I am not going to discuss in any detail the beautiful story of the calling of the first disciples—full of instruction and inspiration though it is. My interest just now is not in the men who were called, but in the Man who called them; not in Andrew or John or James or even in Peter, but in Jesus. This verse from one point of view is a key to the character of Peter. It epitomizes his life story. For that is exactly what his life story is—it is the story of the evolution of Peter, the man of rock, out of the impulsive and unstable Simon. But this verse does more than give us an insight into Peter’s character; it is also a revelation of what I may term the method of Jesus, and it is from that point of view I want just now to look at it.
