Bible Study Service in Malang, February 06, 2014 (Thursday Evening)
Peace
and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation
1:9-20 is about the vision of John in Patmos Island.
Revelation
1:9
1:9
I, John, both your brother and companion in the tribulation and
kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is
called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus
Christ.
John
experiences suffering in the flesh because of God's Word and the
testimony of Jesus Christ.
There
are two kinds of suffering in the flesh as follows.
-
Suffering
because of sins. It means chastening.
1
Peter 2:20
2:20
For what credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you
take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take it
patiently, this is commendable before God.
Its
purpose is to make us return to righteousness and holiness.
-
Suffering
in the flesh because of Jesus or doing good deeds. It means the
grace of God.
1
Peter 2:19, 20b
2:19
For this is commendable, if because of conscience toward God one
endures grief, suffering wrongfully.
2:20b ... But when you do
good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable
before God.
John
suffers because of the Word of God and the testimony of Jesus, so he
is encouraged to enter true fellowship with God and others.
On the
contrary, suffering in the flesh because of sin will make separation
and one enters false fellowship.
In
John 15, true fellowship is described as a branch dwelling in the
True Vine. There are three kinds of fellowship or relation in John 15
as follows.
- [John
15:1-8] Fellowship between branches with the True Vine. It is our
fellowship with God or the fellowship of body and the Head.
John
15:1-4
15:1
"I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.
15:2
"Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away;
and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more
fruit.
15:3 "You are already clean because of the word
which I have spoken to you.
15:4 "Abide in Me, and I in
you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in
the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
The
requirement is the branch must dwell in the True Vine. It means as
follows.
-
We
must be shepherded to the true teaching Word whose signs are as
follows.
-
Being
written in Bible and revealed by God through a verse that explains
other verses.
-
Daring
to reveal the correct marriage.
-
Being
preached with pure purpose without looking for any physical
advantage.
-
Being
practiced.
-
Being
obedient to the true teaching Word.
John
15:3
15:3
"You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken
to you.
We
are sanctified.
The
facts found in the relation between the branch and the True Vine are
as follows.
-
Holiness.
Matthew
15:19
15:19
"For out of the heart proceed (1)evil thoughts, (2)murders,
(3)adulteries, (4)fornications, (5)thefts, (6)false witness,
(7)blasphemies.
If
our heart is sanctified from seven evil and unclean lusts, we will
be shepherded to the true teaching Word and able to live in
holiness to reach perfection.
-
Faithfulness.
It means that we are faithful and fervent in spirit doing our
service and ministry according to the ministry from God until the
end.
If one is not faithful, he will leave the ministry and
become as a branch that is cut from the True Vine. Consequently,
the spirituality is dry. It can be seen in the dry saying.
Thus,
our relationship with God is in holiness and fervency in spirit.
John
15:8
15:8
"By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much
fruit;
so you will be My disciples.
Let
us bear much fruit. God does not see our greatness, but holiness and
faithfulness. A branch will bear much fruit when it is holy and
faithful, although it is small.
Ephesians
5:9
5:9
(for the
fruit
of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth),
The
fruit of goodness means that we only do good deeds and do not give
disadvantage to others, even we can repay good for evil.
The
fruit of righteousness means we are on God's side, not on
others'.
Moreover, we have the fruit of truth.
John
15:1
15:1
"I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.
As
a result, Father is the vinedresser. It means that we are pleaded,
preserved, protected, and blessed by the great mercy of God.
- [John
15:9-17] Fellowship between branch and other branches.
It
means our fellowship with others or the body of Christ fellowship.
It begins from inside marriage, shepherding, and inter-shepherding
until there is fellowship between Israel and Gentiles.
The
requirement is being based on the true teaching Word.
If
a fellowship is not based on the true teaching Word, it will only
become fellowship between dry branches that will be burnt.
John
15:12
15:12
"This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have
loved you.
The
fact found in the fellowship between branch and other branches is
loving
one another.
