Anthony Whitehorn – Class 4: A Man Transformed: Peter

1
00:00:00,600 –> 00:00:04,400
This is the 2006 Palm Springs.
Bible school brother, Anthony

2
00:00:04,400 –> 00:00:07,100
white horns.
Topic is be transformed.

3
00:00:07,500 –> 00:00:12,400
The topic for the fourth class
is a man transformed Peter.

4
00:00:13,500 –> 00:00:16,500
Good morning everybody.
I love this.

5
00:00:16,500 –> 00:00:21,200
Just love it.
Let’s just have a look at what

6
00:00:21,200 –> 00:00:23,300
we’ve done there for because
today we’re going to look at

7
00:00:23,400 –> 00:00:25,100
section for be transformed a
man.

8
00:00:25,100 –> 00:00:29,000
Transformed Peter only consider
so far on Monday, of course we

9
00:00:29,000 –> 00:00:32,299
considered what is
transformation and we realized

10
00:00:32,299 –> 00:00:35,300
that it was a complete an inward
change metamorph.

11
00:00:35,300 –> 00:00:39,300
Ooh, it’s not a conforming.
It’s an inward fundamental

12
00:00:39,300 –> 00:00:42,100
change.
And sisterly, just gave me this

13
00:00:42,300 –> 00:00:43,600
this little pattern I read out
to you.

14
00:00:43,600 –> 00:00:46,700
It’s from Corinthians.
So we do not lose heart though.

15
00:00:46,700 –> 00:00:48,900
Our outer nature is wasting
away.

16
00:00:49,200 –> 00:00:53,600
Our Inner nature is being
renewed every day about that,

17
00:00:53,700 –> 00:00:54,900
lovely.
And that’s true.

18
00:00:54,900 –> 00:00:57,200
It’s our inner nature, that’s
changing, and that’s what we

19
00:00:57,200 –> 00:01:01,900
should be looking to change.
And then on Tuesday, on Tuesday,

20
00:01:02,300 –> 00:01:06,100
we of course, had the full glass
at the full glass of air, which

21
00:01:06,100 –> 00:01:11,400
is now got to be displaced by
the fruit of the spirit and that

22
00:01:11,400 –> 00:01:13,700
was our process that we
recognize that we need to be

23
00:01:13,700 –> 00:01:19,500
doing throughout our lives.
Displacing the natural man.

24
00:01:20,000 –> 00:01:23,200
Feeding the white dog and not
feeding the black dog.

25
00:01:24,100 –> 00:01:26,300
And then yesterday, how do we do
that?

26
00:01:27,000 –> 00:01:32,400
We do through disciplines
recognizing that it is God at

27
00:01:32,400 –> 00:01:36,900
will and to work within us but
we require certain disciplines.

28
00:01:37,300 –> 00:01:42,800
We need to have information from
our Bibles and we need to build

29
00:01:42,800 –> 00:01:48,500
on that information by being
throughly, not thoroughly, but

30
00:01:48,500 –> 00:01:51,900
throughly.
Opt for every good work.

31
00:01:52,100 –> 00:01:54,700
So it’s building on that
information that we get from our

32
00:01:54,700 –> 00:01:58,400
study to be throughly.
Equipped for every good work.

33
00:01:59,600 –> 00:02:01,900
That’s the first point in the
second one was course prayer.

34
00:02:01,900 –> 00:02:04,900
The effectual, fervent prayer of
a righteous man availeth much.

35
00:02:04,900 –> 00:02:07,500
So those are the things that
we’ve discovered so far.

36
00:02:07,500 –> 00:02:11,700
And today, today we’re looking
at an example, and that example

37
00:02:12,000 –> 00:02:16,000
is the man.
Peter I think most of us quite

38
00:02:16,000 –> 00:02:18,900
like Peter, don’t lie.
So yeah, it’s just one of those

39
00:02:18,900 –> 00:02:21,000
two of interesting sort of
chaps.

40
00:02:22,200 –> 00:02:27,200
I wasn’t a start today with a
little illustration but small.

41
00:02:27,700 –> 00:02:30,100
Well I wouldn’t I wouldn’t do
that.

42
00:02:30,800 –> 00:02:34,300
I will explain the illustration
at the end of which I will then

43
00:02:34,300 –> 00:02:38,000
explain why I’m not going to do
the illustration is what I was

44
00:02:38,000 –> 00:02:40,000
going to do.
I was going to show you three

45
00:02:40,000 –> 00:02:43,100
things.
I was going to show you an egg a

46
00:02:43,100 –> 00:02:47,100
stone and the police Piece of
Play-Doh, you understand plate,

47
00:02:47,100 –> 00:02:50,300
you have played a good, okay?
And piece of Play-Doh and what I

48
00:02:50,308 –> 00:02:55,600
was going to do was going to get
a hammer and smash the egg.

49
00:02:55,600 –> 00:02:58,900
And then, of course, it won’t
break the stone, but the hammer

50
00:02:59,600 –> 00:03:06,500
leaves an image in the Play-Doh.
And that of course, is just to

51
00:03:06,500 –> 00:03:09,300
show that how we should be.
We should be like the piece of

52
00:03:09,300 –> 00:03:16,500
Play-Doh because that leaves the
image that molds us left on us.

53
00:03:18,200 –> 00:03:20,200
It’s quite a drop this one.
Good little illustration.

54
00:03:20,200 –> 00:03:23,600
I thought, let me now, tell you
why I’m not didn’t, I’m not

55
00:03:23,600 –> 00:03:24,900
going to do it.
I tried this.

56
00:03:25,000 –> 00:03:30,000
I tried it about a year ago and
it was at a special effort that

57
00:03:30,000 –> 00:03:35,600
we had and I at.
So I put an egg in a bag, and I

58
00:03:35,600 –> 00:03:37,500
had a piece of stone also in a
bag.

59
00:03:37,500 –> 00:03:40,200
And I had the Play-Doh and I
did, the play doesn’t look that

60
00:03:40,200 –> 00:03:41,400
leaves the image.
Yeah.

61
00:03:41,600 –> 00:03:44,300
I then I was standing at the
front there and then it had the

62
00:03:44,300 –> 00:03:46,800
egg in the bag.
I got the hammer when boss like

63
00:03:46,800 –> 00:03:50,400
that.
She had smashed and so did the

64
00:03:50,400 –> 00:03:56,100
bag.
And it went all over the front,

65
00:03:56,100 –> 00:03:58,700
three rows.
And it was it was a couple of

66
00:03:58,700 –> 00:04:02,400
interesting things in there but
like Whiting the Egg of them and

67
00:04:02,400 –> 00:04:05,300
thinking what is this?
I’ve joined come along too.

68
00:04:06,000 –> 00:04:08,600
It didn’t stop there and then at
least four people one sells I

69
00:04:08,600 –> 00:04:11,000
said, you know, I understand
that we we don’t want to break

70
00:04:11,000 –> 00:04:13,200
just have the image that goes.
Well, I got up this phone.

71
00:04:13,200 –> 00:04:16,100
I said and what’s this?
Hit the stone and the Stone from

72
00:04:19,399 –> 00:04:20,800
That’s not what I want to try
and show to me.

73
00:04:20,808 –> 00:04:23,000
Now I want to try and explain to
you that we should be like the

74
00:04:23,000 –> 00:04:27,800
Play-Doh have the image God’s
image imprinted on us.

75
00:04:27,900 –> 00:04:33,100
We should be malleable to God’s
image working on us and that’s

76
00:04:33,100 –> 00:04:39,500
what I think happened to Peter
in the 12 to 15 years of Peter.

77
00:04:39,500 –> 00:04:43,700
This man he was transformed, he
was a changed man.

