red letters are letters of Jesus
extremely powerful words
Who wants to be happy?
let’s see what Jesus says about being happy
1st what did Jesus NOT say about it
go into all of the world and preach whatever makes people happy
whoever wants to be my disciple must affirm themselves, avoid the cross, and follow their own heart
ask and it will be given to you, because God is your heavenly sugar daddy
Jesus never said any of that!
John 8:
Jesus teaching Bible in town square
where is the man that was committing this sin with her?
what were these men doing to bump into this lady in the act?
she was probably barely dressed
humiliating
they were bringing her before Jesus to try to trip Him up
stop at “against him”
Complicated: Law of Moses
she is guilty (stoned)
Jesus agree - lose reputation of being loving
if he says to let this one slide then He is condoning adultery
what did Jesus write
don’t know for sure
later manuscripts - wrote sins of accusers
graf-in to write down
kata grafin - kata against
write down against someone
maybe he began writing down sins against those accusing
without sin - without even wanting to
why is it so easy to see the sin in others but yet so hard to see the sin in self?
I preach on loving others, taking every opportunity for Gospel, life in secret should match life in public or in church
not very long ago I was at work and I got a phone call at the shop phone
so I am working on a car,
jump up and run to the phone
and it’s a telemarketer
had about 8 already that day
and I let him know how big of a waste of time that he was and that his company was stealing from our business by making these bogus calls and that I never wanted to hear from him again
my dad overheard his pastor on the phone with a telemarketer and confronted me about it
John
GO AND DO WHATEVER MAKES YOU HAPPY
GO NOW AND FOLLOW YOUR HEART
DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOU DO
YOU DO YOU
YOLO
other translations say :Go now and leave your life of sin”
GO NOW - URGENT
leave your life of sin
sin no more
be different
be free
full of love and urgency
don’t need to live in shame
your free
you don’t have to live in darkness
no longer hostage to sin
Why do we give into the temptation of sin?
sounds fun
(It is fun)
pleasure for a season
if you don’t think that sin was fun that you didn’t do it right
but it’s empty and leads to death
sin promises satisfaction at the cost of disobedience to God and eventual pain to you
Woman:
maybe she was evil and wicked and wanted to be a home wrecker and destroy somone elses marriage
probably not
maybe she was in a marriage that went flat
husband took her granted
inattentive to her
maybe verbally abusive
maybe she got a new job to feel better about herself
one day she is talking to a guy at the office
nice guy
attention and compliments at work
notices her hair
INNOCENT
nothing wrong
funny
thoughtful
comments on her FB
one day they both find themselves working late
tired
connected
maybe at this point she is thinking that she wishes that her husband was more like him
her bestfriend says to her “follow your heart”
one thing leads to another....
don’t know how it happened
but step by step
finds herself barely dressed in a place of complete shame in public
why do we find oursleves in a place
we live in a place that beleives that there is no absolute truth
you believe what you believe and I’ll believe what I believe
without a belief in absolute truth
truth is defined by whatever makes me happy
when the bottom line is my happiness
then happiness becomes the standard by which I judge my actions
know it’s wrong but it feels so right!
problem is that so many of us think that happiness and holiness are at odds
choose one or the other
holiness = miserable existence
God is not in heaven looking down at us saying that He wants us to be holy and miserable
