B. Today’s Sermon:
This week we will look at how God chose to reveal Himself to as:
El Roi- The God Who Sees Me
Immanuel- God with us; I am
Jehovah-Tsidkenu- The Lord, Our Righteousness
We move along and find out more and more about the Father God, I have a question for you: WHY does God choose to reveal Himself to us? (The audience’s answers may vary).
Look over at someone and say, El Roi, Immanuel, and Jehovah-Tsidkenu.
We will see how God is revealed to us in His Word as El Roi, Immanuel and Jehovah-Tsidkenu when we look more closely at the following points:
First, let’s look at El Roi- The God who sees me:
Did you know that there are no circumstances in our lives that escape His fatherly awareness and care?
1 O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.
2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, Thou understandest my thought afar off.
3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, And art acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word in my tongue, But, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.
5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, And laid thine hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain unto it.
7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: If I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, And thy right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; Even the night shall be light about me.
12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; But the night shineth as the day: The darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
13 For thou hast possessed my reins: Thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Marvellous are thy works; And that my soul knoweth right well.
15 My substance was not hid from thee, When I was made in secret, And curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; And in thy book all my members were written, Which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
God sees and knows us AND our troubles.
11 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the Lord hath heard thy affliction.
12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
13 And she called the name of the Lord that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?
14 Wherefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
God knows our thoughts and feelings. Jesus knew the thoughts of those around Him, demonstrating that He is El Roi.
18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
21 And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
22 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?
23 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?
24 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.
Secondly, Immanuel means that God is with us; He is the great I Am.
Jesus was more than just a man; He was God in our midst:
14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, And shall call his name Immanuel.
8 And he shall pass through Judah; He shall overflow and go over, He shall reach even to the neck; And the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.
9 Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; And give ear, all ye of far countries: Gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; Gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.
10 Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; Speak the word, and it shall not stand: For God is with us.
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
In Him all the fullness of the deity dwells in bodily form: He is the radiance of God’s Glory and the exact representation of His nature.
3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
Lastly, let’s look at how God chose to reveal Himself as Jehovah-Tsidkenu: The Lord, Our Righteousness.
Jesus is the One who would come from David’s lineage. God promised to send a King who would reign wisely, just and right, so that the people could live in safety.
5 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
All people sin and fall short of the Glory of God. God knows that and that is why He is the One who imparts His Righteousness to us through Jesus.
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
28 And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
29 I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you.
30 And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen.
31 Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.
32 Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord God, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel.
33 Thus saith the Lord God; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded.
34 And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by.
35 And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited.
36 Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the Lord build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate: I the Lord have spoken it, and I will do it.
Conclusion:
With every head bowed and every eye closed:
For altar call, play “You’re All I Want” by Michael W. Smith.
Make the following appeals:
Is anyone in need of repenting for anything this morning?
Have you been walking in your feelings, in doubt, perhaps in fear?
What need is it that you have for the Lord to meet?
Have you accepted the ultimate sacrifice that Jesus made for you?
Do you feel like other people’s needs are worthy of being met and not yours?
If you asked yourself those questions and found that you need prayer for any of those areas, then come this morning as the altar is open for us all.
Let us seek our All-Seeing, Ever-Present, and Righteous Lord this morning and love on Him.
No one will judge you today…come as you are...
Now remember that whoever comes to God, must first believe that He is and that He alone is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
How many are willing to cry out this morning:
God, I need to know you as:
El-Roi- The God Who sees me
Immanuel- God with us; The great I Am
Jehovah-Tsidkenu- The Lord, Our Righteousness!