78
00:04:43,700 –> 00:04:45,900
During those twelve to Fifteen
year period that we seem to meet

79
00:04:45,900 –> 00:04:47,200
him.
It’s just think about in first

80
00:04:47,200 –> 00:04:50,800
of all, the background of Peter
what About him, he was married.

81
00:04:51,900 –> 00:04:53,900
We know that is mother-in-law
being ill.

82
00:04:53,900 –> 00:04:57,800
We also read about actually that
he actually took his wife on

83
00:04:57,800 –> 00:04:59,500
trips, to our missionary trips
with him.

84
00:04:59,500 –> 00:05:02,200
Read about that in Corinthians.
So he’s a married man.

85
00:05:02,800 –> 00:05:03,900
What else do we know about
Peter?

86
00:05:04,000 –> 00:05:07,100
He was obviously a fisherman
with his is probably his elder,

87
00:05:07,100 –> 00:05:09,700
brother, Andrew with James and
John.

88
00:05:09,700 –> 00:05:12,600
He was a member of the Zebedee
Fishing Company.

89
00:05:13,500 –> 00:05:15,200
So what else does we know about
him?

90
00:05:15,200 –> 00:05:16,500
What else we know about him as
well?

91
00:05:16,800 –> 00:05:20,300
In terms of Personality, we
Nobody’s personality.

92
00:05:20,300 –> 00:05:25,700
Well, we know that he would
quite often engage his mouth

93
00:05:25,700 –> 00:05:29,700
before his brain.
He was a little bit of the old

94
00:05:29,700 –> 00:05:32,600
impetuous Peter, wasn’t he?
And we can think of some

95
00:05:32,600 –> 00:05:33,900
examples of that.
Just think about the

96
00:05:33,900 –> 00:05:38,900
Transfiguration and I love the
Bible when it says and while

97
00:05:38,900 –> 00:05:42,300
Peter was still speaking,
suddenly something happened is

98
00:05:42,300 –> 00:05:45,200
like he was just babbling on, he
didn’t know what to say and he

99
00:05:45,200 –> 00:05:49,100
just talked and and I love that
with a look at this example.

100
00:05:49,300 –> 00:05:54,800
The moment, the example of the
the occasion, when the the

101
00:05:54,800 –> 00:05:59,200
Pharisees came up to him up to
Peter and say, does your does

102
00:05:59,200 –> 00:06:02,100
your master pay the temple tax?
It is yeah.

103
00:06:02,100 –> 00:06:07,600
Yeah he does he didn’t know,
it’s all you have no idea and he

104
00:06:07,600 –> 00:06:09,400
sort of it.
Sort of says those things

105
00:06:09,400 –> 00:06:14,700
impetuously and he’s outspoken.
He seems on a number of

106
00:06:14,707 –> 00:06:18,100
occasions to answer for the rest
of the disciples.

107
00:06:20,000 –> 00:06:25,000
And he has a colorful tongue.
It’s lovely.

108
00:06:25,000 –> 00:06:29,700
Is in its, what?
In Mark 14, where it talks about

109
00:06:30,300 –> 00:06:38,500
the denial and it says he cursed
If you say, oh goodness me, no,

110
00:06:38,500 –> 00:06:41,200
you’re absolutely wrong.
This man was a fisherman.

111
00:06:41,200 –> 00:06:43,600
He knew the language of
fishermen.

112
00:06:45,000 –> 00:06:47,800
We calling in UK, he would have
Esten blinded.

113
00:06:47,800 –> 00:06:51,000
I would suspect it was, he would
have been very, it would have

114
00:06:51,000 –> 00:06:52,800
been sort of that.
Salty, be cursed.

115
00:06:52,800 –> 00:06:56,000
He would have the words that he
cursed, he cursed.

116
00:06:57,200 –> 00:07:00,300
So he would have been very
serious strong language.

117
00:07:00,400 –> 00:07:08,500
He was a man of the world, he’d
been around a bit, was Peter So

118
00:07:09,200 –> 00:07:12,900
that’s what we know a little bit
about the, the background of

119
00:07:12,900 –> 00:07:15,400
Peter.
Listen, I just think a little

120
00:07:15,400 –> 00:07:19,700
bit about this man then and how
he changed because he was a man

121
00:07:19,700 –> 00:07:21,200
transformed.
We’re going to look at some

122
00:07:21,200 –> 00:07:25,200
passages here and see how this
man moved on and change.

123
00:07:25,200 –> 00:07:28,000
Their see where we first, where
he first meets, Jesus isn’t

124
00:07:28,000 –> 00:07:49,000
John, John chapter 1?
John 1 35 to 42.

125
00:07:50,200 –> 00:07:54,800
This is what it says again, the
next day after John, stood until

126
00:07:54,800 –> 00:07:58,900
his disciples and looking Upon
Jesus as he walked, he said,

127
00:07:58,900 –> 00:08:02,100
Behold the Lamb of God and the
two disciples heard him speak

128
00:08:02,100 –> 00:08:05,300
and they followed Jesus.
And then Jesus turned and saw

129
00:08:05,300 –> 00:08:06,800
them following and said unto
them.

130
00:08:07,500 –> 00:08:11,400
What sikhi they said unto him
Rabbi which is to say being

131
00:08:11,400 –> 00:08:16,100
interrupted Master where
dwellest thou he said unto them.

132
00:08:16,200 –> 00:08:19,700
Come and see they came and saw
where he dwelt and Abode with

133
00:08:19,700 –> 00:08:21,900
him.
Dave, it was about the tenth

134
00:08:21,900 –> 00:08:25,800
hour and one of the two which
heard John speak and followed

135
00:08:25,800 –> 00:08:30,300
him was Andrew Simon Peters
brother, right?

136
00:08:30,300 –> 00:08:35,000
So what happened is that if this
here is the Sea of Galilee, they

137
00:08:35,000 –> 00:08:39,799
lived up here in Capernaum, and
what happened here is that

138
00:08:39,900 –> 00:08:44,000
Andrew and John a good little
two-man boat, and the come down

139
00:08:44,100 –> 00:08:49,900
the Sea of Galilee and gone down
the Jordan to meet John and

140
00:08:49,900 –> 00:08:54,400
Jesus for the first time.
And it says there that they in

141
00:08:54,400 –> 00:09:00,100
verse 39 and they stayed all day
for it was about the tenth hour

142
00:09:00,200 –> 00:09:01,600
so they come all the way down
there.

143
00:09:01,700 –> 00:09:05,800
They’re met Jesus for the first
time and then at 4:00 in the

144
00:09:05,800 –> 00:09:12,300
afternoon they then left.
Then verse 40 and one of the two

145
00:09:12,600 –> 00:09:16,100
which heard John speak and
followed him was Andrew Simon

146
00:09:16,100 –> 00:09:19,300
Peters brother.
He first found his own brother

147
00:09:19,300 –> 00:09:22,700
Simon and said unto him.
We have found the Messias which

148
00:09:22,700 –> 00:09:27,100
is being interpreted the Christ.
So what then happened is that

149
00:09:27,100 –> 00:09:31,000
John and Andrew took their
little boat back all the way

150
00:09:31,000 –> 00:09:35,400
back up to Capernaum to find
Simon.

151
00:09:36,300 –> 00:09:41,100
Probably the younger brother
Andre and you can imagine what

152
00:09:41,100 –> 00:09:44,200
Simon would have been thinking
just to get a little bit of a

153
00:09:44,200 –> 00:09:46,900
flavor of the character.
They’re from what we seen

154
00:09:46,900 –> 00:09:49,400
earlier on.
I can imagine he was probably

155
00:09:50,100 –> 00:09:52,100
standing by the case.
I’ve been waiting for them

156
00:09:52,300 –> 00:09:55,500
because they weren’t going out
to fish that night and so he

157
00:09:55,500 –> 00:09:58,000
would these and think come on
with, we should be fishing.

