Bible Study Service in Malang, March 01, 2012 (Thursday Evening)
Matthew 26:57-68
is about WITNESS
and TESTIMONY.
There
are two kinds of witness and testimony as follows.
-
False witness or lying
witness, in verse 59-63a.
-
True witness, in verse
63b-66.
Ad.
2. True witness
Matthew
26:63-66
26:63
But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him,
"I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the
Christ, the Son of God!"
26:64 Jesus said to him, "It
is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see
the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on
the clouds of heaven."
26:65 Then the high priest tore his
clothes, saying, "He has spoken blasphemy! What further need do
we have of witnesses? Look, now you have heard His blasphemy!
26:66
"What do you think?" They answered and said, "He is
deserving of death."
Jesus
is the example of true witness, although He must face persecution and
death.
-
Jesus bore witness that He
was Christ, the Son of Living God. It means He bore witness about
the cross.
-
Jesus bore witness that He
was High Priest sitting on the right hand of Father God.
-
Jesus bore witness that He
was King of all kings and Heavenly Bridegroom who will come a second
time in glory.
Jesus
bore witness that He is Heavenly Bridegroom who will come a second
time, although He had to face persecution and death.
We
must also become the true witness, meaning we have to bear witness
that Jesus is Heavenly Bridegroom, whatever risk we have to face.
Its
practice is we become Heavenly Bride.
The
process of being Heavenly Bride is as follows.
-
We have to be
redeemed by Jesus' blood or the blood of the Lamb of
God.
Revelation
21:9
21:9.
Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the
seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, "Come,
I will show you the bride, the Lamb's wife."
Heavenly
Bride is the Lamb's wife because of being redeemed by the blood of
the Lamb of God.
Revelation
14:1-5
14:1.
Then I looked, and behold, a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with
Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father's
name written on their foreheads.
14:2 And I heard a voice from
heaven, like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud
thunder. And I heard the sound of harpists playing their harps.
14:3 They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before
the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn
that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were
redeemed from the earth.
14:4 These are the ones who were not defiled with women, for
they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He
goes. These were
redeemed from among men,
being firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.
14:5 And in
their mouth was found no deceit, for they are without fault
before the throne of God.
The
name of God is written on their foreheads, meaning being the bride
of God.
Heavenly
Bride is ones who have been redeemed by Jesus' blood until being
without fault, there is no sin anymore.
She
is redeemed by Jesus' blood to be delivered from these three
things.
-
The earth.
Meaning
being redeemed from the influence of the world.
James
4:4
4:4
Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with
the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a
friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
The
influence of the world such as its activities, amenities, sorrows,
difficulties, and friendship makes one unfaithful in doing service
and ministry to God.
Consequently, he becomes the enemy of God
and goes to Babylon.
The
proof of being redeemed from the earth is our FAITHFULNESS
in doing service and ministry to God up to the end line, namely we
die or Jesus comes a second time.
-
Among men.
Meaning
we are redeemed from the influence of the flesh.
Romans
8:6-7
8:6
For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is
life and peace.
8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against
God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.
The
influence of flesh with its emotion, lusts, will, fear, shame, et
cetera makes one disobedient to the commandments of God.
The
proof of being redeemed from the flesh is our OBEDIENCE
to
God until the flesh does not sound anymore.
-
From sin.
Revelation
14:5
14:5
And in their mouth was found no deceit, for they are without fault
before the throne of God.
The
proof of being redeemed from sin is our HONESTY
or NOT LYING and RIGHTEOUS LIFE.
Tongue
is the rudder of our life. Not lying, our whole life must be
righteous and holy until someday we are without fault as Jesus is.
Thus, the quality of
Heavenly Bride is faithfulness, obedience and righteousness until
there is no fault.
Psalm
5:12
5:12
For You, O LORD, will bless the righteous; With favor You will
surround him as with a shield.
As
a result,
the
righteous is surrounded as with a shield of God's blessings and
grace while the world is in curse.
-
We have to be
shepherded.
The
term 'the Lamb' shows a close relationship with
shepherding.
Revelation
12:1
12:1.
Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun,
with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve
stars.
Heavenly
Bridegroom has the light of the sun, moon, and stars. She is the
light of the world as Jesus is.
Those
who bear witness will be the light of the world also.
There is
light of testimony from the top of head to the foot, there is no
darkness or stumbling-block.
How
can we appear as the light of the world?
Romans
13:12-14
13:12
The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast
off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of
light.
13:13 Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry
and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy.
13:14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision
for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.
We
have to put on the Lord Jesus Christ as the armor of light to face
the darkness of sin up to the peak at the last days as follows.
-
Sins concerning
eating-drinking such as smoking, gambling, being drunk, and drugs
abuse
-
Sins of marrying-being
given in marriage or sexuality sins with all its varieties,
sexuality sins to oneself, and false marriage.
-
Envy or jealousy and
dispute both in marriage and in ministry in the vineyard of
God.
Envy can happen because of blessings or God's employment
to other people.
It will cause the destruction of the body of
Christ.
Therefore, finish all disputes through making peace! We
return to one right core according to the Bible.
We have to walk with
God in order to be able to put on the Lord Jesus Christ as follows.
-
Walking with the
Lord/Father God through Golden Altar of Incense or perseverance in
doing Prayer Service.
We
have the work of the light of God's love which is as a sun
shining us, so we
can love God more than anything and we can love other people as we
love ourselves.
We have the perfect love as the light of the sun.
