Jesus' Passion for us: ultimate gift of Love
Introduction:
(new series leading up to Easter and what Jesus has done for us)
(gifts we have done for loved ones for Valentines day.)
of the new series leading up to Easter and
Jesus’ offering is His ultimate gift of love to us.
Understand what God has done for us and what it means to us that esus is that fragrant offering.
Recognize that it may seem weird that God requires this.
Our world looks at it being weird because we are not used to it.
However, during ancient middle eastern age, it was not uncommon for people light fragrance in order to set a mood or set the right frame work for worship.
It is not hard to realize this when we start to thank about all the representations when we light candles.
Genesis 8:
How do we live in appreciation for His sacrifice for us?
Live out God’s Love
As followers of Christ, we are challenged to imitate God by “walking in love.”
Define “walk”.
This word for walk is not a walk of haphazardness.
I have to be careful what how I say the following because I can be easily misunderstood.
Walk in love is not going through life just “following our heart.”
So whatever feels good, give the OK to continue on.
If we live that way, it can have happy moments but leads to heartache and unnecessary struggle.
Listen to the warning in .
Once again, the “walk in love” in is so much more than feelings and especially feelings of the heart.
It is intentionality.
Strategically taking steps with intentionality.
(Story of couple walking out to the music of “Raiders March”, the theme soundtrack to Indiana Jones.
Then relate to countless scenes where Indiana had to take strategic steps or face certain doom.)
When we “walk in love”, we are trying our best to strategic take steps or another words “live out God’s love” with intentionality.
Trying our best to live in such away that God will be please with us because we are displaying His love for us and His love for others through us.
(Key on they aroma that is pleasing to God.
Pleasantness of walking from the streets in Louisville into this small boutique shop with some candles lit that just smelled good.)
Many if not all of us know what death smells like.
We have smelled the maybe an animal that has been killed by some mean and left on the side of the road or on our land.
But compare that smell to a flowers bloom during spring time.
Which would you prefer?
Not to be less “manly,” We would prefer the smell of spring flowers which is the smell or the fragrance of life.
What causes that beautiful fragrance in our world?
God’s love.
God’s love moves through us as we live out our love.
Yet, our love his love.
Be selfless
Ephesians 5:3
As believers in God, we are part of God’s people.
We are part of His church.
We are part of the saints.
Saints that are not declared by human recognition or declaration but instead by God’s decree by what He has done for us through Jesus Christ.
So since we are Saints, We live out our Love be being selfless.
In , it quickly mentions sexual immorality or some translations say fornication, impurity or covetousness or some say greed.
The Bible does not hold back.
It speaks specifically into all of these categories.
Yet, all of these stem from one over arching “sin”…selfishness.
If we are so focused on our self and how we feel and not others and especially not on God, we will not live in love.
Instead we will live in such away to get all the money we want.
We will live in such away fulfill our own desires.
To “Live out God’s Love” we must be selfless on our desires.
Be selfless
Speak with gratitude
Ephesians 5:4
There is something to be said about the effects of our words on our actions.
Our words can impact how we live.
It makes sense that God would make sure to include this in how we should “live out His Love.”
Wisely evaluate all input
Ephesians
Ephesian 5:5-
From all sources in our life: family, friends, tv, books, newspapers, movies, and social media.
Faith comes into play here at higher level than what we want to believe.
Because we have people in our lives that we allow to speak into our lives that can cause tremendous damage if we are no careful.
They may have militias intent or they can have misguided intentions.
Do what pleases God
Ephesians 5:8-
Faith comes into play here at higher level than what we want to believe.
Because we have people in our lives that we allow to speak into our lives that can cause tremendous damage if we are no careful.
They may have militias intent or they can have misguided intentions.