158
00:09:58,000 –> 00:10:01,500
Where have you been?
And he would have been a bit

159
00:10:01,500 –> 00:10:02,900
annoyed.
I suspect.

160
00:10:04,700 –> 00:10:09,400
And then verse 42.
I would suspect it was the next

161
00:10:09,400 –> 00:10:14,000
day, this happened, and he
brought him to Jesus at his

162
00:10:14,200 –> 00:10:17,100
Andrew brought Peter, Simon to
Jesus.

163
00:10:17,100 –> 00:10:21,300
And when Jesus beheld him, he
saith Thou Art, Simon, the son

164
00:10:21,300 –> 00:10:24,600
of Jonah, Thou shalt be called
cephas, which is by

165
00:10:24,600 –> 00:10:30,600
interpretation a stone.
It was the next day and here is

166
00:10:30,900 –> 00:10:35,400
Jesus seeing Simon first time.
He said, yeah, you’re Simon,

167
00:10:35,600 –> 00:10:41,000
you’re John’s son.
I’m not going to call you Peter.

168
00:10:42,500 –> 00:10:43,800
Interesting.
That is Nikki and he actually

169
00:10:43,800 –> 00:10:51,100
calls him Peter once in Luke 22.
And of course, that means the

170
00:10:51,100 –> 00:10:56,300
rock the stable one.
This man was far from being

171
00:10:56,300 –> 00:11:01,400
stable.
Originally he was called Simon

172
00:11:01,500 –> 00:11:06,700
which means hearing and then he
was going to be called Peter,

173
00:11:06,800 –> 00:11:09,300
which means the rock the stable
one.

174
00:11:10,100 –> 00:11:14,000
And I suggest that through
hearing he was going to become

175
00:11:14,000 –> 00:11:21,500
stable.
Now when you meet Simon, Peter

176
00:11:22,100 –> 00:11:23,200
have the first.
I need just one of those

177
00:11:23,200 –> 00:11:27,200
individuals that I suspect that
you think he will never be a

178
00:11:27,200 –> 00:11:29,100
Christian.
And we have those individuals in

179
00:11:29,100 –> 00:11:33,600
our lives, don’t we we sort of
blank them out, psychological

180
00:11:33,600 –> 00:11:35,900
sad thing to do.
And that to me, was a lesson

181
00:11:35,900 –> 00:11:38,600
about this, man, we don’t have
huge amount about to

182
00:11:38,600 –> 00:11:41,900
necessarily, but trying to piece
some of those those little bits

183
00:11:41,900 –> 00:11:45,900
that we do know about him, we
sort of think he’ll him, he’s

184
00:11:45,900 –> 00:11:49,300
not your true.
Additional Christian him and I

185
00:11:49,300 –> 00:11:51,900
think that’s probably what Simon
was Simon.

186
00:11:51,900 –> 00:11:55,200
Peter was he would not be
classified as that traditional

187
00:11:55,200 –> 00:11:59,900
Christian.
And so on that first occasion, I

188
00:11:59,900 –> 00:12:04,400
wonder what Peter thought.
Whooping held up, he’d been

189
00:12:04,400 –> 00:12:06,800
waiting by the case.
I’d the night before waiting for

190
00:12:06,800 –> 00:12:08,700
his brother and John to come
back.

191
00:12:10,400 –> 00:12:13,600
And then when he did come back,
the next day, was taken down to

192
00:12:13,600 –> 00:12:20,100
see this Jesus and Jesus knew
him, Peter thought who is this?

193
00:12:20,100 –> 00:12:23,000
Chap.
Let’s now look at the next

194
00:12:23,000 –> 00:12:24,900
occasion.
Luke, Luke chapter 5.

195
00:12:38,700 –> 00:12:45,000
Luke chapter 5.
And verse 12 verse 11.

196
00:12:47,100 –> 00:12:49,800
And it came to pass that as the
people pressed upon him to hear

197
00:12:49,800 –> 00:12:53,400
the word of God is to by the
lake of knesset and saw two

198
00:12:53,400 –> 00:12:56,400
ships down by the lake but the
fishermen were going out to the

199
00:12:56,600 –> 00:12:58,500
of them and we’re washing their
Nets.

200
00:13:00,600 –> 00:13:01,700
So, they’ve been fishing all
night.

201
00:13:01,700 –> 00:13:06,100
These fishermen and help
Courtney thing.

202
00:13:07,700 –> 00:13:11,400
Now, these were hard times, they
would have lived hand-to-mouth

203
00:13:12,600 –> 00:13:15,800
So, they were now having to mend
their Nets.

204
00:13:17,300 –> 00:13:20,400
And you can imagine that
preacher’s wife was probably

205
00:13:20,400 –> 00:13:23,100
thinking these are unsocial
hours or you’re working Peter.

206
00:13:24,200 –> 00:13:27,300
You’re out all night.
And then in the daytime, you’re

207
00:13:27,300 –> 00:13:30,500
mending, their Nets, or yet, you
try and get some sleep.

208
00:13:30,800 –> 00:13:34,300
It’s not a particularly, it’s a
hard life, this man was having

209
00:13:34,600 –> 00:13:39,600
and he hadn’t caught anything.
So there he wasn’t lucky side,

210
00:13:40,100 –> 00:13:43,200
washing his Nets and mending
them and then all of a sudden

211
00:13:43,400 –> 00:13:46,400
these people come up and they
start trampling over his Nets.

212
00:13:47,200 –> 00:13:52,300
I suspect he wasn’t very happy
about all that. and then there,

213
00:13:53,900 –> 00:13:57,700
He in verse 3, he entered into
one of the ships which was

214
00:13:57,700 –> 00:14:01,600
Simons and prayed him that he
would trust out, thrust out, a

215
00:14:01,600 –> 00:14:05,000
little from the land and he sat
down and taught the people out

216
00:14:05,000 –> 00:14:08,900
of the ship, put out the boat
with you Simon what put out the

217
00:14:08,900 –> 00:14:14,700
boats, he pushed out the boat.
Beautiful wonderful situation to

218
00:14:14,700 –> 00:14:19,400
do preaching.
So way from the crowd, those of

219
00:14:19,400 –> 00:14:22,800
you that know that actually
having the crowd like that

220
00:14:22,800 –> 00:14:26,100
talking over the water superb,
Acoustics and everybody would

221
00:14:26,100 –> 00:14:30,800
have heard users really well.
And the visibility would have

222
00:14:30,800 –> 00:14:34,400
been good and then in verse 4
now when you had left speaking

223
00:14:34,600 –> 00:14:38,300
he said to Simon launch out into
the deep and let down your nets

224
00:14:38,300 –> 00:14:41,200
for a draft.
Let me tell you a couple of

225
00:14:41,200 –> 00:14:44,700
things here.
Number one, you don’t fish in

226
00:14:44,700 –> 00:14:47,000
the daytime.
Why?

227
00:14:47,100 –> 00:14:49,300
Because the fish, they want to
go and hide.

228
00:14:50,400 –> 00:14:52,500
The last thing you do is go
fishing at data.

229
00:14:52,600 –> 00:14:56,400
You fish at night.
Number two, you don’t fishing

230
00:14:56,400 –> 00:14:58,600
deep water, you fishing shallow
water.

231
00:14:58,900 –> 00:15:01,400
Your now, Nets aren’t that deep
aren’t that big.

232
00:15:01,800 –> 00:15:04,000
You want to fish at night in
shallow water?

233
00:15:04,900 –> 00:15:10,100
And here is a carpenter telling
a professional fisherman, how to

234
00:15:10,100 –> 00:15:15,800
fish and is all wrong.
And what do you say in verse 5

235
00:15:16,400 –> 00:15:18,900
and Simon?
Answering said unto him master,

236
00:15:19,000 –> 00:15:24,100
that literally means, Skipper,
Skipper, I don’t know.

