M. Glenn H. Davis, Evangelist Jesus' Choice of Apostles Made by Sea of Galilee By REV. JOHN GRANT NEWMAN, D. D.

The theme of this lesson is, Choosing Companions in Service. The Scripture text is Mark and 31-35. The Golden text is: "For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother." (Mark 3:35.) The general theme of our lessons throughout this Quarter is "Service." CHOICE OF APOSTLES This lesson is about the choice of companions in service that Jesus made. He chose twelve apostles, or disciples, to be His helpers. "Apostles" is the more meaningful name.

That word means those "sent word "disciples" means "learners." The apostles had all been "learners;" but when they were "sent out" to preach, they became "apostles." Every "apostle" had been a "disciple;" but by no means were all disciples apostles. You will see this distinction if you read John 6:66. Those who "went back and walked no more with him" were "disciples," but not "apostles." (See also Matt. 23:1.) The word "disciples" may mean many; or it may mean the "twelve" only. When the word "twelve" is used we know exactly who are meant; or when the word "apostles" is used, we likewise know.

The "twelve" are mentioned by name several times in the New Testament: Look at Matt. at Luke and Acts 1:13. (In this last passage Judas Iscariot does not appear, of course.) Wherever the full list does appear. Peter is always mentioned first and Judas Iscariot last. THIS LESSON In the presentation of this study let us come at it thus: increasing popularity of Jesus.

(Mark II, The appointment of "the twelve." (Mark III. The "twelve" named. (Mark IV. The one friendship that eclipses all other friendships. I.

INCREASING POPULARITY In these opening verses one detects the wide-spreading fame. of Jesus. He lived in Capernaum; by the sea of Galllee. He loved that Lake, and hence often resorted to its shores. On this particular occasion the people had thronged from everywhere to see and hear this Great New Teacher.

Not only from Galilee and Jerusalem had they come; but also from Idumea, in the far South; also from east of the Jordan; and from Tyre and Sidon, far to the North. His fame had spread everywhere. And His popularity with the common people equaled His fame. They had never seen or heard such a kind, generous, helpful friend. That is what He is yet.

The greatest friend men have ever known, or shall know. He is that both to the rich and the poor; to the learned or to the ignorant. He is our Immanuel! "God with us." The reason for this popularity, was that Jesus had "healed Had even cast out evil spirits, who, by the way, acknowledged Him 1 as "the Son of God." Devils all know Him! II.

Turck, general director of the board's Department of Social Education and Action, who was born in the South and has lived there practically all his life.

"I do not believe any large number of Southern people are afraid of Federal he continued. "The board's' support of the anti-lynching bill is in accordance with an action regarding the right of Negro to trial by jury adopted by eral Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America."

tomorrow, Peter, Andrew, James, John and Matthew. This "earlier call" was to become "disoiples." Now they, and seven others, were called to become "apostles." The mountain where this apostolic call was given, was probably somewhere, just "That west of they might Capernaum be with and him, and that he might send them forth to preach, and to have authority to cast out demons," was the reason, NOW WHAT? To this same Jesus; to this "call" and "sending" of these "twelve," (poor and unlearned as they were), the Christian church in the present world owes its glorious origin. We do not have to be rich, or learned, to be effective. To live with Jesus, and for Him, is to possess His Blessed Spirit. And that Spirit empowers us.

The greatest man in this world right now is he who lives closest to Christ. III. THE TWELVE NAMED Here is one of the places where these apostles are enrolled. In all lists where they are named in full, Peter comes first, and Judas the traitor, last. Dr.

Joseph Parker of London once said that he had never met a man who could name the "twelve apostles" in their order! Certain it Is that very few can do it. You might learn this list. IV. THE ECLIPSING FRIENDSHIP This section of this lesson (Mark 3: 31-35) follows, by some little time, the former part. Jesus was now back in Capernaum.

Services at 11 22-30 give us a "debate" that Jesus had with His This controversy, this throng, and His busy hours with no time to eat, diser and his half-brothers thought He tressed His closest friends; His motha was insane! (See 21.) They came to take Him home! Somebody told Jesus that His "mother and brethren sought for Him." HIS REPLY "Who is my mother and my brethren?" He, looking eager throng, asked this question. The answer to it taught them of a friendship that "eclipses all others." Jesus loved His mother and His brethren.

But the telling point is, that any one who "does the will of God," is His mother, sister and brother. He loves all who love God. REFLECTIONS 1. "We are here as apprentices to learn the art of service." 2. "Expect great things from God: then attempt great things for God."
