Bible Study Service in Malang, May 30, 2013 (Thursday Evening)
Peace and grace in
the Lord Jesus Christ.
Matthew
28: 20b
28:20b
..... and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
Amen.
God
is with us always, even to the end of the age. It means He is with us
from now on until Jesus comes a second time and we sit with Him on
heavenly throne forever.
Moses asks for the accompaniment of
God when the house of Israel will go out of Egypt to enter Canaan as
written in Exodus 33.
There
are two kinds of God's accompaniment as follows.
-
Exodus 33:12-17;
His grace.
-
Exodus 33:18-23;
His glory.
We
still discuss the first one. There
are three forms of the grace of God as follows.
-
[verse 12-13] He
shows us His way, namely the way of cross.
-
[verse 14-15] He
guides us.
-
[verse 16-17] He
walks with us.
We
will discuss the second one.
Exodus
33:14-15
33:14
And He said, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you
rest."
33:15 Then he said to Him, "If Your Presence
does not go with us, do not bring us up from here.
God
guides or leads us in the shepherding system.
He shows Himself as the Good Shepherd who gives His soul for
guiding the sheep.
In Old Testament, God leads the house of Israel
to enter in Canaan.
In New Testament, He leads or guides us to
reach New Jerusalem.
Genesis
46:34
46:34
"that you shall say, 'Your servants' occupation has been with
livestock from our youth even till now, both we and also our
fathers,' that you may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every
shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians."
The
shepherding system distinguishes the house of Israel from the
Egyptians. It means to distinguish spiritual Christians from worldly
ones.
The system of Egyptians or the worldly one is with
management system that all things are well managed with worldly
system but the purpose is to seek for physical advantage and it is
not in line with the Word of God.
The
shepherding system is in consecration and accordance to the Word of
God although it does not in line to the worldly ways.
It is signified by sacrifices
for the interest of other people, even the sacrifice of soul as the
Good Shepherd who has sacrificed His soul.
Where
must we be shepherded?
We
must be shepherded as a branch that dwells in the True Vine. It means
we are shepherded to
the true teaching Word.
The true teaching Word is written in Bible and revealed by a verse
that explains other verses in it.
Who
must be shepherded?
All
servants of God and sheep
must be shepherded. Not being shepherded, we will never feel the
accompaniment of God.
Why
must we be shepherded?
-
To experience the
accompaniment of God, so we will never be dry in our spirituality as
a branch that does not dwell anymore in the True Vine.
-
To become one flock
with one Shepherd or one body with one Head. It means we are in the
building of the perfect body of Christ with Jesus as the Head.
How
can we be shepherded?
Psalm
25:9
25:9
The humble He guides in justice, And the humble He teaches His
way.
The
shepherding is about our heart. One
who can be shepherded is the humble, patient, and meek.
Humbleness
means an ability to confess the sins to God and other people. Being
forgiven, we should not sin anymore.
Patience
is an ability to wait for the time of God although we must suffer.
Meekness
is an ability to obey the voice of Shepherd or the true Shepherding
Word and reject the strange voice.
The
meaning of the voice of the Shepherd or the shepherding Word is as
follows.
-
The true teaching
Word trusted by God to a pastor that preaches it faithfully and
repetitively to the congregation with a responsibility, so it
becomes spiritual food to grow the spirituality of the congregation
to reach the perfection.
-
The command to do
all activities in the sheepfold.
-
The stretching of
the two hands of the Good Shepherd to lead or guide the sheep.
The
voice of the Shepherd or His stretched hand guides us in these three
things.
-
To lead us in
the paths of righteousness and beside the still waters. It refers to
the Court of Tabernacle.
Psalm
23:1-3
23:1
<< A
Psalm of David. >>
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
23:2 He makes me to
lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the
still waters.
23:3 He restores my soul; He leads me in the
paths of righteousness
For His name's sake.
The
righteous way means we live in righteousness. The still water means
we live in peace.
John
18:38a
18:38
Pilate said to Him, "What is truth?"
Pilate
is one of the Gentiles. He is a judge who is clever, but he cannot
understand the righteousness.
Acts
8:26-31
8:26
Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, "Arise and go
toward the south along the road which goes down from Jerusalem to
Gaza." This is desert.
8:27 So he arose and went. And
behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace
the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasury, and
had come to Jerusalem to worship,
8:28 was returning. And
sitting in his chariot, he was reading Isaiah the prophet.
8:29
Then the Spirit said to Philip, "Go near and overtake this
chariot."
8:30 So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading
the prophet Isaiah, and said, "Do you understand what you are
reading?"
8:31 And he said, "How
can I, unless someone guides me?"
And he asked Philip to come up and sit with him.
The
rich Ethiopian has good position, but he does not understand the
righteousness.
The Gentiles are only as dogs. They cannot
understand the righteousness. It means they cannot distinguish the
right from the wrong; they often feel righteous although actually
they are naked.