237
00:15:24,100 –> 00:15:26,600
But what he perhaps being a
little bit sarcastic here.

238
00:15:26,800 –> 00:15:28,700
I don’t know.
Perhaps.

239
00:15:29,900 –> 00:15:32,000
We have toiled all night and
have taken nothing.

240
00:15:32,000 –> 00:15:35,600
And nevertheless at Thy word are
let down the net.

241
00:15:35,900 –> 00:15:37,800
How was Peter feeding at this
stage?

242
00:15:38,000 –> 00:15:40,700
He hadn’t caught.
Anything is trying to mend his

243
00:15:40,700 –> 00:15:42,500
Nets and people trampled all
over them.

244
00:15:43,100 –> 00:15:45,900
And now there was this man,
Jesus who made meta perhaps a

245
00:15:45,900 –> 00:15:49,600
couple of days beforehand and
now it’s a Nowitzki and fish in

246
00:15:49,600 –> 00:15:52,700
the daytime in deep water right
skipper.

247
00:15:54,200 –> 00:15:57,000
I’ll do that.
Then you’re a carpenter.

248
00:16:00,500 –> 00:16:01,800
And then, of course, what
happens.

249
00:16:02,900 –> 00:16:07,200
When they’re done this, they
enclose a great multitude of

250
00:16:07,200 –> 00:16:11,100
fishes and their net break.
Wow.

251
00:16:12,300 –> 00:16:18,400
What an incredible miracle and
what a wonderful opportunity.

252
00:16:19,600 –> 00:16:23,100
What a wonderful opportunity to
go and make some big money here

253
00:16:24,300 –> 00:16:26,300
because probably that that
night.

254
00:16:26,300 –> 00:16:30,600
Nobody caught very much fish.
And it was, as I said they

255
00:16:30,600 –> 00:16:33,400
didn’t have very, they didn’t
have big refrigerators to keep

256
00:16:33,400 –> 00:16:35,500
the fish.
When they caught them, they sold

257
00:16:35,500 –> 00:16:39,700
them the next morning.
And probably nobody caught fish

258
00:16:39,700 –> 00:16:43,500
that night.
But here is Peter who had gone

259
00:16:43,500 –> 00:16:45,800
out and caught a huge amount of
fish.

260
00:16:45,800 –> 00:16:49,400
He had the Monopoly and
everybody would have want to be

261
00:16:49,408 –> 00:16:53,500
in coming to him.
So did he make the most of it?

262
00:16:55,100 –> 00:16:59,700
Well, what did he do?
When Simon Peter saw it, what do

263
00:16:59,700 –> 00:17:02,400
you do to go into the market and
think I’m going to really raise

264
00:17:02,400 –> 00:17:07,099
the price of fish today.
He fell down at Jesus knees.

265
00:17:07,099 –> 00:17:11,200
Saying depart from me for I am a
sinful man.

266
00:17:14,700 –> 00:17:19,400
The second Adam had dominion
over the fish of the sea.

267
00:17:20,900 –> 00:17:25,500
And Peter saw it.
This man, Peter who perhaps is a

268
00:17:25,508 –> 00:17:27,300
little bit skeptical at the
beginning.

269
00:17:29,500 –> 00:17:31,700
And now it was a case of
realization.

270
00:17:35,600 –> 00:17:37,800
Somebody said to me once, how do
I know when I’m ready for

271
00:17:37,800 –> 00:17:43,800
baptism?
When you realize that you need,

272
00:17:43,800 –> 00:17:47,100
Jesus.
And that’s what happened to

273
00:17:47,100 –> 00:17:50,700
Peter here in verse 8.
Simon, Peter saw it.

274
00:17:50,800 –> 00:17:53,900
He fell down at Jesus knees.
Depart me why?

275
00:17:53,900 –> 00:18:00,100
Cuz I’m a sinful man.
So here you have the very first

276
00:18:00,100 –> 00:18:06,600
meeting that Jesus met Peter,
Jesus said to Peter, I know

277
00:18:06,600 –> 00:18:11,100
about you and I know about your
past, but what goes on to here

278
00:18:12,100 –> 00:18:13,800
for?
He was astonished and all that

279
00:18:13,800 –> 00:18:16,600
were with him at the draft of
the fishes, which they had

280
00:18:16,600 –> 00:18:19,500
taken.
And so was also James and John,

281
00:18:19,500 –> 00:18:22,000
the sons of Zebedee, which are
partners with Simon and Jesus

282
00:18:22,000 –> 00:18:24,300
said unto Simon fear, not from
henceforth.

283
00:18:24,300 –> 00:18:28,300
Thou shalt catch men when they
brought their shit, Land.

284
00:18:28,300 –> 00:18:30,500
They forsook all and followed
him.

285
00:18:30,600 –> 00:18:34,500
So this big catch, they don’t
monopolize that in the markets,

286
00:18:34,500 –> 00:18:39,800
they forsook all And when you
follow Jesus, so the first

287
00:18:39,800 –> 00:18:42,400
occasion.
Jesus said, I know about you.

288
00:18:42,600 –> 00:18:46,000
I know about your past, your
father’s, John and the second

289
00:18:46,000 –> 00:18:47,900
occasion.
I know about you.

290
00:18:48,200 –> 00:18:51,400
I know about your future, you’re
going to catch me.

291
00:18:55,300 –> 00:18:59,500
And that’s to me a start of a
lesson of transformation.

292
00:19:00,000 –> 00:19:03,000
The third lesson of
transformation is recognizing

293
00:19:03,000 –> 00:19:08,600
that Jesus knows he knows about
your past.

294
00:19:09,900 –> 00:19:13,200
But he knows about your future,
he knows where you are going.

295
00:19:14,500 –> 00:19:19,700
And we have the tools that we
talked about yesterday here and

296
00:19:19,700 –> 00:19:25,600
here to enable Jesus to help us
to get where he wants us to go,

297
00:19:26,100 –> 00:19:30,100
because he is in control.
I want you to imagine this

298
00:19:30,100 –> 00:19:33,400
situation.
There is a dog in a car.

299
00:19:34,700 –> 00:19:40,700
And the dog in the car is going
mad running from seek to seek

300
00:19:40,700 –> 00:19:43,300
jumping around.
Howling doesn’t know what’s

301
00:19:43,300 –> 00:19:46,100
happening.
Looking completely petrified.

302
00:19:48,500 –> 00:19:53,700
The man in the driver’s seat,
he’s looking completely calm.

303
00:19:57,000 –> 00:20:01,300
Why is the dog?
Frightened and jumping around?

304
00:20:02,400 –> 00:20:07,400
The reason being is that the car
has just gone into a car wash.

305
00:20:10,400 –> 00:20:13,200
And the dog sees these things
coming towards him and doesn’t

306
00:20:13,200 –> 00:20:16,100
know what’s happening.
He’s jumping all over the place.

307
00:20:16,100 –> 00:20:22,200
He’s frightened.
The man who’s calm knows exactly

308
00:20:22,200 –> 00:20:27,500
what’s going on.
And that’s the contrast.

309
00:20:29,500 –> 00:20:33,500
The Lord.
Jesus Christ knows our future.

310
00:20:34,800 –> 00:20:37,000
He is the man in the driving
seat.

311
00:20:38,500 –> 00:20:43,700
And he’s calm.
However, we are, we like the dog

312
00:20:43,700 –> 00:20:48,000
jumping around or do we have
that fruit of the spirit, which

313
00:20:48,000 –> 00:20:59,300
is Joy, which of course means
doubt abandoned And so Peters

314
00:20:59,300 –> 00:21:07,400
journey of transformation begins
here as he allows Jesus to

315
00:21:07,400 –> 00:21:12,700
transform him to change him.
Let’s now, look at another

316
00:21:12,700 –> 00:21:14,300
instant.
Matthew chapter 14.

