but whatever the motive that led them to cleave to him he received them and patiently instructed them unfolding the real meaning of his mission and of that kingdom of god which it was the fathers good pleasure to give them luke 1232 it was the father who drew men to the lord jesus and so there was a welcome for all who came john 146 it is just as true to day one may come to him because his heart is broken and he has learned that jesus christ heals broken hearts another comes be cause of a

verse by verse mark 1 16 he saw simon and andrew casting a net into the sea these brothers had met with jesus a short time before but had not then been called to leave all to follow him now they had reached a crisis in their lives when they must make a great decision ob serve that it was the lord jesus not they who took the initative john 1516 verse 17 come ye after me and i will make you fishers of men it is a mistake to attempt to apply these words to all disciples of the lord jesus christ in a special way he selected these two and others later for a great soulwinning ministry but we may be assured that all who follow him faithfully will be used of him in some way that would not be true otherwise verse 18 stralghway they for sook their nets and followed him their hearts had already been won for him now when the call came for fulltime public service there was no hesitancy it is true they had not much to leave but for his names sake they turned from whatever they had in the way of earthly prospects and he made them valiant and competent work men in the great task of winning souls to himself verse 19 he saw james the son of zebedee and john his brother these also were fisher men and john at least had known jesus before possibly james also it is evident that the iord jesus christ recognized their fervency of spirit and the devotion of their hearts to himself verse 20 straightway he call ed them and they left their father and went after him this was a reai test they doubtless loved their father zebedee intensely but they put christ and his claims first and so forsook home and business for his sake chap 5 is he that bad bee possessed with the devil praved him that he might be with mm jthis was an altogether different case here was a man who had been i delivered in a very wonderful way from a terrible state of bondage and distress now in the gratitude of his heart he longs to leave all and go forth with the lord jesus as others had done it is he who takes the initiative verse 19 jesus suffered him not but saith go home to thy friends and tell them how great things the lord hath done for thee it was not the will of the lord that this man should be numbered among the twelve or even the seventy his sphere of service was to be at home in the place where he was so well known his witness for christ there would count for more than if he traveled farther afield verse 20 he began to pub lish in decapolis how great things jesus had done for him decapoiis ten cities was the name given to a group of villages on the eastern side of the sea of galilee the very towns from which the people had come who began to pray him jesus to depart of their coasts see v 17 through this mans testimony that attitude was chang ed when jesus again visited that district he was welcomed then in a very definite manner mark 7 31 chap 1046 blind bartimoeus sat by the wayside begging to this poor sightless mendicant the coming of the lord jesus that day was to mean the opening of his eyes both physically and spirit ually verse 47 he began to cry out jesus thou son of david have mercy on me he did not wait for jesus to call him first but when he heard that it was jesus of naza reth he immediately cried out for the help he so sorely needed sure ly such faith must have gratified the heart of the lord verse 52 immediately he re ceived his sight and followed jesus in the way his faith was at once rewarded jesus granted his request and gave him the additional assurance thy faith hath made thee whole in his great joy bar- timaeus followed the lord jesus christ as he went along the way though there is no evidence that he was called to give all his time to witnessing for christ luke 5 27 he saw a publican named levi sitting at the receipt of custom and he said unto him follow me this is the disciple also called matthew the writer of the first gospel he was a publican serving under the roman govern ment and as such despised by the jews jesus christ saw him and knew the yearning of his heart probably levi had heard the lord observed his miracles and believed in him as the promised alessiah at last the day came when jesus called him from the custom house and there was immediate response verse 2s he left all rose up and followed him this was a fat- greater renunciation for christs sake than any other had made so far as the records go after wind ing up his business levi made a great feast as the next verse tells us and had as guests many of his fellow publicans with jesus and his diciples one is reminded of luthers farewell dinner to his friends and fellow scholars as he was about to enter the augustinian monastery there to seek the salva tion of his soul matthew bade fare well to all worldly interest and henceforth went forth to be identi fied fully with jesus the heart of the lesson our lord has no sterotyped way of dealing with souls he reveals himself by many different means and works according to the special needs of each individual the great thing is that the conscience be reached and the heart drawn to himself whatever the reason one may have for coming to jesus he can be certain that he will not be turned away he values loving devotion to himself it is in this way we may respond to his graci ous entreaties and kindly com mands auction sale farm stock implements hay chain roots the undersigned
