General Service in Malang, February 12, 2012 (Sunday Morning)
Matthew 26:57-68 is
about "WITNESS AND TESTIMONY".
From the sole
of our feet up to the top of our head, we must be in the light of
testimony, until we will be appeared as light of the world as Jesus.
But, if Christian lives do not bear witness, they will deny God.
There are two kinds of witness and testimony as follows:
-
The false witness in verse 59-63a.
-
The 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.
Jesus kept bearing witness that He is Christ, the Son of living God,
although He had to face persecution and death. Jesus kept bearing
witness about righteousness although He had to face persecution and
death.
Therefore, we must also bear witness about righteousness
whatever the risks we have to face, wherever and whenever. And we
must testify that Jesus is Christ.
Christ equals to "the
anointed". There are three anointed ministries as follows:
-
King.
-
Priest/ servant.
-
Prophet/ suffered human.
But Jesus is
also the Son of living God. If these four ministries are illustrated,
they will form the cross.
Son of God
|
King ---------------- Servant
|
|
Human
Bearing witness
about Christ, the Son of living God equals to bearing witness about
the cross of Christ. It equals to experiencing death and resurrection
experience with Jesus to reach glory.
The
baby of Moses, who was laid on the river, is the description of death
experience with Jesus.
Exodus 2:3
2:3 But
when she could no longer hide him, she took an ark of bulrushes for
him, daubed it with asphalt and pitch, put the child in it, and laid
it in the reeds by the river's bank.
No
matter how great an ark of bulrushes is, it will have some holes. No
matter how great we are, we will easily get leak, there will be
holes.
If this ark of bulrushes is laid on the river, it will
sink. Therefore, this ark must be daubed with asphalt and pitch.
Asphalt equals to the Word of God.
Pitch equals to the oil of
Holy Spirit.
These denote the true teaching Word.
Flesh
man is easily getting leak, having many lacks and weaknesses, and
having no power to face death experience. Therefore, we must be
strengthened by the true teaching Word, the Word that is sharper than
two-edged sword. Thus
we will be able to face death experience with God.
The
practices of cross/ death experience and resurrection experience are
as follows:
- Death
experience: having died to sins.
1 Peter 2:24
2:24 who Himself bore our sins
in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins,
might live for righteousness--by whose stripes you were
healed.
1 Corinthians 5:11
5:11 But
now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a
brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a
reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner--not even to eat with
such a person.
Especially we must die from six sins which
become blood and flesh as follows:
- Being sexually
immoral, that is doing sexuality sin with all its variety (sexual
deviation, infidelity, marrying-divorcing, marrying and being given
in marriage).
- Getting drunk,
smoking, consuming drugs.
- Being
covetous.
- A reviler, who
blames the right, or justify the wrong one.
- An
extortioner.
- An idolater.
If one does not
want to die from these six sins, he will die spiritually, will be
separated from the body of Christ and will enter Babylon.
If
we die to sins, we will be able to enter resurrection experience,
that is live for righteousness.
If
we live for righteousness, we will experience the power of God's
stripes to heal us, physically and spiritually. Healthy spirit,
healthy ministry, healthy marriage will enter the building of
perfect body of Christ, in order to be glorified with God.
- Prioritizing
or putting ministry more than any other matters in this
world.
Colossians
3:1-3
3:1 If then you were raised with Christ, seek
those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right
hand of God.
3:2 Set your mind on things above,
not on things on the earth.
3:3 For you died, and
your life is hidden with Christ in God.
1 Timothy
4:8-10
4:8 For bodily exercise profits a little,
but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the
life that now is and of that which is to come.
4:9 This
is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance.
4:10 For to this end we both labor
and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the
Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.
We
must struggle to be able to prioritize ministry more than anything
else, to be faithful and fervent in spirit in ministry until we
finish the race.
Acts 20:24
20:24 But
none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear
to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the
ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the
gospel of the grace of God.
'Nor do I count my life dear
to myself' means do not want to be hindered by anything, until
cannot be hindered by anything.
God has struggled twice for
the ministry. In Old Testament, God judged Egypt ten times until
Israelites could minister God. In New Testament, Jesus sacrificed
until died on the cross such that Gentiles could minister God.
Therefore, we should not doubt to struggle our ministry.
Even the third, now and forever God is raising intercession
prayer for us such that none of us falls in the halfway.
1
Timothy 4:8
4:8 For bodily exercise profits a
little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise
of the life that now is and of that which is to come.
God
never fools us. If we struggle for our ministry, the result is we
experience the firstborn blessing doubly.
- Care for our
present and future life.
- Being heirs to
enter the kingdom of Heaven.
Exodus
4:22-23
4:22 Then you shall say to Pharaoh, 'Thus
says the Lord: "Israel is My son, My firstborn.
4:23
So I say to you, let My son go that he may serve Me. But if
you refuse to let him go, indeed I will kill your son, your
firstborn."'"
If
we do not prioritize the ministry, we will lose our firstborn, that
is something we proud of, something we hope for, etc.
- Experiencing
renewal of life.
Death
means dying from old life.
Resurrection means rising in new
life.
Without renewal of life from flesh man to spiritual
man, we will never be lifted up on Jesus' second coming.
Renewal
of life will result on life as newborn baby.
Newborn baby is
honest and having no lies.
Newborn baby also cries a lot. It means we worship God more
with broken heart; we believe and surrender our life to God.
A
father whose child is an epileptic, at the end asking for help for
his unbelief. He honestly confessed that he was the wrong one.
Mark 9:23-24
9:23 Jesus said to him, "If
you can believe, all things are possible to him who
believes."
9:24 Immediately the father of
the child cried out and said with tears, "Lord, I believe; help my
unbelief!"
A mother of Canaan whose child was
demon-possessed also honestly confessed her condition.
Matthew
15:24-28
15:24 But He answered and said, "I was
not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
15:25
Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, "Lord, help
me!"
15:26 But He answered and said, "It
is not good to take the children's bread and throw it
to the little dogs."
15:27 And she said,
"Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall
from their masters' table."
15:28 Then
Jesus answered and said to her, "O woman, great is
your faith! Let it be to you as you desire." And her daughter was
healed from that very hour.
Martha is a
representation of youth. She did not want to open the tomb of
Lazarus because she did not believe.
John 11:38-40
11:38 Then Jesus, again groaning
in Himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against
it.
11:39 Jesus said, "Take away the stone."
Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, "Lord,
by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead
four days."
11:40 Jesus said to her, "Did
I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory
of God?"
Lazarus was allowed to die four days such that
Martha could become honest, could believe and fully surrender
herself to God, could worship God more.
If we are honest and
believe God, it equals to stretching out both our hands to God.
Thus, God will also stretch out His hands of mercy and grace, such
that miracles will happen.
Moses was drawn out of water until he
was appointed as the king's son. Everything that is impossible
becomes possible, and there will be beautiful future. We will be
used in the ministry of building body of Christ. Until the last
miracle, we will be renewed as glorious as God and become His bride.
God blesses us.