317
00:21:14,300 –> 00:21:16,700
It was our reading.
I love this passage.

318
00:21:21,500 –> 00:21:24,500
We know it.
Well, it’s the occasion of

319
00:21:24,500 –> 00:21:28,400
course of Peter walking on the
water.

320
00:21:33,700 –> 00:21:38,600
And Matthew chapter 14, of
course we know the situation.

321
00:21:38,600 –> 00:21:42,800
Read about it verse 23.
After he dismissed them and he

322
00:21:42,800 –> 00:21:47,200
went up on a Mountainside.
That’s what after he had sent

323
00:21:47,200 –> 00:21:50,900
the multitudes away.
He went up onto a mountain apart

324
00:21:50,900 –> 00:21:57,300
to pray and when the evening was
come, he was there alone but the

325
00:21:57,300 –> 00:21:59,100
ship was.
Now in the midst of the sea

326
00:21:59,300 –> 00:22:02,700
tossed with waves for the wind
was contrary for those of you

327
00:22:02,700 –> 00:22:05,100
who have been to the Middle
East, been to Israel.

328
00:22:06,000 –> 00:22:09,400
You know exactly what evening is
like.

329
00:22:11,500 –> 00:22:16,200
Evening, whatever time of year
it is, is somewhere between 5:00

330
00:22:16,500 –> 00:22:21,000
and 5:30 6:00 in the evening.
That’s it doesn’t change.

331
00:22:23,000 –> 00:22:26,300
So it’s now somewhere between
five and a half six and it’s

332
00:22:26,300 –> 00:22:29,000
wonderful in the Middle East.
If you’re there, we’ll ever you

333
00:22:29,000 –> 00:22:30,900
go there.
It’s wonderful to watch the sun

334
00:22:30,900 –> 00:22:33,200
set.
The sunset takes just over two

335
00:22:33,200 –> 00:22:35,600
minutes to send the whole sun to
nothing.

336
00:22:36,000 –> 00:22:37,700
It’s incredible how quickly it
goes down.

337
00:22:37,800 –> 00:22:40,000
So evening is a very short
period of time.

338
00:22:41,900 –> 00:22:47,100
So, it’s between 5:00 and 5:30
6:00, and the boat is already

339
00:22:47,100 –> 00:22:53,700
been tossed about.
And then what’s it, say, goes on

340
00:22:53,700 –> 00:22:59,000
to say, this during the Fourth
Watch of the night, Jesus went

341
00:22:59,000 –> 00:23:05,000
unto them walking on the Sea.
The Fourth Watch that’s 3 a.m.

342
00:23:05,000 –> 00:23:08,000
in the morning.
That’s 10 hours later.

343
00:23:10,800 –> 00:23:12,500
And what did he’s been doing all
that time?

344
00:23:12,900 –> 00:23:17,100
I’ve been praying.
And this storm have been going

345
00:23:17,100 –> 00:23:22,100
on for ten hours, and Jesus knew
exactly what was going on.

346
00:23:24,200 –> 00:23:25,700
A little lesson there for us,
isn’t there?

347
00:23:27,000 –> 00:23:28,900
There will be storms in our
lives.

348
00:23:30,300 –> 00:23:36,000
And Jesus knows all about them,
he may not come immediately, but

349
00:23:36,000 –> 00:23:40,500
he will be praying for us.
During that period of time.

350
00:23:43,100 –> 00:23:50,700
And he comes. and, The storm
happened just a little aside

351
00:23:50,700 –> 00:23:54,000
from going to cut, sometimes if
Mark no Mark passage, it says

352
00:23:54,000 –> 00:23:57,100
when Jesus comes he was going to
pass by them and that phrase is

353
00:23:57,100 –> 00:24:00,000
going to pass by strange phrase.
It occurs in two other

354
00:24:00,000 –> 00:24:06,100
occasions, it occurs with Moses
and occurs with Elijah on both.

355
00:24:06,100 –> 00:24:09,600
Those two occasions where it
says those words pass by a

356
00:24:09,600 –> 00:24:12,700
specific occasion.
As specific words, it’s when God

357
00:24:12,700 –> 00:24:16,400
was communicating directly to
Moses and communicating at Horeb

358
00:24:16,400 –> 00:24:17,900
directly to Elijah.
Shh.

359
00:24:18,500 –> 00:24:21,900
So, what is passed by here?
I’ll tell you why, because God

360
00:24:21,900 –> 00:24:27,100
is communicating directly to us
about discipleship.

361
00:24:27,800 –> 00:24:32,400
This is all about discipleship,
this occasion with Peter.

362
00:24:35,100 –> 00:24:37,700
And Jesus comes up and they
think it’s a ghost.

363
00:24:37,700 –> 00:24:40,200
And then of course, they realize
it’s Jesus.

364
00:24:41,200 –> 00:24:43,900
And what speeches do impetuous
Peter does he jump out?

365
00:24:44,700 –> 00:24:48,700
No, he doesn’t.
Actually verse 28 says this and

366
00:24:48,700 –> 00:24:53,500
Peter answered him and said
Lord, if it be thou bid me come

367
00:24:53,500 –> 00:24:57,300
unto thee on the water.
So he asked Jesus, first of all,

368
00:24:57,300 –> 00:25:00,700
can I come out to you?
He checks with Jesus first.

369
00:25:00,900 –> 00:25:03,800
How often do we do that?
Do you often go off and do

370
00:25:03,800 –> 00:25:05,700
something and then we It was
Jesus.

371
00:25:06,500 –> 00:25:09,700
Check the dog.
No, no the principle here.

372
00:25:09,900 –> 00:25:13,800
Check with God first and then
get out of the boat.

373
00:25:15,800 –> 00:25:18,100
You know, there are two reaction
to Jesus on this occasion.

374
00:25:18,900 –> 00:25:23,100
I always thought this was a
situation of the failure of

375
00:25:23,100 –> 00:25:27,100
Peter.
It’s not at all, because the two

376
00:25:27,100 –> 00:25:30,400
reactions to Jesus, there’s a
reaction of the 11th and the

377
00:25:30,400 –> 00:25:35,200
reaction of the one, the 11
people avoided failure.

378
00:25:36,400 –> 00:25:40,700
The one person saw an
opportunity, We are.

379
00:25:40,800 –> 00:25:45,700
I put it to you a little bit,
like the 11 in the UK, the most

380
00:25:45,800 –> 00:25:50,000
popular chair to buy is called a
lazy boy.

381
00:25:50,000 –> 00:25:53,100
You have lazy boys is, do you
do, okay, right, so most popular

382
00:25:53,100 –> 00:25:58,000
chair in the UK, right?
It’s called a lazy boy, isn’t an

383
00:25:58,000 –> 00:26:01,100
interesting phrase that we have
phrases in our English language.

384
00:26:01,100 –> 00:26:07,500
You prevent the same called veg
out or couch potato And isn’t it

385
00:26:07,500 –> 00:26:10,300
frustrating when you lose remote
to the TV?

386
00:26:10,600 –> 00:26:12,700
And it’s so frustrating.
Do you know, you can actually

387
00:26:12,700 –> 00:26:16,500
buy a remote control now whereby
if you lose it, you can clap

388
00:26:16,500 –> 00:26:21,800
your hands and it’s beeps.
The fact sad thing is that some

389
00:26:21,800 –> 00:26:23,200
of your thinking?
I’ve got to get one of those

390
00:26:27,400 –> 00:26:29,100
That’s that’s where we’ve got
to.