1
Peter 1:22
1:22
Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the
Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently
with a pure heart,
Roma
13:8
13:8
Owe
no one anything except to love one another,
for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.
It
means that we must finish all debts, especially the debt of sin, by
confessing and forgiving sins one another.
1
Timothy 1:5
1:5
Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a
good conscience, and from sincere faith,
We
also give advice one another with holy or pure heart and the true
teaching Word.
Allowing others to stay in their mistakes or
agreeing with their sins means making them fall.
1
John 3:16-18
3:16
By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we
also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
3:17 But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother
in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God
abide in him?
3:18 My little children, let us not love in word
or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.
The
fact found in loving one another is giving to others who need. We
can give our belonging, even lives, for them.
John
15:16
15:16
"You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that
you should go and bear fruit, and
that your fruit should remain,
that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.
If
we live in holiness and love one another, we will bear much fruit
that will remain, even the sweet fruit.
Revelation
6:13
6:13
And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its
late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind.
We
will not fall because of the wind of temptation or other teachings
and sins up to the peak, namely sins concerning eating-drinking and
marrying-being given in marriage.
One
who bears permanent and sweet fruit is as John leaning on Jesus'
bosom.
John
13:23
13:23
Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of His disciples, whom
Jesus loved.
John
21:20-22
21:20
Then Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved
following, who also had leaned on His breast at the supper, and
said, "Lord, who is the one who betrays You?"
21:21
Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, "But Lord, what about this
man?"
21:22 Jesus said to him, "If I will that he
remain till I come, what is that to you? You follow Me."
Our
death and life, as well as our future are God's concerning. We are
safe, peaceful, and joyful.
- [John
15:18-27] Fellowship between the branch and the world.
John
15:18-19, 25
15:18
"If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it
hated you.
15:19 "If you were of the world, the world would
love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you
out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
15:25
"But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is
written in their law, 'They hated Me without a cause.'
John
16:1-2
16:1
"These things I have spoken to you, that you should not be made
to stumble.
16:2 "They will put you out of the synagogues;
yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he
offers God service.
The
world on the last days is full of difficulties, uncleanness, evil,
sorrows, hatred without any cause, persecution, and murder. We must
face it as if we are in the midst of waves of sea or we are drinking
bitter sour wine.
Do not be affected by the world. Do not be
hopeless or disappointed in facing the condition of the world. Let
us keep the permanent sweet fruit and lean on Jesus' bosom.
Bible
Study Service is the training for us to lean on Jesus' bosom and
face the suffering in the flesh because of Him in the world.
Why
does God let us experience the cross or suffering together with
Jesus as sweet grape fruit that must enter a pit for being pressed?
-
So
that we do not enter the pit of Babylon.
Proverbs
23:27
23:27
For a harlot is a deep pit, And a seductress is a narrow well.
-
So
that there is tearing for our flesh.
We can have life renewal from fleshy men to spiritual ones as Jesus
is. It begins from our sweet mouth.
Song
of Solomon 7:9
7:9
And the roof of your mouth like the best wine. THE SHULAMITE The
wine goes down smoothly for my beloved, Moving gently the lips of
sleepers.
The
sweet mouth produces sweet wine that flows to others through our
testimony and good righteous saying. We can testify about the
gospel of salvation or Good News to other people who have not been
saved yet. We can also testify about Bride Tidings for other people
who have been saved, so that they can enter the building of the
perfect body of Christ.
The
sweet wine moves gently to Jesus who is sleeping. It means our
worship prayer to God.
Matthew
8:24-26
8:24
And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was
covered with the waves. But He was asleep.
8:25 Then His
disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, "Lord, save us! We
are perishing!"
8:26 But He said to them, "Why are
you fearful, O you of little faith?" Then He arose and rebuked
the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.
As
a result, God makes the sea calm and gives us beautiful and joyful
future life.
We will be renewed to be as glorious as Jesus is
when He comes a second time. We are lifted up on glorious clouds to
be with Him forever.
God
blesses you.
