Youth Service in Malang, October 12, 2013 (Saturday Evening)
Peace and
grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Luke 5:27-32 is
about 'Levi the tax collector follows
Jesus'.
Luke
5:27-29
5:27. After these things He
went out and saw a tax collector named Levi,
sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, "Follow
Me."
5:28. So he left all, rose up, and followed Him.
5:29.
Then Levi gave Him a great feast in his own house. And there were a
great number of tax collectors and others who sat down with
them.
Genesis
29:34
29:34. She conceived again and
bore a son, and said, "Now this time my husband will become
attached to me, because I have borne him three sons." Therefore
his name was called Levi.
The
name of "Levi"
means to attach firmly.
Of the twelve tribes of Jacob's sons, only
tribe of Levi may attach and serve God.
Or, just
the tribe of Levi may be present in the Tabernacle or temple of
God.
But, in Luke 5, Levi
is sitting at the tax office. It means he
attaches to money that he cannot be present in the temple of God to
minister to Him, but separated from Him.
There
are three kinds of attaching or being bound to others that we cannot
minister God as follows:
- Attaching
to money or love of money.
1
Timothy 6:10
6:10. For the love
of money is a root of all kinds of evil,
for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and
pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
The
practices are stinginess and
greediness.
Stinginess means we cannot
give to God and others in need.
Greediness means we rob others'
right and God's (tithes and special offering). It also means
hunting money by legalizing all ways.
The
consequences of being bound to money are as follows:
- Deviating
from the faith. It means that his life is incorrect, unbelieving,
and he falls from faith.
- Piercing
themselves through with many sorrows and one cannot minister to
God.
- Perishing
forever.
- Attaching
to the world with all its rush, happiness,
trouble, et cetera, so we cannot be faithful in ministry.
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.
Matthew
25:26, 30
25:26. "But his lord
answered and said to him, 'You wicked
and lazy servant, you knew that I
reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered
seed.
25:30. 'And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer
darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
Being
unfaithful= lazy and wicked=
useless.
Consequently, one is cast into the outer darkness, dark
future up to perdition forever.
- Attaching
to sins up to the peak of sin, namely sin of
eating-drinking (smoking, getting drunk and drugs abuse) and sin of
marrying-giving in marriage (sexual sins with all its kinds, sexual
deviation, mixed-marriage, and marrying after divorce).
1
Corinthians 6:16
6:16. Or do you not
know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For
"the two," He says, "shall become one flesh."
If we do not attach to God, but money,
world and sin, we will surely perish forever.
Luke
5:27b-28
5:27 .... He said to him,
"Follow Me."
5:28.
So he left all, rose up, and followed Him.
The
way out is Jesus says "follow
Me". It means Jesus calls Levi by
the power of the Word of God, especially the teaching Word that is
sharper than any two-edged sword to break our bond.
Levi
accepts God's calling. It means to hear
and obey the true teaching Word, no matter how hard it is.
The
results are as follows:
- Levi rose up and left all.
It means as follows:
- The power of teaching Word shows our
sins that we realize, regret, and confess sin to God and others. If
we are forgiven, do not sin anymore.
We repent and live in
righteousness and holiness.
- The power of teaching Word is able
to release us from the bond of money, world and sin, that we repent
and live in righteousness and holiness and attach to God.
- Following Jesus,
which means as follows:
- The power of teaching Word brings us
to shepherding, that we are always present in the sheepfold.
In
the Tabernacle, the sheepfold is pointed by the Holy Place. Inside
it, there are three kinds of tool that refer to perseverance in
three main services as follows:
- The golden candlestick=
perseverance in General Service (including youth service)=
fellowship with God the Holy Spirit in His gifts.
- The table of showbread=
perseverance in Bible Study and Holy Communion Service= fellowship
with Son of God in teaching Word and His sacrifice.
- The golden altar of incense=
perseverance in Prayer Service= fellowship with God the Father in
His love.
Through three kinds of service, our
body, soul and spirit attach to God the Trinity.
- The power of teaching Word
encourages us to serve God faithfully and fervently.
John
12:24-26
12:24. "Most assuredly,
I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and
dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much
grain.
12:25. "He who loves his life will lose it, and he
who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal
life.
12:26. "If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and
where I am, there My servant will be
also. If anyone serves Me, him My
Father will honor.
To be shepherded
and serve God faithfully and fervently, we
have to experience suffering in the flesh with Jesus.
But,
the result is "where I am, there My
servant will be also".
We
firmly attach to God which means as follows:
- God is always with us that we live
in the caress of God
God takes care our life magically, gives
victory to us and finishes all our problems up to the impossible
one.
- We are glorified by Father in
Heaven.
We are never humiliated and left lying by God.
We
are lifted up in successful, beautiful and happy future in His
time.
- Our name is listed in the Kingdom
of Heaven. We are as perfect as Him to inherit eternal life with
Him.
In the book of Revelation, Levi becomes Matthew and his
name is written in New Jerusalem.
God blesses us.