391
00:26:30,500 –> 00:26:33,500
We’re a bit like the 11.
You know what it says in

392
00:26:33,500 –> 00:26:38,800
Ephesians this make the most of
every opportunity or redeem the

393
00:26:38,800 –> 00:26:43,700
time.
And that’s what Peter saw.

394
00:26:44,300 –> 00:26:47,600
Peter saw an opportunity brother
and sisters.

395
00:26:47,900 –> 00:26:51,300
You can’t walk on water unless
you get out of the boat.

396
00:26:53,500 –> 00:26:58,000
And that’s one beta recognized.
But the Rock.

397
00:26:59,100 –> 00:27:03,400
Sank Like a Stone.
But in verse 30, something,

398
00:27:03,400 –> 00:27:06,700
wonderful happens.
But when he saw the wind

399
00:27:06,900 –> 00:27:09,300
boisterous, he was afraid and
beginning to sink.

400
00:27:09,300 –> 00:27:12,100
He cried saying, Lord, save me.
What would you do?

401
00:27:12,600 –> 00:27:14,600
They were, you’re walking on the
water.

402
00:27:15,200 –> 00:27:17,400
You’ve been a Peter.
You’ve seen the opportunity and

403
00:27:17,400 –> 00:27:19,200
you’re walking on the water.
What would you do?

404
00:27:19,800 –> 00:27:24,500
Would you turn to Jesus or would
you turn back to the boat?

405
00:27:27,300 –> 00:27:32,600
Now, there’s a challenge.
And this man turned to Jesus.

406
00:27:34,000 –> 00:27:35,900
Now, there’s a bit of a
transformation isn’t there?

407
00:27:40,900 –> 00:27:45,300
And it isn’t until he asked
Jesus, that Jesus gives him

408
00:27:45,300 –> 00:27:48,400
help.
Jesus didn’t immediately when he

409
00:27:48,400 –> 00:27:51,200
saw him sink, go out stretched
his arm out and pick him up.

410
00:27:51,900 –> 00:27:54,700
It was until he asked Jesus to
help him that Jesus helped him.

411
00:27:55,100 –> 00:27:57,200
So wonderful exaltation, see in
this passage here.

412
00:27:58,700 –> 00:28:01,200
And in verse 31, it says, this
and immediately, Jesus stretched

413
00:28:01,200 –> 00:28:02,600
forth.
His hand and caught him and said

414
00:28:02,600 –> 00:28:03,800
unto him.
What you say on Tim?

415
00:28:03,800 –> 00:28:07,300
Do you say unto him?
You should know that this water

416
00:28:07,300 –> 00:28:10,300
walking isn’t for you.
No, not at all.

417
00:28:11,100 –> 00:28:13,500
He said o.
Thou of little faith.

418
00:28:14,000 –> 00:28:19,900
Wherefore didst thou doubt.
He didn’t tell him off but

419
00:28:19,900 –> 00:28:24,600
having a go, he castigate him
for his doubt.

420
00:28:26,800 –> 00:28:30,000
It was a good start by Peter, he
was getting there, he was

421
00:28:30,000 –> 00:28:35,000
starting to change.
But of course he falls this time

422
00:28:35,000 –> 00:28:38,500
at the second hurdle.
And here we come.

423
00:28:38,500 –> 00:28:41,900
Now to another little passage
and it’s in Matthew 17.

424
00:28:43,600 –> 00:28:46,000
And this is the number of
situations here with Peter.

425
00:28:46,000 –> 00:28:48,900
The Transfiguration passage
already mentioned and then, this

426
00:28:48,900 –> 00:28:50,600
situation here about the temple
tax.

427
00:28:51,000 –> 00:28:53,000
It’s just after.
Transfiguration, you can sort of

428
00:28:53,000 –> 00:28:56,500
understand a little bit of the
natural man coming out in Peter.

429
00:28:56,500 –> 00:28:59,200
Here, here’s a pattern, a bit of
a high had seen the

430
00:28:59,200 –> 00:29:04,200
Transfiguration and listen to
Jesus about and seen Jesus

431
00:29:04,200 –> 00:29:07,900
healed the boy with a demon and
then, of course the Pharisees

432
00:29:07,900 –> 00:29:12,100
come up to him and the tax
collectors come up with the cup.

433
00:29:12,400 –> 00:29:16,500
Tim and and say desert desert
does, your does your teacher

434
00:29:16,500 –> 00:29:21,800
paid the temple tax?
And in verse 25, you says yes.

435
00:29:23,600 –> 00:29:26,500
Where is come into the house?
Jesus, prevent him saying what

436
00:29:26,500 –> 00:29:29,500
thinkest, thou, Simon of whom do
the kings of the Earth take

437
00:29:29,500 –> 00:29:32,500
custom or tribute of their own
children or strangers.

438
00:29:33,000 –> 00:29:36,100
And Peter said, unto him of
strangers, use them to him.

439
00:29:36,900 –> 00:29:40,000
Then are the children, free,
notwithstanding, lest, we should

440
00:29:40,000 –> 00:29:43,100
offend them.
Go thou to the Sea and cast an

441
00:29:43,100 –> 00:29:46,400
hook and take up the fist that
first time if up.

442
00:29:46,500 –> 00:29:49,600
And when thou Hast opened his
mouth, Thou shalt find a piece

443
00:29:49,600 –> 00:29:53,200
of money and take and give unto
them for me.

444
00:29:53,600 –> 00:29:57,500
And day.
The shekel fish.

445
00:29:58,400 –> 00:30:01,800
Isn’t that a wonderful story?
I’d love to have been there.

446
00:30:02,500 –> 00:30:04,600
You can imagine.
Can’t you that Peter had been

447
00:30:04,600 –> 00:30:08,300
with Jesus now, but for a large
amount of time and he was

448
00:30:08,300 –> 00:30:11,300
understanding these
understanding more about Pete

449
00:30:11,300 –> 00:30:15,200
about Jesus and I’d love to have
been with with Peter because

450
00:30:15,200 –> 00:30:16,500
when he heard that, what you
think you might have done, you

451
00:30:16,500 –> 00:30:18,800
want to come said, come with me.
You guys watch this.

452
00:30:18,900 –> 00:30:21,400
I’m going to catch a fish.
The first dish I pull out.

453
00:30:21,400 –> 00:30:22,700
It’s going to have a shekel in
it.

454
00:30:23,800 –> 00:30:27,000
Watch this and he does and he
pulls out a fish.

455
00:30:27,100 –> 00:30:29,300
He opens his mouth and there’s
the shekel.

456
00:30:31,800 –> 00:30:38,000
If the atonement money.
The fish hat to die before

457
00:30:38,000 –> 00:30:40,200
yielding.
The atonement price.

458
00:30:41,900 –> 00:30:46,100
I don’t know whether Peter
recognize that at that time, but

459
00:30:46,100 –> 00:30:47,600
he absolutely recognize it
later.

460
00:30:49,800 –> 00:30:53,300
And of course, it was the sign
of Jonah that are just patterned

461
00:30:53,300 –> 00:30:58,900
two chapters earlier a couple of
other occasions when we see

462
00:30:59,300 –> 00:31:03,500
Peters, impetuosity, the
quelling of the storm in Mark 4

463
00:31:04,800 –> 00:31:07,100
teacher.
Do you care if we perish shouts

464
00:31:07,100 –> 00:31:11,600
Peter in John 18, The Cutting of
Marcus is here.

465
00:31:13,900 –> 00:31:18,800
Only 22 and Peter denies, Jesus
three times.

466
00:31:20,500 –> 00:31:23,500
But this one here in Luke and
John 21, I want you to turn to

467
00:31:23,500 –> 00:31:33,000
place.
This is the occasion.