Acts
8:36-39
8:36
Now as they went down the road, they came to some water. And the
eunuch said, "See, here is water. What hinders me from being
baptized?"
8:37 Then Philip said, "If you believe with
all your heart, you may." And he answered and said, "I
believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."
8:38 So he
commanded the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch
went down into the water, and he baptized him.
8:39 Now when
they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip
away, so that the eunuch saw him no more; and he went on his way
rejoicing.
The
Gentiles need the guidance in order to live in the righteousness.
The process is as follows.
-
Believing in Jesus
with all the heart and confessing sins with mouth. As a result,
there is no condemnation but forgiveness.
-
Repenting, namely
we stop sinning to return to God and die to sin.
-
Being baptized of
water and Holy Spirit, namely we are reborn of water and spirit, so
we get new life or heavenly one. It means we can firmly distinguish
the right from the wrong in all matters. In such condition, we can
live in the righteousness for sure.
Isaiah
32:17
32:17
The work of righteousness will be peace, And the effect of
righteousness, quietness and assurance forever.
Living
in righteousness means we get quietness and peace. All things become
calm and we can pass through the storm in the sea of the world, so
we can reach the harbor of peace in New Jerusalem.
The
Ethiopians have black skin. It refers to uncleanness and filthiness
of sin. Nevertheless, there is still an opportunity to get the
guidance to walk on the paths of righteousness and still water.
Jeremiah
13:23
13:23
Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard its spots? Then may
you also do good who are accustomed to do evil.
If
such person rejects the opportunity and keeps the sins, he will live
in the sin forever. In such condition, he becomes as the Ethiopian
who cannot change his skin and the leopard its spots, namely
dishonesty. It means he becomes the antichrist that will perish.
-
To lead us to
enter the sheepfold. It refers to the Holy Place.
Ezekiel
20:37-38
20:37
"I will make you pass under the rod, and I will bring you into
the bond of the covenant;
20:38 "I will purge the rebels
from among you, and those who transgress against Me; I will bring
them out of the country where they dwell, but they shall not enter
the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
There
are three kinds of equipment inside the Holy Place that refer to
perseverance in doing three main services to God as follows.
-
Golden Candlestick
or perseverance in doing General Service.
-
Table of Showbread
or perseverance in doing Bible Study Service with Holy Communion.
-
Golden Altar of
Incense or perseverance in doing Prayer Service.
The sheepfold
is the place to make our righteousness and salvation firm,
seeing that the Holy Place is protected by the tight bars and
coverings.
John
10:9-10
10:9
"I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and
will go in and out and find pasture.
10:10 "The thief does
not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come
that they may have life, and that they may have it more
abundantly.
We
must pass through a narrow door to enter in the sheepfold. It means
we must crucify or tear our flesh with all its lusts and wills.
The
results are as follows.
-
We are counted. It
means we are preserved until we can confess that we do not lack of
anything, even we can have abundant life which always give thanks
to God.
-
We are protected
by God, so we are not defiled.
There is a separation in the
shepherding, namely we are separated from the evil, unclean, and
false.
The more one goes out of the shepherding to hunt his
interest, the more he meets evil, unclean, and false spirits.
John 10:3-4,
16
10:3
"To him the doorkeeper opens, and the
sheep hear his voice;
and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
10:4 "And
when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep
follow him, for they know his voice.
10:16 "And other sheep
I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they
will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one
shepherd.
The
voice of the shepherd leads the sheep to go out of the sheepfold to
have fellowship with other sheep from other sheepfold. It means we
can enter the building of the body of Christ based on the true
teaching Word until we can become one flock with one Shepherd or one
body with one Head.
-
To lead us to
enter the last shepherding in New Jerusalem where there is no more
tears and death.
Revelation
7:17
7:17
"for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd
them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe
away every tear from their eyes."
Why
is the Good Shepherd able to lead us to the place where the death
cannot rule us?
John
10:11
10:11
"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for
the sheep.
Hebrews
2:14-15
2:14
Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He
Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might
destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,
2:15
and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime
subject to bondage.
Jesus,
the Good Shepherd, has died on the cross to defeat the death
or the source of tears and failures, so we can get the heavenly
joy.
Revelation
21:4-5
21:4
"And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall
be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more
pain, for the former things have passed away."
21:5 Then He
who sat on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new."
And He said to me, "Write, for these words are true and
faithful."
The
proof of going toward New Jerusalem is the
life renewal
or spiritual miracle.
Revelation
21:27
21:27
But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or
causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in
the Lamb's Book of Life.
There
must be no uncleanness, abomination, and lie. The abomination means
one is not willing to be shepherded or he is shepherded but there is
no obedience.
The more we are renewed, the more our tears are
wiped away and we are joyful.
If the spiritual miracle happens,
the physical one will also happen. All problems are settled by God
and we are changed to become as glorious as Jesus is when He comes a
second time. We are lifted up on glorious clouds to enter New
Jerusalem.
God blesses you.
