ME IN CHRIST
JOHN 10:
LAST WEEK WE LOOKED AT THE GOOD SHEPHERD ENTERING INTO THE FOLD OF OUR LIVES - CHRIST IN US
SHEEPFOLD SLIDE
NOW IN THIS SECOND PARABLE HE ELABORATES IN GREAT DETAIL WHAT IT MEANS FOR MANKIND TO ENTER INTO HIS LIFE.
WE COME INTO HIS CARE
HIS MANAGEMENT
REVEL IN THE ABUNDANCE OF HIS LIFE
AGAIN I MUST POINT OUT THAT AT THE ENDO FOR JESUS’S TEACHING ON EARTH THEY DECLARED HIM TO BE INSANE.
IT WAS THE WOMAN THAT WAS HEALED WITH THE ISSUE OF BLOOD, THE BLIND MAN WHO SAW AGAIN AND THE LAME THAT COULD WALK AGAIN THAT TRULY SAW AND WERE TRANSFORMED AND KNEW THAT GOD HAD ENTERED INTO THIER LIVES.
AS WE LOOK AT AND STUDY THE STATEMENTS THAT JESUS MADE WE TOO CAN ENTER INTO THAT NEW AND DEEPER RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST.
“I AM THE DOOR OF THE SHEEP”
PICTURE OF DOORWAY
OFTEN WE HAVE THE WRONG PICTURE OF WHAT CHRIST MEANT BY ANNOUNCING HE IS THE DOORWAY.
THE WHOLE PROCESS OF MANAGING THE SHEEP OR OF FOLDING THE SHEEP IS THE CONTROL OF THE DOORWAYS AND GATEWAYS.
IT IS ABOUT THE OPENING AND CLOSING OF THESE DOORWAYS AS THE SHEEP MOVE METHODICALLY IN AND OUT FROM PLACE TO PLACE.
THE SEEP HAVE BOTH AN INTERIOR LIFE - WITHIN THE SHELTER AND AN EXTERIOR LIFE - OUTSIDE.
IN THE EXPERIENCE OF EVERY CHRISTIAN WHO’S LIFE CHRIST HAS ENTERED BY HIS GRACIOUS SPIRIT - THERE ARE TWO DISTINCT REAS OF LIVING.
THE INNER LIFE
PERSONAL
PRIVATE
PRECIOUS COMMUNION WHICH A PERSON ENJOYS WITHIN THE INNER SANCTUM OF HIS OWN SOUL AND SPIRIT.
THEN THERE IS THAT
EXTERIOUR LIFE
CONTACT WITH FELLOW CHRISTIANS
REACHES OUT TO TOUCH ALL THE WORLD AROUND US
THIS IS WHERE THOUSANDS OF CONTACTS ARE MADE IN A LIFETIME
THE PERSON UNDER CHRIST’S CONTROL WILL SENSE AND KNOW THE HAND OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD DIRECTING THEM IN BOTH AREAS.
IT IS THROUGH HIM THAT WE PASS IN AND OUT PEACEFULLY WHEREVER HE LEADS US.
THE DOORWAY WAS OF TREMENDOUS IMPORTANCE IN HEBREW TRADITION AND THOUGHT.
MUCH MORE SO THAN WITH OUR CULTURE.
IT WAS AGAINST THIS BACKGROUND THAT JESUS MADE THIS STATEMENT THAT “I AM THE DOOR”
THE NATION OF ISREAL WERE UNDER THE LORDSHIP OF THE EGYPTIANS AND ENSLAVED TO THEM.
THE FINAL ACT OF THIER EMANCIPATION OR FREEDOM HAD TO DO WITH THE DOOR OF EACH MANS HOME.
SLIDE OF DOORWAY
A SPOTLESS PASSOVER LAMB WAS TO BE SLAUGHTERED FOR EACH HOUSEHOLD AND THE BLOOD SMEARED OVER THE LINTEL AND THE DOORPOSTS.
EACH PERSON ENTERING THAT HOUSE WAS UNDER THE PROTECTION AND SAFETY FROM THE DESTROYING ANGEL WHO SWEPT THROUGH EGYPT IN THE DARKNESS.
BUT IT WAS ALSO BY THAT SAME DOOR THAT THEY STEPPED OUT INTO FREEDOM AND LIBERTY.
IT WAS THE BLOOD OF THAT LAMB THAT PAID THE PRICE FOR THIER FREEDOM AND SO IT IS WITH CHRIST - HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE BECOMING THE VERY DOORWAY FOR US.
WE SEE LATER IN THE HISTORY OF THE NATION OF ISREAL THAT THEY WERE GIVEN SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING THE DOORWAY TO A MANS HOME.
THE LAWS AND COMMANDMENTS WERE TO BE INSCRIBED ON LONG THIN STRIPS OF PARCHMENT THESE WERE TO BE CAREFULLY WRAPPED AROUND EACH OF THE DOOR[OSTS WHICH A PERSON PASSED IN AND OUT OF HIS HOME.
