I’ve Never Been this Homesick Before
Life’s Railway to Heaven
Lord, I’m Coming Home
My Jesus
The Rocks of Jerusalem
Do you ever feel unworthy?
Unequipped?
Ineffective?
Yeah, we all do at times.
In 1 Kings 18, we hear the story when Elijah went to Mount Carmel to meet the prophets of Baal.
The prophets of Baal prayed and prayed, cut themselves, but no fire came from Heaven.
Elijah set up his offering, poured water on the offering, and prayed a simple prayer and fire came down so fast and intense that it dried up all the water he had poured on it.
It was a great victory for the Lord and his true people.
The story doesn’t end there.
Elijah prays again and it rains.
There had been no rain for 3 years.
Afterward, Elijah is so depressed after running from Jezebel, that he wants to die.
Why would this great man of God be so depressed after suck a wonderful victory?
The answer is that he felt alone.
Do you feel that way sometimes?
Do you feel alone?
Like we don’t have anyone that wants to help.
Like no one else cares or wants to help.
I do.
Today, we are going to talk about one of the high points of Jesus’ ministry and how in just a few days, everyone, including his closest disciples, abandoned him.
What have the Rocks seen?
I have always wanted to go to Jerusalem.
They have seen Abraham.
They have seen Melchizedek.
They have seen Caleb.
They saw David conquer Jerusalem.
They saw him build up the city.
They saw Solomon in all his glory.
They saw Solomon build the Temple.
They were used as a wall in Nehemiah’s time,
They saw Jesus teaching in the Temple
They saw the miracles of Jesus.
They saw his riding on a donkey.
They would see him causing a tree to be withered.
They would see him crucified.
They would see him Resurrected.
What can the Rocks do?
Whatever God tells them to do.
If God can talk through a burning bush,
If God can have a donkey speak,
If God can have the children of Israel cross the Red Sea,
If God can keep Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego safe,
If God can keep Daniel safe in the Lion’s Den,
If God can bring the Jews back to their home,
If God can have a virgin conceive,
People get hung up on the strangest things.
Listen, If God made everything, then he can do anything.
He can make the rocks talk.
It’s not that hard to understand or believe.
What does that mean?
He can speak through us.
They were regular men that God used for his glory.
What are We doing?
Do you get what I’m saying?
We try to say that we just don’t know what we are doing.
We may not, but God can work through us even if we don’t know what we’re doing.
I don’t think you understand.
Here’s what I’m saying: God can work through us in spite of us.
We are to study and train
But that doesn’t give us an excuse for not telling the world.
God uses the process too.
It doesn’t matter if you have 20 types of evangelism tools at your disposal or if you don’t have any.
I want to be clear here.
God can use a non-believer to communicate the gospel as well.
I’ve shared this before, but the weekend before I was saved, a non-christian said something that would shake me to my core.
That person wasn’t a Christian and still isn’t to this day.
God used him in spite of himself.
Let’s get to the bottom of this.
Jesus is on his way to Jerusalem.
He tells them that the stones around him would cry out if others weren’t.
He then says that judgement is coming and that the stones of the temple would join those stones around him.
You see what he did there?
Listen, there is a judgment coming.
We need to be ready.
We need to tell others to be ready.
Let’s shout, let’s be the herald.
That Jesus is came to save the world.