468
00:31:34,800 –> 00:31:38,200
When?
This man Peter he’s getting

469
00:31:38,200 –> 00:31:39,500
there.
Isn’t a, you can sort of see the

470
00:31:39,500 –> 00:31:44,500
Snippets of Peter changing.
The impetuous man who’s a

471
00:31:44,500 –> 00:31:46,300
fisherman.
He’s a rough man.

472
00:31:47,200 –> 00:31:51,300
He cursed when he was told you,
you’re a Galilean, aren’t you?

473
00:31:51,600 –> 00:31:54,100
I can tell by your by your
dialect in the way that you

474
00:31:54,100 –> 00:31:58,100
looked.
I tell you that he cursed are

475
00:31:58,100 –> 00:32:00,100
not.
I don’t know this man.

476
00:32:01,900 –> 00:32:07,600
And then in John 21.
Afterward, after these things,

477
00:32:07,600 –> 00:32:10,500
Jesus showed himself again to
the disciples at the Sea of

478
00:32:10,500 –> 00:32:13,300
tiberias.
And on this wise showed he

479
00:32:13,300 –> 00:32:18,300
himself, They were together,
Simon Peter Thomas called

480
00:32:18,300 –> 00:32:21,700
didymus Nathanael of Cana in
Galilee the sons of Zebedee and

481
00:32:21,700 –> 00:32:23,300
two others of the disciples
eight of them.

482
00:32:23,300 –> 00:32:27,200
In all, of course, appropriate
Simon, Peter said unto them.

483
00:32:27,500 –> 00:32:29,800
I go a fishing, they say unto
him.

484
00:32:30,000 –> 00:32:33,100
We also go with thee.
They went forth and entered into

485
00:32:33,100 –> 00:32:36,200
a ship immediately and that
night, they caught nothing.

486
00:32:36,600 –> 00:32:40,300
All similar her.
But when the morning was now

487
00:32:40,300 –> 00:32:43,700
come Jesus, stood on the shore,
but the disciples knew not that

488
00:32:43,700 –> 00:32:47,300
it was Jesus.
Some night time.

489
00:32:47,300 –> 00:32:50,500
Fishing.
And he’s a shout out of your

490
00:32:50,500 –> 00:32:57,200
Courtney thing.
They didn’t recognize him. they

491
00:32:57,200 –> 00:33:00,500
said, and he said unto them,
cast the net on the right side

492
00:33:00,500 –> 00:33:07,800
of the ship and you’ll find And
they cast therefore and now they

493
00:33:07,800 –> 00:33:10,900
were not able to draw it for the
multitude of fishes.

494
00:33:12,300 –> 00:33:15,000
And therefore that disciple,
whom Jesus loves the gun to

495
00:33:15,000 –> 00:33:18,100
Peter.
It is the Lord karin-sama.

496
00:33:18,100 –> 00:33:21,900
Peter heard that it was the
Lord, he Girt his Fisher’s coat

497
00:33:21,900 –> 00:33:25,400
unto him.
He was naked and did cast

498
00:33:25,400 –> 00:33:30,300
himself into the sea.
This man, this man had denied.

499
00:33:30,400 –> 00:33:33,800
Jesus, just wanted to be with
Jesus again.

500
00:33:36,500 –> 00:33:40,100
When you put his coat on, I
don’t know about lots of

501
00:33:40,100 –> 00:33:44,200
different interpretations.
And then, when you’ve heard this

502
00:33:44,200 –> 00:33:48,500
13 put on his coat, because if
you’re going to jump into the

503
00:33:48,500 –> 00:33:51,100
sea, you wouldn’t put on your
coat, would you?

504
00:33:52,300 –> 00:33:54,600
Unless you were going to walk to
Jesus.

505
00:33:57,100 –> 00:34:02,200
I don’t know.
First nine of us eight puzzle

506
00:34:02,200 –> 00:34:05,000
and the other disciples came in
a little ship for they were not

507
00:34:05,000 –> 00:34:08,800
far from land, but as it were
two hundred cubits dragging the

508
00:34:08,800 –> 00:34:12,600
net with fishes and soon then as
they are come to the land, they

509
00:34:12,600 –> 00:34:15,400
saw a fire of coals there, isn’t
it?

510
00:34:15,400 –> 00:34:17,500
Wonderful.
How the scriptures just put in

511
00:34:17,500 –> 00:34:20,699
little bits in there?
Why do you always can always say

512
00:34:20,699 –> 00:34:22,199
when we read the scriptures?
Why?

513
00:34:22,500 –> 00:34:28,400
Why is that there?
Why does it say there was a

514
00:34:28,400 –> 00:34:29,900
fire?
Fire coals there.

515
00:34:31,100 –> 00:34:34,500
I’ll tell you why because it
occurs two chapters earlier.

516
00:34:36,300 –> 00:34:40,500
In chapter 18 of the F, Vector
chapter 18, and verse 18.

517
00:34:40,800 –> 00:34:44,000
And what happened there?
That was the occasion, when

518
00:34:44,199 –> 00:34:47,100
Peter denied.
Jesus, three times.

519
00:34:47,600 –> 00:34:51,400
And on this occasion, he says he
loves Jesus three times.

520
00:34:52,000 –> 00:34:56,199
That’s why it’s there just that
nice little linking to the

521
00:34:56,199 –> 00:35:01,100
previous occasion.
And the Fish made their own and

522
00:35:01,107 –> 00:35:03,500
bread and Jesus said unto him
bring of the fish, which have

523
00:35:03,500 –> 00:35:06,300
now caught and Simon, Peter went
up and Drew the net to land full

524
00:35:06,300 –> 00:35:10,400
of the great fish 153.
And for all that, there were so

525
00:35:10,400 –> 00:35:12,900
many yet, there was not that the
net wasn’t broken.

526
00:35:13,900 –> 00:35:19,100
How we time to read that many.
And now, think about this here,

527
00:35:19,100 –> 00:35:25,200
we have all this 153 fish, okay.
When the fisherman, the water,

528
00:35:25,400 –> 00:35:30,400
it helped his buoyancy and you
have a couple of boats.

529
00:35:31,800 –> 00:35:37,800
And these number of fishermen
who actually can’t drag the fish

530
00:35:37,800 –> 00:35:41,300
in.
But without the buoyancy of the

531
00:35:41,308 –> 00:35:44,300
water one man on his own managed
to pull it over.

532
00:35:44,900 –> 00:35:51,300
How did he do that?
Well, that’s a good question for

533
00:35:51,300 –> 00:35:55,400
you.
Is it perhaps that The Closer

534
00:35:55,400 –> 00:36:00,500
you get to Jesus?
The more powerful you become, I

535
00:36:00,500 –> 00:36:02,500
don’t know.
It’s a nice thought though,

536
00:36:02,500 –> 00:36:06,300
isn’t it?
And then of course we have in

537
00:36:06,300 –> 00:36:10,400
verse 15 that occasion.
So we need when they’re dying to

538
00:36:10,408 –> 00:36:14,100
your seventh Simon, Simon Peter
Simon son of Jonah.

539
00:36:14,600 –> 00:36:17,600
Lovest thou me more than these
he said unto him yea Lord thou

540
00:36:17,600 –> 00:36:20,800
knowest that I love thee.
And of course we have that

541
00:36:20,800 –> 00:36:25,900
situation about the the love of
the three times contrasted with

542
00:36:25,900 –> 00:36:30,800
the three denials.
It hasn’t changed enough

543
00:36:30,900 –> 00:36:34,100
completely just yet.
Drew course, it was the wrong

544
00:36:34,100 –> 00:36:40,100
type of love.
So you have a man here, who just

545
00:36:40,100 –> 00:36:42,300
in these chapters that we looked
at, you can say that he’s

546
00:36:42,300 –> 00:36:46,000
changing, not completely, but
he’s changing.

