The wicked people who will not love Jesus, have no Heavenly Father to care for them, for God is only the Heavenly Father to those that love and trust Him. Closing Prayer: Our dear Heavenly Father, we thank thee for thy loving watch and care over us, and help us to remember thy loving care over us.

He sees that the sun is always up on time every morning to give us light and warmth, and He sends the rain to make things grow.

They came and saw where he dwelt, ' and abode w ith him th a t day: for it was about the ten th hour. (40) One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him,* was Andrew, Simon P eter s brother. (41) He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messiah, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. (42) And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou a rt Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.. (43) The day following Jesus would go forth into Gal ilee, nad findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me. (44) Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Christ, Our Saviour. “Sin is no mere theological dogma, but a tremendous experience of the human soul” was the very orthodox declaration one LESSON EXPOSITION John H.