-
Walking with Jesus/
the Son of God through the Table of Showbread or perseverance in
doing Bible Study Service with Holy Communion.
We
have the redemption and sanctification done by the true teaching
Word and Holy Communion, so we
can live in holiness even become perfect
to have the light of red moon.
-
Walking with Christ/
Holy Spirit God through Golden Candlestick or perseverance in doing
General Service.
We
have the work of Holy Spirit, so we
can be faithful and fervent in Spirit ministering God with the
gifts of Holy Spirit
until we are perfect to have the light of the garland of twelve
stars.
Ministering with keeping the flesh seems to increase at
the first but it decreases at last with many reasons. On the
contrary, ministering with the gifts of Holy Spirit will increase
for sure.
Thus, we
can become the light of the world if we persevere in the sheepfold
to do three main services in the upbringing of the true teaching
Word.
Not persevering, the light will never reach perfection. On the
contrary, we will get the light until we are perfect if we
persevere.
Revelation
12:13-14
12:13
Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he
persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child.
12:14
But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might
fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a
time and times and half a time, from the presence of the
serpent.
As
a result, we
have the two wings of a great eagle or great gain
more
than all riches, diploma, et cetera, especially to flee us when
antichrist reigns over the world for three years and half.
The
shepherding system never gives us any disadvantage but great
gain.
Do not be troubled with any other things! The important
thing is being shepherded well until we get the great gain or the
two wings of a great eagle.
The two wings of a great eagle will
flee us to the wilderness for three years and half, so we are
delivered from antichrist. He cannot touch us even he cannot see
us.
We
are indeed older in the shepherding but our life becomes easier and
lighter because the two wings of a great eagle become greater.
If
our life gets heavier, let us now check whether our wings become
smaller or even droop. Let us ask new strength through Holy
Communion!
-
We have to be
renewed from carnal men to spiritual ones or from mortar pot to
golden pot that had manna.
Matthew
24:30-31
24:30
"Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and
then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the
Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great
glory.
24:31 "And He will send His angels with a great
sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the
four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Jesus,
Heavenly Bridegroom, is
a human
in flesh and blood experiencing death and resurrection,
so He has the body of glory or spiritual body and He can ascend to
heaven. In addition, He will come a second time on glorious
clouds.
Heavenly
Bride is
also human
in flesh and blood receiving the great sound of the trumpet of an
angel, referring to righteous, hard, and sharp Shepherding Word
which sanctifies us from sin (we have death experience) and renews
us (we have resurrection experience) until we are perfect and as
glorious as Jesus is.
Thus,
we have to OBEY
the Shepherding Word
which is righteous, hard, and sharper than any two-edged
sword!
What
must be renewed?
Colossians
3:5-9
3:5.
Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: (1)
fornication,(2) uncleanness, (3) passion, (4) evil desire, and (5)
covetousness, which is (6) idolatry.
3:6 Because of these
things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience,
3:7 in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them.
3:8 But now you yourselves are to put off all these: (1) anger,
(2) wrath, (3) malice, (4) blasphemy, (5) filthy language out of
your mouth.
3:9 (6) Do not lie to one another, since you have
put off the old man with his deeds,
We
will experience these things through the work of Shepherding:
-
sanctification to our
inner and outer life from
six inner sins and six outer sins (the experience of death);
-
life renewal,
that we receive seven characteristics of new man (the experience of
resurrection).
Colossians 3:10-14
3:10
and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to
the image of Him who created him,
3:11 where there is neither
Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian,
slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all.
3:12 Therefore, as
the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on (1) tender mercies, (2)
kindness,(3) humility, (4) meekness,(5) longsuffering;
3:13
bearing with one another, and (6) forgiving one another, if anyone
has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you
also must do.
3:14 But above all these things (7)put on love,
which is the bond of perfection.
-
Tender mercies
= not judging sinful people as well as not agreeing them.
The
right attitude is bringing them to Jesus that they can be helped
and saved.
-
Kindness.
-
Humility
= ability to confess and leave the sin.
-
Meekness,
beginning from meekness to receive God's Word.
-
Longsuffering
= patience to wait for the time of God, to surrender to Him much
more. Do not hunt like Esau has done!
-
Forgiving one another.
Do not keep any revenge!
-
Perfect love
= loving other people as we love ourselves; we can love and pray
for the one who is hostile to us; we can love God more than
anything (we can be obedient until the flesh does not sound
anymore).
One who is sanctified and
renewed until he can love God more than anything is as John, the
Apostle, who leaned on Jesus' bosom. He is in the embrace of God's
merciful hand.
John
13:23
13:23
Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of His disciples, whom
Jesus loved.
Leaning
on Jesus or Heavenly Bridegroom, we
believe and entrust ourselves fully to Him;
we only cry to Him.
We only hear His heart beat which never
changes; we
feel His grace which never changes.
Faith
together with God's grace will result in miracle.
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."
As
a result, our
life and death are in the hand of God
as follows.
-
He is able to preserve
and protect us.
-
He is able to solve all
our problems, even the impossible one.
-
He provides us beautiful
future life.
-
He sanctifies and renews
us until we are perfect and as glorious as He is. The proof is real
when we do not stumble in word.
James 3:2
3:2
For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in
word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole
body.
Having
many mistakes in our saying, we get much more tears in our life.
Let us now alert of every word of our mouth!
If we want
to be sanctified and renewed continually, someday our mouth will
only worship God saying 'ALLELUIA' to welcome Jesus' second
coming on glorious clouds.
God
blesses you.
