Greeting
Good Morning Family
If you’re new with us, we want to WELCOME you.
My name is Rob.
I’m an elder and a pastor here and a fellow servant alongside you.
Introduction
Today we’re continuing through the three week series that we began last week about our identity both individually and as a body.
We’re working through our Baptismal Identity (which you saw in the video) and how believing in it affects and even determines what we do.
Baptized into the NAME OF THE...
Father Last Week
We’re children of God who love one another like family.
We saw that when we are in awe of the greatness of the love of God...
The only natural outcome is that we love one another as we’ve been loved.
Son This Week
We’re servants of King Jesus who serve him by serving others.
Spirit Next Week
Today as we look into the word to discover what it means and what it looks like to be baptized into the name of the Son, we’ll be in a few different spots in scripture.
We’ll begin in Matthew 25 then later we’ll spend a few minutes in both Philippians 2, and John 13.
Today’s Takeaway:
We are servants of King Jesus who serve him by serving others.
Let’s stand and read together...
If you don’t have a Bible with you or on your phone the words will be up on the screen for you.
Let’s Pray
You may be seated.
We’re servants of King Jesus who serve him by serving others.
First we have to understand and believe is that Jesus is KING.
This passage does that for us clearly.
This is Jesus speaking...
Claiming he will come in glory
Claiming he will bring ALL the angels with him
2 Kings chapter 6 - Angels
King of Aram at war with Israel
Made some certain plans
Elisha told the king of Israel about those plans and they were ready and were able to defend themselves.
The king of Aram was mad at Elisha
Figured he’d go down to Dothan (where Elisha was) and he would capture him - show him who’s boss.
Sent a great army there over night and surrounded the whole city.
Elisha’s servant was scared but Elisha said to him don’t worry about it we have a bigger army.
There were only two of them?!
Eli prayed the servants eyes would be opened and they were and he saw an army of angels that covered the hill with horses and chariots of fire.
This is likely only part of the army that will show up with Jesus in his Glory.
Many times throughout the bible when someone even sees one or two angels what happens?
They are scared to death - fall on their faces
Jesus says here that when he comes in Glory ALL the angels will come with him.
If you look down in verse 34 & 40 Jesus point blank calls himself King.
We have to know and understand and believe that this is not only the suffering servant but the KING OF ALL KINGS and LORD OF ALL LORDS.
As King Jesus has authority over ALL people and over ALL creation.
Verse 32 - Everyone will be gathered before him.
This is believers and unbelievers alike.
The whole of mankind answers to the King.
Everyone is accountable to Jesus as King.
“and he will separate them from one another”
And he has complete knowledge to know those who believe and those who do not.
Nothing gets by him.
Nothing gets past him.
And he has complete authority to separate the two and do as he wishes.
Complete authority!
He does so and remains completely good and completely righteous.
Jesus is King.
The rest of this section of scripture deal with a specific difference between these two groups of people.
The sheep and the goats.
The believers and unbelievers.
This isn’t a complete description but Jesus gives us a telling characteristic of the two.
An important difference.
Jesus says...
about the believers.
And that the complete opposite is true about the unbeliever.
The believer here was inclined
to serve others.
to put themselves second.
to humble themselves and think of the needs of others and then to go and meet those needs.
While the unbeliever
served themselves.
looked out for ole’ #1
What set the believer apart?
What caused them to serve?
One of the greatest tools you will ever learn as a disciple of Jesus is the
Who is God?
What has he done?
Who am I?
What do I do?
bible study method.
The church doesn’t always do a good job of equipping people with the real “why” behind what we’re all asked to do.
We’re good at reading the Bible and walking away with “What do I do?”
Without understanding, believing, and fueling that with
This is who God is.
This is what he’s done.
This is who that’s made you.
And That’s why you do what you do
So, let’s look at the motivation behind these believers being selfless servants of one another.
“One of the principal rules of religion is, to lose no occasion of serving God.
And, since he is invisible to our eyes, we are to serve him in our neighbor; which he receives as if done to himself in person, standing visibly before us.”
-John Wesley
We’re servants of King Jesus who serve him by serving others.
We Are Servants
