Love People
Joke:
A Baker was asked to print on a wedding cake.
He forgot, and instead printed .
(ESV) reads “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear.”
(ESV) on the other hand reads “For you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband.”
Joke:
Confessor: I have stolen a fat goose!
Priest: That is very wrong.
Confessor: Would you like to accept it, Father?
Priest: Certainly not- return it to the man whom you stole it from.
Confessor: But I have offered it to him and he won’t have it.
Priest: In that case you may keep it yourself.
Confessor: Thank you, Father.
The Priest arrived home to find one of his geese had been stolen…
Joke:
A pastor is walking down the street one day when he notices a very small boy trying to press a doorbell on a house across the street.
However, the boy is very small and the doorbell is too high for him to reach.
After watching the boys efforts for some time, the pastor moves closer to the boy’s position.
He steps smartly across the street, walks up behind the little fellow and, placing his hand kindly on the child’s shoulder leans over and gives the doorbell a solid ring.
Crouching down to the child’s level, the pastor smiles benevolently and asks, “And now what, my little man?”
To which the boy replies, “Now we run!”
Today we continue our series on Body Works
Last time I spoke on the Vision for our Church.
Love God…Love People…Make Disciples.
We focused on what it meant to Love God,
Specifically
Love God = Obey
I also gave you a little task.
Anyone remember what it was?
Make a video of yourself saying “The Kingdom Way is to Love God, Love People, Make Disciples” then email it to Shawn@kingdomway.ca
Please help us with this!
So to refresh
The greatest commandment is to:
Today we want to focus on part 2
Matthew 22:
Matt
The greatest commandment is to
Love your neighbour, the second most important thing you are called to do.
Matt 22:
Like the lawyer you may ask the question:
Who is my neighbour?
Well good for us Jesus answered this question.
Like many of Jesus’s answers they came in the form of a parable
This specific parable has become to be know as
The Good Samaritan
You can read the who story in
Which is Luke’s account of what Matthew recorded in
Man get’s beat up, robbed…left for dead
Priest (highest level of honor, most repspected) walks by....and keeps walking
Levite (temple worker, one who job is to do actual work to help people) walks by
A Samaritan see’s him,
bandages him up, poured the oil and the wine, transported him to help, then paid for the help with the equivalent of 2 days of pay.
History Lesson
Now for you to fully understand Jesus’ parable you have to understand the animosity between the Jew and the Samaritan
At the time of Jesus, the feud had been going on for 100’s of years
kingdom of Judah fell to Babylon in 600 B.C. Its people, were carried off into captivity.
But 70 years later, a remnant of 43,000 was permitted to return and rebuild Jerusalem.
The people who now inhabited the former northern kingdom—the Samaritans—vigorously opposed the repatriation and tried to undermine the attempt to reestablish the nation.
For their part, the full-blooded, monotheistic Jews detested the mixed marriages and worship of their northern cousins.
So walls of bitterness were erected on both sides and did nothing but harden for the next 500 years.
The comparable situation Today, would be how Jews and Palestinians feel about each other.
When Jesus used a Samaritan as the example to be like, it would have made many of the Pharasee’s & Sadducee’s blood boil
In the Jewish mind, the Samaritans are the lowest of the low .
the Samaritans are the lowest of the low
You did not associate with them!
Jesus then asked the question
The Jesus asks the question: “Who was the neighbour of the one robbed”?
Luke 10
How am I to treat the non-Christian?
Are we to judge them?
-
I Cor 5:
No we are not to judge the people of the world, that’s God’s job, We are to Love them
How Am I to treat my fellow Christian?
Well as we just read, we are not to turn a blind eye to a brother or sister caught in sin
There is no place for gossip, and correction only benefits through relationship
If you are in relationship with a person who claims to be a christian, but sins in manner in which is evident, you are called to do something about it.
A non Christian-No, that’s God’s Job
A professing believer that you are in relationship- Yes
What about a professing Christian you are not in relationship with?
Well I think its best to take that situation to the Lord in prayer.
Look at it this way.
How would you respond if you were dwelling in sin, and a complete stranger came up to challenge and persuade you to stop.....
What if the same scenerio, but rather than a stranger, someone who you knew loved you very much, came to you.
How would you respond to each?
I think after David was caught in adultery with Bethsheba, God sent the closest person to David that was around to bring correction.
Why?
Because correction is best served in relationship
The world will know we are Christians by our love for each other
Not the crosses we wear, or the music we listen to, or the protest signs we hold up,
but by the way we love one another
How am I to treat my Pastor?
NASB95Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account.
Let them do this with joy and not with grief, for this would be unprofitable for you.
As a Pastor I have got off relatively unscathed, There have only been a handful of times that I have felt the brunt of anger from people in our church
I really feel blessed to a Pastor
I am so grateful for the people of this church,
However, I know many Pastors that cannot say the same thing!
I remember the words of one of my 1st Bible college professors.
He said
