15. SO HOW DID PETER GET THIS RIGHT?
He understood FAITH, he understood Forsaking, and He understood Following.

16. FAITH v. 18 , saw two brothers
The Greek word helps us understand that the word for saw means "to see with the mind" (i.e. spiritually see), i.e. perceive (with inward spiritual perception).

17. 2) FORSAKING How do we know PETER forsook all and followed?
V. 22 and immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.

18. Matthew 19:23-30
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” 25 When His disciples heard it, they

were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?” 26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” 27 Then Peter answered and said to Him, “See, we have left all and followed You. Therefore what shall we have?” 28 So Jesus said

20. to them, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or

21. lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life. 30 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.

22. 3) FOLLOWING
v Follow Me
PETER WAS more than a Fan of JESUS. He was a FOLLOWER. He was not just part of the crowd.
