Open up with prayer
Read passage
25 At that time Jesus prayed this prayer: “O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for hiding these things from those who think themselves wise and clever, and for revealing them to the childlike.
26 Yes, Father, it please you to do it this way!
27”My Father has entrusted everything to me.
No one truly knows the Son except the Father, and no one truly knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”
28 Then Jesus said, “ Come to me, all you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you.
Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
Drug story and the judgment of my family
I like this type of sermon,
Very applicational,
Very humbling
Very encouraging
Its where the rubber meets the road
It is so contrary to how we live that its stifling
upside down kingdom
Everything Jesus did was opposite
Yet it’s how it was always meant to be
Hesed
Can you say - Hesed -
Hesed is a Hebrew word
Michael Card Author of Inexpressible states:
Character of God:
Loyalty,
mercy,
loving kindness,
meekness
humility,
enduring,
extravagant.
Some see it as the key to understanding God’s own heart.
but is gods heart understandable
Jesus is hesed
Many of us use Jesus like a condiment
He flavors our lives
He adds taste
But He’s not a necessity
When we use Jesus
Things are opposite
We lose purpose
We lose the meaning to life
We lose the one relationship we need
We fall away
We feel unworthy
How many of us have ever felt unworthy?
How many times have we all felt like the outcast?
Like you’ll never measure up?
The nerd in school
The one kid thats bullied all the time
Yet like I said we are in an upside down kingdom
Everyone is equal in the eyes of God
everyone is welcome in the kingdom of god
Lets look at Verse 25
O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for hiding these things from those who think themselves wise and clever, and for revealing them to the childlike.
Context is critical
If you came to the last Bible study
Jews are persecuted beyond belief
Antiochus Epiphanes IV 167BC
Considered a forerunner to the Antichrist
Sabbath laws went crazy
Then the Romans; absolutely brutal
Caiaphas house there was even a torture chamber
it was chaotic in those days
Picture yourself as Jewish commoner
They had no shot
No hope
No chance at redemption
No escape
You were basically born to suffer or work
Then comes Jesus
speaking out against the system
He was the rebel of His time
He was the champion of the poor
he was the priest for many****
Luke 11:46
what sorrow also awaits you experts in religious law!
For you crush people with unbearable religious demands, and you never lift a finger to ease the burden.
I will destroy the wisdom of the wise
and discard the intelligence of the intelligent.
Look at
Look at
for there it shall stay
Look how jesus entered the world
shepherds were the first to witness Him
Samaritan woman the first to hear the Gospel
Jesus was everything that we are not
But I ask you how often are we put in this trap
How many times do we put other down
How often do we look at people as less valuable
How often do we place burdens on others
Ask yourself are you the person jesus is describing?
Many of us have not made perfect choices
Many of us don’t live spotless lives
Many of us have suffered a great deal
Many of us feel like we are the jewish Commoner
Gossip in the church
Sinners convicting sinners
judging everywhere
