JESUS APPEARS TO HIS DISCIPLES WHEN

THEY LEAST EXPECT HIM

+

Scripture Reading: Mark 16:9-20

Memory Verse: John 15:16.

1.      What command did Jesus give His disciples concerning preaching the Word? Mark 16:15; Matthew 28:19; Acts 1:8.

Note. We see in these verses that the disciples were commanded by Jesus to teach the Gospel to all nations, peoples and tongues, throughout the entire world. Until now the children of Israel were the only ones with whom the Lord had been dealing.

2.      Just before the Lord ascended to the heavens, where were the disciples gathered? John 21:2-3.

Note. All Peter had to do was to make a suggestion and immediately those who were with him followed. We need to be very careful what we as Christians suggest, for we too have an influence on those around us.

3.      What proves that the Lord was displeased with what they were doing? John 21:3, last part.

4.      Who appeared on the shore? John 21:4.

5.      What happened when they obeyed the Lord's command? John 21:6.

6.      Is it possible for us to accomplish anything without Him? John 15:5.

7.      What soul-searching question did Jesus ask Peter? John 21:15.

8.      How did Peter feel when the Lord asked him the third time if he really loved Him? John 21:17.

9.      When Peter saw the disciple whom the Lord loved following, what did he ask the Lord? John 21:20-21.

10.  Notice how the Lord told Peter not to look upon anybody else, but to follow the Lord regardless of all else. John 21.22.

Note. We may look around even as Peter did and watch someone else, as Peter looked upon those who were standing by. In order to please our Lord, we dare not be concerned with the people about us, but heed instruction, and follow the Lord in all things. Ephesians 5:1.
