Sermon Tone Analysis

It Is Simple And Plain!

Typically, we over-complicate things due to human nature; primarily because we are more focused on confounding the circumstances, or life, to our thinking, instead of realizing that God’s Will for our life is much greater than we can imagine!

This is what we will say at times, when we come out of one thing, celebrate, feel good about coming out, then something else comes up; this is what we will say: “It Is Always Something. .

.”

It may seem like it is always something, but you cannot let that rise above The Knowledge Of Our Father, Whom is Always With You!

Jesus did not come with eloquent speech, mystical talk, difficult precepts; He came in the likeness of sinful flesh, an example for you and me to realize that although we may be in this world, we do not have to live according to it’s complicated systems!

Do not get me wrong, yes, we render unto Caesar, what belongs to Caesar; they tried to provide a pitfall for Jesus, but He just looked at the money and literally demonstrated to us how simple and plain it is; Matthew 22:21 (NKJV) 21 They said to Him, “Caesar’s.”

And He said to them, “Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

We would have sat there trying to figure out how to get out of the web they were trying to spin, but Jesus spoke Wisdom that cause them to be confounded, and they had to go their way. . .

He knew what they were trying to do; instead of allowing the interference to hinder the progress, He gave them Wisdom, that confused their religious thinking!

It does not take much, and you don’t have to say much; Pastor Jones always says, “If you don’t say so much, you won’t have to take back so much. .

.”

How many times your own thinking wanted you to fight a fight, that was not even necessary?

How many times you could have simply said “yes” or “no” but we over complicated the situation by adding our own “two cents. .

.”

The Bible declares James 1:19 So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;

You cannot blame anyone for you being angry when you could have just, either walk away, say what God has instructed you to say, or just remain silent before Him!

The Word of God teaches us that there will be a time where you won’t even need to speak, for the Holy Spirit will speak for you!

1 Corinthians 12:12 (NKJV) 12  For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.

The principle to realize from this text is to stay in your lane. . .

Period!

Your frustration comes in when you want to operate outside of your ordained purpose. . .

God knows what He has gifted you with, stop over complicating things by trying to be something you are not!

Jesus simplified the tax situation because He perceived their hypocritical, wrong thinking, trying to trap, tricks - Matthew 22:18–19 (NKJV) 18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test Me, you hypocrites? 19 Show Me the tax money.”

So they brought Him a denarius.

The enemy is only testing you because you present a conflict to what he thought he had you bound with; do not fall for the okie doke, answering in the flesh; let The Willing Spirit guide you in all things and you will realize that it is not that complicated!

The religious leaders attempted to entangle Jesus according to the law, and they made it so complicated because of their attachment to their own thinking, they could not even see and realize that Jesus came to fulfill what they would not be able to do thru traditions!

The religious leaders of that day were so set on their own ideologies being realized; they complicated Salvation, making it seem so difficult to ascertain, that they made themselves an idol. . .

It Is Not That Complicated - Jesus said, concerning the commandments; Matthew 22:37–40 (NKJV)

37 Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’

40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

Again I say to you, “It Is Not That Complicated!”

Let go and Let God have His way! Jesus The Christ came and simplified it for you and for me, He rose and because you know that He lives, you know that our God is for you, then who can be against you!
