Frustrated with Church
We all get frustrated with Church
Lenten season.
Finished our Identity Series: Stolen Identity
I am reading from the Second chapter of John today.
In the three gospels, this is post Triumphal entry.
So RJ read Mark for us, but John has the most details.
We will jump back a little: hard to get it all in sequence unless we come to church every day between now and Easter
In the gospel of Mark, we find Jesus had left Bethsaida, traveled North to Caesarea Philippi and is now headed south to Jerusalem.
As they head south (Coffeyville to Owasso) along the mountain range and it is here Jesus is transfigured. .
He is leading his disciples
He is teaching his disciples (redundant)
He is thinking about the cross
Pass through Galilee (NE Oklahoma)
Come to Capernaum 9:33 and the disciples are disputing among them selves who will be greatest
Leave there and travel to the area of Judea, like saying central Oklahoma.
Teaches on Hell, divorce, riches and the coming Crucifixion,
Peter comes to him and states, we have left all for you and followed you whats in it for us...
James and John come to Him and ask Him to do what ever they ask: to sit on his left and right
Come to Jericho (walking ion the east side of the mountain)
and Jesus runs into Blind Bartimaeus around Bethsaida: he heals him.
and now he comes to Jerusalem.
It is the dreaded, required, passion week.
(sermon in two weeks)
Entering Jerusalem on a donkey yeah a colt, he weeps over the city and comes to the temple.
The temple isn’t what it used to be.
It was a place where God dwelt.
The people would come there and seek God and worship God.
They brought their sanctified selves, their burnt offerings, their sin offering, their grain offering, their wave offering, their trespass offering, and their peace offering.
God would descend on them in a cloud of smoke, and when it was time to move, a pillar of fire by night.
Solomon established the temple as a building a house of God.
Solomon said it best.
The temple cannot contain God!
Solomon remarked
But it is his place of worship.
His place of sacrifice.
As soon as Solomon finished his prayer, fire fell!
The people still brought their sacrifices there.
2 Chronicles 7:
Solomon lost the zeal for God and chased foreign women.
The kingdom was ripped from his hands.
It lay in utter ruin.
Zerubbabel had a conversation with some travelers and asked concerning the temple and Jerusalem.
Zerubbabel heard of its destruction and received permission from the King to go and rebuild.
He did so with much opposition and yet the hand of the Lord helped him.
Here we are.
At the temple.
The temple Solomon said cannot contain God, yet it is their ritual to come and prepare for the Passover.
But it isn’t what it use to be.
The sacrifice was two part.
Yes it was a lamb sacrificed on the 14th day of the first month.
But it was a sacrifice from your heard.
If you didn’t have a heard, you took the time, time = sacrifice, and you picked one out worthy of sacrifice and you paid for it with your earned money.
You did the work, you sacrificed for God.
A lamb if you could afford it, a pair of pigeons if you could not afford a lamb.
Come on.
Drag a lamb all the way to Jerusalem.
No.
We can get one on the way, or better yet.
We will buy one at the temple.
This atonement for sin is easy!
No sacrifice on our part.
Can you hear the commercial.
It atonement time!
come one come all to Jerusalem, spend the night is a luxurious barn, and don’t worry about the lamb, just pick one up here at lambs are us!
What you have a denari, sorry we only take Caesars coins, but we can exchange that for you, for a small fee, just step inside the temple.
2 pigeons coming right up.
Come on.
Drag a lamb all the way to Jerusalem.
No.
We can get one on the way, or better yet.
We will buy one at the temple.
This atonement for sin is easy!
Whatever you need folks, step right us, your sins will be as scarlet, your...
The lamb at the temple provided salvation, the people were in preparation for the passover.
Pick your lamb on the 10th day keep it until the 14th day.
