Christmas Service in Malang, December 25, 2012 (Tuesday Evening)
Peace and grace in the Lord Jesus
Christ.
The whole Matthew 28 refers to Shekinah Glory.
There
is a light of glory (Shekinah Glory), namely Jesus' resurrection,
behind the death experience.
Matthew 28:1-10 is about Jesus'
resurrection.
Matthew 28:1-2
28:1
Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn,
Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.
28:2 And
behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord
descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone
from the door, and sat on it.
The stone is rolled back by
the angel, meaning the light of glory shines the hard heart until
there is life renewal from the hard flesh man to spiritual one who is
perfect as the angel or Jesus is.
Being hard-hearted and keeping
the rottenness of sins, one keeps on being flesh-blood man who will
perish forever.
What must be renewed?
- Matthew 28:3 - The
renewal of countenance that is as the lightning, namely the renewal
of the five senses to result in bright face.
- Matthew 28:3 - The
renewal of the clothing that is as white as snow. It means the
renewal of our deeds.
- Matthew 28:4-5 - The new man has no fear anymore.
The theme of our devotion tonight is The
New Man Has NO Fear Anymore.
Luke 1:30
1:30 Then the angel said to her,
"Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found
favor with God.
For example, Mary must be pregnant without
a husband. It must be a great fear for a virgin. Such a fear refers
to the fear of youth.
Luke 2:8-9
2:8 Now there
were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping
watch over their flock by night.
2:9 And behold, an angel of the
Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them,
and they were greatly afraid.
The
fear also happens to the shepherds or parents.
Thus, the fear
happens to human since the childhood, teens, adulthood, up to old
age.
Moreover, we must heed that the fear also happens to the
shepherds or the servants of God.
Luke 21:25-26
21:25
"And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the
stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea
and the waves roaring;
21:26 "men's hearts failing them
from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the
earth, for the powers of heaven will be shaken."
The
fear happens to all nations or countries in the world, not only to
poor countries but also to the developing countries and developed
ones.
In addition, the fear causes bodily death through distress,
diseases, et cetera.
Revelation 21:8
21:8 "But
the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable,
murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars
shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and
brimstone, which is the second death."
The
fear not only physically kills human but also brings spiritual death,
namely the second death or the eternal one in hell.
The fear
is same as the death working to kill human but Jesus is born in the
world (Christmas) to remove all fears.
There are three
kinds of the fear as follows.
- The fear that happens at Garden Eden
because Adam and Eve sin.
Genesis 3:9-10
3:9
Then the LORD God called to Adam and said to him, "Where are
you?"
3:10 So he said, "I heard Your voice in the
garden, and I was afraid because I was naked;
and I hid myself."
Thus, human can be afraid
although being in Garden Eden, where all things are provided. So we
can conclude that all riches and intelligence cannot guarantee
whether we can live in quietness or not. The fear is determined by
whether there is sin or not.
Romans 3:23
3:23
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Actually,
all have sinned and been naked in the threat of the death since Adam
and Eve sin and they are cast into the world. All people are in
fear, distress, heavy burden, and weariness continuing until they
reach forever perdition.
All things in the world such as
intelligence, riches, good position, and success cannot save the
sinners. Moreover, there is none in the world can finish the sin.
All men have sinned, so they cannot save themselves.
The
solution is in the Christmas.
Jesus is born as the only human
who does not sin. He must die on the cross to finish the sin of
human with His holy blood as He has no sin.
As for us, we who
are in fear, distress, heavy burden, and weariness now must learn to
Jesus upon the cross.
Matthew 11:28-30
11:28
"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will
give you rest.
11:29 "Take My yoke upon you and learn from
Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you
will find rest for your souls.
11:30 "For My yoke is easy
and My burden is light."
We learn to become
lowly in heart and gentle as follows.
- Being lowly in heart means there is ability to confess
sins to God and other people. After being forgiven, we should
not do the sin anymore.
Sinning and then blaming other people,
one adds his life with the heavy burden.
It is hard to
confess our sins, whether from the inferior to the superior and
moreover from the superior to the inferior, but we have to do
that.
- Being gentle means there is ability to forgive the sins
of other people and forget them.
As a result, the blood of Jesus forgives and finishes all our
sins, so we can live in righteousness in all aspects of our life.
The righteousness comes together with the peace and
quietness. Meaning we will experience the peace and quietness if we
finish our sins and live in righteousness.
Proverbs
12:26
12:26 The righteous should choose his friends
carefully, For the way of the wicked leads them astray.
Moreover,
if we have been righteous and quiet, we must go to the righteous
shepherding.
We are shepherded to the true teaching Word as a
branch that dwells in the one True Vine.
We persevere in
the sheepfold, namely the Holy Place with its three kinds of
equipment as follows.
- Golden Candlestick or
perseverance in doing General Service or the fellowship with Holy
Spirit as if we spiritually drink.
- Table of Showbread or
perseverance in doing Bible Study Service with Holy Communion or
the fellowship with the Son of God in the Word and Holy Communion
as if we spiritually eat.
- Golden Altar of Incense or
perseverance in doing Prayer Service or the fellowship with Father
God in His love as the breath of life.
We must spiritually grow in the
shepherding.
It is a place to firm our righteousness and
quietness.
We must be firm in our being lowly in heart and
gentle as well as living in righteousness, being shepherded, and
quiet.
The result is as follows.
- Our life becomes easy and light whatever condition we face.
- We are blessed by God up to our
descendants, even we can become blessings for other people.
Psalm
37:25
37:25 I have been young, and now am old; Yet I have
not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his descendants begging
bread.
