I was given the privilege to eulogize my Grandfather at his funeral.
I wanted to highlight what I thought was his best characteristic, which was his sense of humor and his zeal for life.
So I started off by telling a proctologist joke.
If you didn’t know my grandfather well, you would have likely been offended and confused why some guy was telling an off color joke at a funeral.
My purpose wasn’t to introduce my Pa Paw to people that didn’t know him, but was to memorialize him with those that did.
For the next several weeks we are going to be looking at the Gospel of John.
And to be clear: I am not the apostle John, and my grandfather wasn’t Jesus, and most importantly, you don’t eulogize the living, you introduce them.
Most of the time if you introduce someone, you do so by saying how they are related to you.
Shane at his work: This is my pastor.
My Wife.
But sometimes, the person you are introducing is so important, you hold in such high regard, you introduce them by their own authority.
Jordon took me to the Beast Feast at Central Baptist Church last Thursday and I met Dr. Sunny Tucker.
(He was a regular guy, country, turkey hunter, rides a motorcycle) Executive Director of Arkansas Baptist State Convention.
This morning, through the Gospel of John, we will be introduced to Jesus.
Even though you may know Jesus as your savior, and you relate to Him as that, but it’s important for us not to lose sight of who He is.
And if you don’t know Christ as your savior, John does a masterful job at the introduction.
In the beginning
Genesis 1:
Already there
With (face to face) separate but in a relationship with God.
When you take you have God, you have the spirit of God and now you have the Word.
The Word
Genesis 1:
verse 3: All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.
Isia
The Light
Life - Light
Darkness did not comprehend it.
Foreshadowing that the Jewish people would reject him.
John the Baptist
John 1:
Followers of John - People that believed John’s message of repentance, but never accepted Jesus.
People today that get cleaned up, come to church, hang out with Christians and their life is improved.
The Church is not the Light.
Children of God
John 1:10-
General revelation only goes so far.
You must be introduced to Jesus.
Rejected by the Jews.
To them He gave the Right
exousia
exousia
Declaration of Independence:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
If you have accepted Christ He gave you the Right to be a child of God.
That cannot be taken from you.
Full of Grace and Truth
John 1:14
Do these Jeans make me look fat?
Grace without truth is patronizing flattery.
Truth without grace is cold and hard.
Have you met Jesus?