THUS THEY WERE CONTINUALLY REMINDED AND ANY FRIEND OR STRANGER THAT VISITED THAT THEY WERE UNDER THE CONTROL OF GOD AND THEIR GOING IN AND COMING OUT FROM THAT TIME FORTH WERE UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF GOD’S WORD.
IT WAS THERE THEY FOUND SWEET SERENITY WITHIN AND SAFETY WITHOUT.
JEHOVAH GOD WAS WITH THEM TO GUIDE AND DIRECT.
THIS WAS NOT A WIDE OPEN GATE BUT A RESTRICTED ONE, JESUS MENTIONED THIS TO US IN THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT.
THERE WAS ONLY ONE WAY IN AND ONE WAY OUT.
JESUS IS SAYING I AM THE WAY IN AND THROUGH WHICH ANYONE CAN ENTER INTO A SPLENDID NEW LIFE WITH GOD.
THIS IS THE MAIN THRUST OF THE ENTIRE NEW TESTAMENT - IT IS IN AND THROUGH CHRIST WE LIVE!
THROUGH JESUS CHRIST
I HAVE PEACE WITH GOD
I AM JUSTIFIED
I AM FORGIVEN MY FALIURES AND SINS
I AM ACCEPTED INTO GOD’S FAMILY
I AM SET FREE FROM SLAVERY TO AND SELF
I AM RESURRECTED
I HAVE IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO GOD IN PRAYER
EXOSDUS 1:15
HE AND ONLY HE IS THE DOORWAY TO ABUNDANT LIVING
WE SAW LAST WEEK THAT WHOEVER PRECEDED CHRIST WAS A THIEF AND A ROBBER IN THAT INTRODUCING US TO OUR OWN THING TO GO OUR OWN WAY THEY HAVE ROBBED US OF OUR RIGHTFUL INHERITANCE.
WE ARE ENCOURAGE TODAY TO BE SELF SEEKING
IT IS A SLOW FADE AND LITTLE BY LITTLE AS TIME GOES ON MANY WALK AWAY AND REJECT THAT THE STANDARDS ESTABLISHED BY GOD AS BEING RELATIVE TO OUR DAY AND AGE.
WHEN WE WALK AWAY FROM GOD’S DIRECTIONS AND GET CAUGHT UP IN THE WORLD LIFE BECOMES A MEANINGLESS MOCKERY.
GODS VALUES OF:
INTEGRITY - (STRONG MORAL PRINCIPLES)
LOYALTY
JUSTICE
HONOUR
LOVE AND FINE NOBILTY
ARE REPLACED BY (WITHOUT GOD)
IMPOVERISHED PEOPLE
DISCOURAGED
DESPAIR
ROBBED BLIND AND LEFT DESTITUTE
BROKEN LIVES
BROKEN HOMES
BROKEN HEARTS
BROKEN MINDS
BROKEN BODIES
BROKEN SOCIETY
THE SECOND WAY WE IGNORE THE FACT THAT JESUS IS THE WAY IS BY GOING BACK TO THE VERY FIRST COMMANDMENT THAT GOD GAVE TO MOSES
YOU WILL HAVE NO OTHER GOD’S BEFORE ME...
TO GIVE OURSELVES AND OUR ALLEGIANCE TO ANY OTHER IS TO IMPOVERISH ( EXHAUST THE STRENGTH) OURSELVES - IT IS NEVER TO KNOW THE BEST.
WE BARTER AWAY OUR BIRTHRIGHT
REMEMBER ESAU - WHO TRADED HIS BIRTHRIGHT FOR A BOWL OF STEW.
HE STTOD TO GAIN 2/3 OF HIS FATHERS ESTATE YET HE CHOSE TO GIVE IT AWAY FOR A MOMENTARY PLEASURE.
FOR HIM IT WAS FOOD - WHAT IS YOURS?
WHATEVER IT IS TO WHICH I GIVE MOST OF MY ATTENTION, TIME, THOUGHT STRENGTH AND INTEREST, BECOMES MY GOD.
MY HOME
HEALTH
MY FAMILY
CAREER
HOBBY
ENTERTAINMENT
MONEY
A PERSON
IT DOES NOT MATTER IF WE DO THIS INDIVIDUALLY OR COLLECTIVELY THE END RESULT IS ALWAYS RETROGRESSION AND REMORSE.
DESPITE WARNINGS WE WILL ALWAYS FIND THOSE WHO IN BLIND FEAR OR UNAWARENESS THEY WILL STAN ROOTED ON THE SPOT WATCHIG THEIR COMPANIONS BEING CUT TO THREADS
GODS PEOPLE ARE CONTINUALLY COMING UNDER THREAT AND ATTACK FROM WITHOUT AND WITHIN - YET MANY ARE UNABLE TO DETECT DANGER AMONG OUR NUMBER.
IT IS AS THOUGH WE ARE BLIND.
PREDATORS ARE VERY CRAFT AND CUNNING.