- The fear because of the wind
and wave hitting the sea of the world.
Mark
4:35-40
4:35 On the same day, when evening had come, He
said to them, "Let us cross over to the other side."
4:36
Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the
boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him.
4:37
And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so
that it was already filling.
4:38 But He was in the stern,
asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, "Teacher,
do You not care that we are perishing?"
4:39 Then He arose
and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace, be still!"
And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.
4:40 But He
said to them, "Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have
no faith?"
Our life in the world is as crossing
over the sea of the world to go to the harbor of peace, namely the
beautiful meeting on glorious clouds or the marriage supper of the
Lamb of God when Jesus comes a second time, then we enter the
kingdom of peace a thousand years and New Jerusalem or the eternal
heavenly kingdom.
What we face is the wind and wave of
death blown by Satan. We cannot fight against Satan with our own
strength.
- The windstorm refers to the wind of false teaching
causing us to fear of holding fast to the true teaching Word even
to doubt and leave it.
Be alert! For example, Eutychus sits in a
window and falls down because of the wind outside the window,
referring to the wind of false teaching.
Do not be afraid!
God is with us as long as we hold fast the true teaching Word.
- The wave means temptations or impossible problems
causing the sons of God not to believe in His power but to doubt
and seek their own ways which are not in line with the true
teaching Word.
Consequently, one is drowned and unable to reach the harbor of
peace but he keeps on living in fear and distress until he is
drowned in the sea of fire and brimstone or eternal hell.
The
solution is we must learn to be silent and quiet as Jesus sleeping
in the stern, referring to Jesus who dies on the cross.
He
keeps on being silent without any reply when He is crucified and
despised.
- Being silent means we check our life with the sharp true
teaching Word.
We must repent when we find sins in our
life and we do not do them anymore.
- Being quiet means we control
ourselves in order not to hope in others but to fully hope in
God.
It also means we do not murmur, grumble, or use bad
language to other people, especially to our parents, but we only
cry and hope in God.
We can pray to God with our being
silent and quiet.
I Peter 4:7
4:7 But the end
of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your
prayers.
We can pray and cry the name of Jesus.
Being
silent and quiet means we lift up our two hands to God.
The
result is as follows.
- The sea can be calm, meaning we feel the peace without
any fear, heavy burden, or weariness.
The hand of God is
able to make the sea calm or to solve all our problems.
- Our boat can go forward without
sinking. Meaning the hand of God is able to provide us the
beautiful future life.
- The
fear when seeing the second coming of Jesus.
Revelation
6:15-17
6:15 And the kings of the earth, the great men,
the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every
free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the
mountains,
6:16 and said to the mountains and rocks, "Fall
on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and
from the wrath of the Lamb!
6:17 "For the great day of His
wrath has come, and who is able to stand?"
Because
the earth and all its contents will be condemned by the fire coming
from heaven and destroyed at that time.
Why do men
fear?
Because they never see God in their lifetime now but
become at His back or rebel the true teaching Word.
Therefore,
let us always see Jesus' face from the Christmas Service
tonight, before Jesus comes a second time.
Seeing the
face of other people, one must be at the back of Jesus.
For
example, Esau hunts fleshly things, so he becomes at the back of
spiritual things.
Matthew 5:8
5:8 Blessed are
the pure in heart, For they shall see God.
The
requirement of seeing Jesus' face is the holy heart. It
means that the whole life is also holy.
Seeing Jesus' face
means worshiping Him.
We are intensively sanctified in the
shepherding through the work of the Word which is sharper than any
two-edged sword. It begins from our heart that must be sanctified
from seven hidden dark sins.
Matthew 15:19
15:19
"For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders,
adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.
As
a result, the "eye" of our heart is bright to see and worship
God. We can give Him all praise and honor, even we can give and
entrust our whole life to Him.
If the "eye" of our heart is
bright, all our deeds must be bright or holy.
On the
contrary, the deeds will be dark or unholy if the "eye" of heart
is dark.
Psalm 16:8
16:8 I have set the LORD
always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be
moved.
The shepherding is the place to see or
worship God as well as to firm our being strong and of good courage.
The three wise men worship Jesus after He is born in the
sheepfold.
Psalm 27:14
27:14 Wait on the LORD;
Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say,
on the LORD!
The meaning of being strong and of good
courage is as follows.
- We keep on holding fast to the
one True Teaching Word.
- We do not want to sin, whatever
risk may come.
- We are obedient, whatever risk we
have to face.
As a result, we are
strong to welcome Jesus' second coming.
Meaning we keep
on being faithful and fervent in spirit in our service and ministry
to God, so we can keep on being the stars.
Revelation
1:20
1:20 "The mystery of the seven stars
which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden
lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches,
and the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches.
The
stars are in the hand of God as follows.
- We feel saved and comfortable and we are preserved
forever.
Psalm 16:11
16:11 You will show me the
path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At
Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
We
are firmer in the shepherding and God more tightly holds our life
in His hand.
- The right hand of God gives us victory over all
enemies and temptations.
Psalm 118:15-16
118:15
The voice of rejoicing and salvation Is in the tents of the
righteous; The right hand of the LORD does valiantly.
118:16
The right hand of the LORD is exalted; The right hand of the LORD
does valiantly.
- Verse 16: The right hand of
God is able to exalt us and make all things successful and
beautiful in its time.
Being exalted means we are
continually sanctified until we are perfect and exalted on the
glorious clouds to welcome Jesus' coming and enter the Future
Paradise or the kingdom of peace a thousand years and the eternal
heavenly kingdom. We can see Him face to face without any fear.
God blesses you.
