Barnabas Factor Chapter 12
Our book begins stating a sad fact.
“it seems that many people consider themselves society’s personal medical team.
They think it is incumbent upon them to examine everyone’s speech, dress and actions.
Quickly they pass over the good traits to focus on any flaw they can find.
When a shortcoming is spotted they magnify it out of proportion to reality. the final step is to spread the word to whoever will listen.”
we dont want to catch that disease that person has.
This has always been the case, in Bible times, 50 years ago, 30 years ago and today.
Many people say today is worse.
Today it is easier to shame someone, just post it on social media, and in this way it can and often does spread more rapidly.
Peter gives us great advice on this subject.
1 Peter 3:8-12
When thinking of an example to help us understand how true this is I thought of a growing problem in the world and within the church.
We as a society have labeled the newer generations with a disease.
the millennial and iGen are BAD.
Yes I have an opinion, I am a millennial and my children are both iGens.
Milennials are opinionated, offended so easily, liberal, just typically viewed as a wasted group.
Are there people like that, for certain.
Are those people in the Baby Boomers or Generation X, yep they existed then also.
We are often described as a lazy generation.
Now, I can laugh at the Millennial costumes with the best of people.
Now in the same regard, the Millennials have stereotyped older generations and that is wrong.
Every generation has its goods and bads.
Even in Bible times.
So much good comes out of each generation if thats what you focus on.
Are you a glass is half full or half empty kind of person?
From the “silent generation” came several great movements and people.
(Martin Luther King, rosa parks)
This name came from the children in this time were expected to work hard and be quiet.
It was commonly understood that children should not be seen or heard.
This generation can often be stereotyped as unwavering to change, but at one time these people started the civil rights movement.
-Martin Luther King
-strong individuals that many lived through the depression
-
We can look at negatives and stereotypes and dismiss an entire group of people.
Or we can focus on the good in them.
It is all about what you focus on as to what you will see.
I see the silent generation as those that are hard working, survivors.
They sacrificed much and have lived through a lot of changes, many they helped begin.
I see the millennials generation that is pushing boundaries, making technological advances that are astounding, and asking why.
Within the church alone, more people are asking why.
Not just taking the preachers word for it, but studying.
I am proud to be in this group.
Just within our congregation our millennials are hard working Bible students.
Here are a few statistics.
Millennials as employees
Millennials Statistics
Are there bad things?
Yes!!! 39% are satisfied with the way things are going in the country.
that number is far too large.
but consider the other side that 61% are not happy.
By next year, millennials will account for 36% of the U.S. workforce and by 2025, they will account for 75% of the global workplace.
[U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics / The Business and Professional Women’s Foundation]41% of millennials do what their managers tell them to do, which is greater than older generations.
[Strategy+Business]84% say that helping to make a positive difference in the world is more important than professional recognition.
Ok so why bring this up?
we often make snap judgements.
Largely based off what we see online about people and groups of people.
We see a photo of a teenage girl going to Prom and instantly think she is going to do something terrible tonight and she is a terrible person.
We see an old man snap at a chid and think they are just a rude grumpy person- they may just be a suffering through illness or having a bad day but we judged them by what we saw.
We need to be a people that is looking at the world like Jesus did, which is our chapter today.
Today we are learning about How Jesus responds to the world.
We are given a Biblical example of how to handle situations.
If you see something is wrong, or someone is doing wrong to you.
Talk to them.
The church is a spiritual center for disease control.
but it does have strict standards.
Love, humility, and consideration are at the core of the Christians code of ethics.
I saw a shirt once that said.
The church: a hospital for sinners not a museum for saints.
We all need Jesus and his grace.
When Jesus looked at a person, yes he saw the sin, but he didn’t focus there.
He concentrated on the good and enlarged it.
Our book has us pulling “medical charts” of people we see in scripture.
Chart #1 Simon
Cephas translated means stone or rock.
It was Simon Peters brother Andrew who first recommended Jesus to him.
When Andrew spoke to Jesus, he followed him.
Then he ran to tell Simon Peter.
He then took Simon to Jesus.
Jesus looked at Simon and this is what most would have seen...
Simon
good-ole-boy
unstable
impulsive
rash
He would falter in faith
He would break promises
Sim would sink into the Sea of Galilee because he lacked faith
He would deny Him
Here is what Jesus saw.
Simon Peter; Cephas
someone who would be steady in the face of duty and trial.
He would make a grand confession “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God”
When Jesus was not popular and people were leaving Peter would say “Lord to whom shall we go?
You alone have the words of life.”
Peter would preach the first gospel sermon.
His determination helped him to not give in to the Sanhedrin’s desire for him to not preach.
Peter would become an elder in the Lord’s church
He would write letters to the saints, encouraging them to persevere in the midst of hardship.
Jesus did not confine his thoughts to what Simon was at the moment.
He saw what he could be an challenged him to live up to it.
