Don’t Give Up
Imagine what it was like to be Simon Peter as he came to meet, then know and discipleunder the Messiah. Israel had long awaited their Menachem, or “the one who consoles.”Peter and Andrew were ardent followers of John the Baptizer, and very eager to shifttheir allegiance to the one whom John the Baptist acknowledged as the Christ. For threeyears Peter followed our Lord, listening to His words, seeing the miracles, and waitingfor the Kingdom. Then things began to change.Jesus began to insist on His equality with God and many began to leave. The scenearound Him became hostile. One day Peter found himself, with the other eleven, in anupper room listening about impending death and seeming defeat! He wouldn’t have it!But we read that in that very room, Jesus told Peter that he would deny Him…and hedid! To his trepidation, Peter is then a witness to the horrific scourging and crucifixion ofChrist.

Seven of the eleven were sitting there wondering what’s next. Peter said, “Idon’t know about the rest of you… but I’m going back to being a fisherman!” and the restsaid they would go with him—so they went out and got into the boat.The language used there (“the boat”) indicates that there was a familiarity to that itembeing discussed. It basically meant, the old standby, familiar boat—the one he alwayshad, the one that he had left on at least two other occasions in the aorist tense; a once
