*Biblical Discipleship #2*
*Lordship and Authority*
March 6th and 7th, 2004
Matthew 28
*/18 /**/Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in a the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
*[1]*/*
*/ /*
-Notice that Jesus had authority.
That is the umbrella of discipleship.
-He said to go make disciples by:
· */Identifying people publicly with Jesus/*
· */Teaching them to follow and obey Jesus’ instruction/*
*/ /*
-Last week we talked about the gap between believing and discipleship and the confusion that can cause.
-If we aren’t honestly following Jesus with our lives as well as our mouths we will have problems.
Luke 6
*/43 /**/“No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.
44 Each tree is recognized by its own fruit.
People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers.
45 The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart.
For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.
46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?
/* (that is the same thing as OBEY)*/ 47 I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice.
48 He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock.
When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.
49 But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation.
The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.”
*[2]* /*
*/ /*
-In order to be simple and avoid confusion we must be BELIEVING~/SPEAKING~/ACTING the same.
-We are looking at some very closely related terms:
· */Discipleship/*
· */Authority/*
· */Lordship/*
Luke 7
*/When Jesus had finished saying all this in the hearing of the people, he entered /**/Capernaum/**/.
2 There a centurion’s servant, whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die.
3 The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his servant.
4 When they came to Jesus, they pleaded earnestly with him, “This man deserves to have you do this, 5 because he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.”
6 So Jesus went with them.
/*
*/He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him: “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I do not deserve to have you come under my roof.
7 That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you.
But say the word, and my servant will be healed.
8 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me.
I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes.
I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
/*
*/9 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in /**/Israel/**/.”
10 Then the men who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant well.
*[3]*/*
*/ /*
-Jesus connected faith with authority.
This man received his answer because he understood the principle of authority.
*/ /*-This man had no problem with authority because he was in the military and understood the chain of command.
-People gave him orders and he gave orders.
-He was able to quench his natural spirit of rebellion and separate his self esteem from whether or not he could follow orders.
-One of the first real steps to discipleship is making Jesus Lord.
When we do that we come under authority.
We therefore have authority.
-You can’t have authority unless you come under authority.
· *We are born with rebellion in our hearts*
* *
Proverbs 22
*/15 /**/Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far from him.
/*[4]
-Satan led a rebellion in heaven.
-The sin issue in the world is really a rebellion and authority issue.
-Who is in charge?
-Satan wanted it to be him.
He got tired of God getting the glory and from his vantage point it looked doable.
He probably said; “I can do that.”
-The rebellion spread to earth and Adam and Eve rebelled against God.
They doubted His goodness and thought they didn’t need to follow Him.
-The whole issue of the Bible is; WHO ARE YOU GOING TO SERVE?
-Because of that it seems that the first whole sentence out of those little darling’s mouth is; */“YOU’RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME.”/*
-I have had other people’s kids say that to me!
-A little child has this seed of rebellion it was born with because of original sin.
-Learning to bring a child under authority is one of the greatest things you do as a parent.
(Like the Susanna Wesley tract about breaking a child’s will without crushing their spirit.
They don’t have to feel dominated or controlled, just submitted.)
-Salvation is establishing Jesus as the boss of me.
-It is returning to the Lordship of God that Adam and Eve walked away from.
-Damion Frederick gave me a testimony because he works in a jail.
He said that most of the people he encounters in jail simply have an authority problem.
(testimony from him if present)
-Possibly one of the greatest forms of child abuse is never challenging that will in your children.
-They yell at teachers, get fired, and sometimes end up in jail.
-They are limited where they can work because they can never work for someone they don’t really like.
· *THE PRINCIPLE OF AUTHORITY IS FROM GOD*
Romans 13
*/Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established.
The authorities that exist have been established by God.
2 Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong.
Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority?
Then do what is right and he will commend you.
4 For he is God’s servant to do you good.
But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing.
He is God’s servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.
5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience.
*[5]* /*
*/ /*
-Authority is given to protect us.
-It is a safeguard to a society.
-The purpose of Godly authority is to keep order in a fallen world so we can tell them about Jesus.
-Speed limit laws aren’t given to limit you; they are given to keep someone from crashing into the back of your car.
-Authority gives you the protection you need to live safely in a fallen culture.
-We see King David coming under the authority of Saul even though he wasn’t a perfect authority.
-That showed tremendous character in him.
· *BIBLICAL AUTHORITY BEGINS BY SUBMITTING TO THE LORDSHIP OF JESUS*
