Approach: This lesson asks, "why did Andrew and Simon follow Jesus when He called?" Would you
follow a stranger obediently.
Hermeneutic objective: Learning how to observe for the context of time to understand the
sequence of events.
Theological objective: Andrew was a disciple of John the Baptist who identified Jesus as the
Christ Messiah. He told his brother Simon who was also an Old Testament Believer, and both went to visit
Jesus. So both Andrew and his brother Simon knew Jesus before He came to the Sea of Galilee and called them
to "follow" Him.