547
00:36:47,000 –> 00:36:49,800
And some of the fruit of the
spirit is coming through this

548
00:36:49,800 –> 00:36:52,600
man.
He is being transformed.

549
00:36:55,000 –> 00:36:59,800
And when we start to have a look
at some of the other passages,

550
00:36:59,800 –> 00:37:02,600
like this one in Acts chapter 2,
we shouldn’t look at it

551
00:37:02,600 –> 00:37:05,200
specifically.
It’s a gate, beautiful.

552
00:37:07,200 –> 00:37:08,700
And what happens at gate,
beautiful?

553
00:37:10,000 –> 00:37:11,800
Well, sorry the next chapter is
piece to dresser.

554
00:37:11,800 –> 00:37:18,300
I’m sorry piece of dress.
He understood what Jesus had

555
00:37:18,300 –> 00:37:22,200
been saying to him.
And he proclaimed it.

556
00:37:23,400 –> 00:37:28,500
There was therefore a great
understanding in the The Acts of

557
00:37:28,508 –> 00:37:33,000
the Apostles of this new man.
Peter you start to contrast

558
00:37:33,400 –> 00:37:40,000
Peter now.
So Peter that we first met And

559
00:37:40,000 –> 00:37:45,300
this man here in Acts chapter 2
is a man full of understanding.

560
00:37:48,800 –> 00:37:52,800
He’d appreciated what?
He had done that the denial.

561
00:37:53,400 –> 00:37:57,800
He appreciated that the cutting
up a mouth as his ear was not

562
00:37:57,900 –> 00:38:02,800
what Jesus wanted.
He appreciated what Jesus had

563
00:38:02,800 –> 00:38:05,300
been talking to him for those
three years.

564
00:38:07,500 –> 00:38:11,300
We read next chapter 3, this
time a gate, beautiful, where he

565
00:38:11,300 –> 00:38:17,000
says in the name of Jesus of
Nazareth walk.

566
00:38:19,400 –> 00:38:24,300
This is and miracle.
Can you imagine Peter walking up

567
00:38:24,300 –> 00:38:27,000
to gate beautiful and seeing
this beggar there?

568
00:38:27,500 –> 00:38:30,300
That I don’t have anything.
What I do have, I’m going to

569
00:38:30,300 –> 00:38:37,000
give you In the name of Jesus
Christ of Nazareth, walk that

570
00:38:37,000 –> 00:38:43,100
took enormous faith.
To know that what he said was

571
00:38:43,100 –> 00:38:51,400
going to happen. this man who
was castigated by Jesus for

572
00:38:51,400 –> 00:38:58,300
doubting Now walked at gate,
beautiful to see another man

573
00:38:58,300 –> 00:39:07,800
walk.
Annex 10 with Cornelius.

574
00:39:09,900 –> 00:39:14,500
Now that was Brave, wasn’t it?
That was incredibly Brave.

575
00:39:14,500 –> 00:39:19,000
This man who have been brought
up understanding and

576
00:39:19,000 –> 00:39:27,900
appreciating the Jewish way the
chosen people and he trusted the

577
00:39:27,900 –> 00:39:33,800
rules.
But here in Acts 10, he trusted

578
00:39:33,800 –> 00:39:39,300
God and what God showed him.
And he realized that what God

579
00:39:39,300 –> 00:39:43,000
showed him was greater than his
natural tendencies?

580
00:39:45,300 –> 00:39:47,700
And he appreciated that,
Christ’s death.

581
00:39:49,300 –> 00:39:54,300
His atonement was for all not
just the Jews.

582
00:39:56,400 –> 00:40:03,100
He understood the shekel fish.
And he really understood.

583
00:40:04,400 –> 00:40:08,200
The aspect of circumcision in SM
– Dean.

584
00:40:08,600 –> 00:40:16,200
I find this a really remarkable
little speech that that Peter

585
00:40:16,200 –> 00:40:22,800
gives That we have in our
community, many issues that

586
00:40:22,800 –> 00:40:34,000
that, that we struggle with.
Aspects of circumcision. and,

587
00:40:35,700 –> 00:40:41,600
Peter got up there in in verse 7
and when they’re be much

588
00:40:41,600 –> 00:40:45,300
disputing, Peter rose up and
said unto them men and Brethren,

589
00:40:45,800 –> 00:40:49,900
you know how?
But a good while ago God made

590
00:40:49,900 –> 00:40:53,700
Choice Among Us.
That the Gentiles by my mouth

591
00:40:54,100 –> 00:40:58,500
should hear the word of the
gospel and believe and God which

592
00:40:58,500 –> 00:41:01,500
knows the hearts bear them.
Witness giving them the Holy

593
00:41:01,500 –> 00:41:05,100
Spirit.
Even as he did unto us.

594
00:41:06,000 –> 00:41:10,100
But put no difference between us
and then purifying their hearts

595
00:41:10,100 –> 00:41:13,200
by faith.
Now, therefore white empty, God

596
00:41:13,500 –> 00:41:16,700
to put a yoke upon the neck of
the disciples, which neither our

597
00:41:16,700 –> 00:41:19,200
fathers, nor we were able to
Bear.

598
00:41:19,600 –> 00:41:22,900
But we believe that through the
grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.

599
00:41:23,100 –> 00:41:33,200
We shall be saved even as they
That took incredible

600
00:41:33,200 –> 00:41:36,900
understanding of what Jesus was
going on about.

601
00:41:40,000 –> 00:41:42,700
And it really did appreciate the
sign of Jonah.

602
00:41:43,200 –> 00:41:50,800
Jonah, the man who went to speak
to the Gentiles, And this was

603
00:41:50,800 –> 00:41:54,800
the sign of the Jen of Jonah
being fulfilled.

604
00:41:55,300 –> 00:42:02,900
And people understood that and
then you have the Epistles of

605
00:42:02,900 –> 00:42:07,400
Peter and when you look at the
offices of Peter, they seem a

606
00:42:07,408 –> 00:42:10,900
little bit disjointed.
But when you read Peter, 1 & 2

607
00:42:12,200 –> 00:42:15,100
What comes out true Grace comes
out.

608
00:42:17,000 –> 00:42:21,900
Certainly in 1 Peter.
And The Second Epistle, it’s all

609
00:42:21,908 –> 00:42:27,000
about faith and practice.
And that’s what we talked about

610
00:42:27,000 –> 00:42:32,600
yesterday and understanding that
enables us to be throughly,

611
00:42:32,700 –> 00:42:37,900
equipped in every good work
faith and practice.

612
00:42:40,700 –> 00:42:44,400
So, what is the conclusion then
the conclusion is this?

613
00:42:46,100 –> 00:42:52,600
Is that this man Peter was
absolutely transformed.

614
00:42:53,900 –> 00:42:59,400
He was an impetuous, man.
He was a man that was very

615
00:42:59,400 –> 00:43:08,100
natural. and some of the natural
man came through but during that

616
00:43:08,100 –> 00:43:14,000
period of time he transformed he
changed He was previously full

617
00:43:14,000 –> 00:43:20,200
of air, but gradually that are
was displaced by the fruit of

618
00:43:20,200 –> 00:43:25,200
the spirit.
And how did that happen?

619
00:43:28,300 –> 00:43:33,900
It happened because he spent
time with Jesus.

620
00:43:36,000 –> 00:43:42,600
That’s how he was transformed.
And that’s what we do with this.

621
00:43:43,500 –> 00:43:49,900
We spend time with Jesus. and
with this, we spend time with

622
00:43:49,900 –> 00:43:56,500
God and Jesus.
And then we too can also be

623
00:43:56,500 –> 00:44:00,000
transformed just like our
brother Peter.
