LAST WEEK
We looked at the aorist imperative of the command to go
We looked at who the disciples were to go to
We looked at the logistics of being sent
What they were to take
What they were not to take
We also looked at what happens when a city or town rejects you
How they disciples were to treat them
How it would be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah than for a Jewish city to reject the message of the Gospel
THIS WEEK
We are going to continue to look at what it means to be sent
What it looked like for the apostles to be sent
What it meant to be a disciple of Jesus
Remember
When you decided to sit under a Rabbi
When you decided to sit under someones teaching
When you decided to follow after a Teacher
You would take on their identity
You would be acquainted with Him
You would be recognized as one like him
So how did Jesus prepare them for this mission?
What was going through the minds of the disciples?
What was the goal of going out?
READ
PRAY THAT GOD WOULD GIVE US THE COURAGE TO FOLLOW HIM WITH GREATER PASSION AND FERVOR
: 24
Jesus is beginning to paint the picture of what the Disciples will encounter on the mission field
If you are a disciple of Jesus
A student of Jesus
One actively serving Jesus
Don’t think it strange when you are treated just like Jesus was treated
Don’t be shocked when the people that you thought were your peeps, who usher you in with palm frawns, turn their backs on you and yell “Crucify” Him.
A Disciple is not greater than his teacher, Nor a slave greater than his master
Nor a slave greater than his master
Therefore, what makes us think we will be treated better than Jesus was treated?
What makes us think that we deserve to be treated better than Jesus was treated?
If they called Jesus, the master of the House of Satan
What makes us think that they wont call us Satanic
What makes us think that they wont misunderstand us
If we are in constant opposition to with the nature of this world, what makes us think that the world will let us be?
We must remember that we are intrinsically different from this world
Jesus called us the salt of the earth
Jesus called us the light of the world
If our light is shinning in the dark places
The darkness flees because it doesn’t comprehend the light
The darkness is at war with the light
The darkness of this world retreats from the light
A lot of the time
But, when our light is dim, the darkness of this world puts up a fight.
Jesus says
Don’t fear those hating on you
Don’t fear those who are mistaking the light for darkness
Don’t fear those who misunderstand you
Who call you
For there is nothing covered
Nothing that is in darkness
That won’t be revealed
There is nothing hidden
Nothing that you or this world is trying to cover up
That will not be made known
Notice that this is a general statement impacting both parties
The persecuted and the persecutor
It would be a shame for us
To be preachers of righteousness
While living a life of sinfulness
It would be sad for us
To fill our feeds with Christian Jargon
While Using our Social Media Facade to cover up our sinful nature.
Matthew 10:27-
Matthew 10:27-
THE REALITY IS: The more we hide the darkest parts of our lives, The more will be exposed when Jesus shines his light on it.
The more we hide the darkest parts of our lives, The more will be exposed when Jesus shines his light on it.
The more will be exposed when Jesus shines his light on it.
Now, here is the rad part about God’s Omnipresence
Whether we are in a dark place,
Whether we are in a good place,
Wherever we are in this journey of faith
Wherever you are, God is able to speak
The questions are,
Are you making time to listen?
Are you willing to hear what He has to say?
More importantly, are you willing to be his mouthpiece
Jesus says, whatever I speak to you in private, or in the dark place
Speak in the light
Whatever I whisper into your ear
Preach from the rooftops
That word preach is Kerysso
To proclaim
Guess what tense it is in?
The Aorist Imperative
Both Eipon/Speak and Kerysso/Preach are in this tense
Making it a non negotiable.
Most of us are scared to preach
We get anxious what we say
We get nervous about how they will respond
We begin to fear what the outcome will be
But guess what is also in aorist imperative tense?
DO NOT FEAR
Do not fear humanity in communicating what God has spoken to you
Do not fear man, or his response to the Good News of Jesus Christ
Do not fear those, who can kill the body, but cannot kill the soul
