Possessing The Land_pt2: Following Christ
Possessing the land… is there something you are seeking to posses?
A promise you are holding onto?
Fighting for?
Believing for?
[LAST WEEK] - We discussed that Christ’s work in your life is complete.
Now, rest in Him!
Rest = Promised Land
Look at this...
Christ, on our behalf
[THIS WEEK] - Let’s take a look at what Christ did on our behalf, and lets look at a part of “following Him” that we may be leaving out...
Jesus entered heaven and now intercedes on your behalf!
[BACK STORY] - One evening Jesus is having dinner with His Disciples.
He tells them about his death.
He tells them about his betrayal.
Then, he comforts His Disciples...
He is there first
[WRITE IT DOWN] - He is there first
To prepare a place for you.
He entered heaven, itself, to prepare your place (your promised land)
He is the way
Jesus: “I go to the Father”
Thomas: “How do we know the way”
Jesus: “You know me...” “I am the way!”
[WRITE IT DOWN] - He is the way
He is the life in us
Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
[PAYOFF] - “COME FOLLOW ME!,”
He said.
Disciples: “How do we know the way?” “Show us God!”
Jesus: “You know ME” “Believe in ME, do works greater than these!”
He is there first!
He is the way!
[WRITE IT DOWN] - He is the life in us
[QUESTION] - Is there a part for Following Christ that we leave out, at times?
[POINT] - What do we believe “following Christ” is?
Is it doing life as He did?
Is it taking on Christian values and lifestyle?
Not that these are wrong things...
But, what is fully following Christ?...
Following [after] Christ
[PAYOFF] - Following Christ is going where He goes...
Entering the Promised Land!
Entering God’s rest
Entering the place He prepared for us!
[QUESTION] - Have we entered in to the Most Holy place?
Or is our “following” being done in the outer courts
Outer courts - Sacrifice and washing
Holy place - Spirit, word, worship >>> SANCTUARY & PRESENCE!
[QUESTION] - How do I follow Christ into this place?...
Walk by the Spirit!
The meek will inherit the earth (Disciple/Master)
The meek Walk by the Spirit
2 Corinthuans 5:17
We don’t live by the rules of this world any longer!
We follow Christ by walking in the Spirit!
We no longer live by the flesh (dead, limited, powerless)
Led my the Spirit
Comforted in His Spirit
Wisdom, revelation, understanding but the Spirit
[QUESTION] - How do I follow Christ into this place?...
Obey the Word!
The meek will inherit the earth (Disciple/Master)
The meek Obey the Word!
[STORY] - Jesus stayed behind as He sent the Disciples into town to buy food...
Meanwhile He ministers to a broken woman, her life restored!
Disciples return with food...
[QUESTION] - How do I follow Christ into this place?...
Offer yourself!
The meek will inherit the earth (Disciple/Master)
The meek Offer yourself (themselves)!
[PAYOFF] - Following Christ is deeper than following a set of His teachings...
Following Christ is following Him...
into the presence of God,
into the Most Holy place,
into the Promised Land,
into the place He has prepared for you!
We are Spirit led, Word feeding/doing, God glorifying followers of Christ!
Take Away
Christ has entered before you.
Now, follow Him!
