John 10:4-27

Spam email. It’s the frustrating downside of being able to send an instant letter anywhere in the world. I’ve grown somewhat accustomed to the high rate of spam that enters my published email address, and a series of carefully constructed filters helps to skim off any offensive ones. I found it a little humorous, though, when my school email account—which runs through a very restrictive filter—managed to pull in a few spam emails, none of which I’m able to read because they’re written in another language!

From the nonstop availability of the Internet, to the constant communication via cell phones, we rarely find a moment for our brains to rest. Sometimes the church can be a very noisy place as well. Addressing varied voices in His day, Jesus makes the point that His sheep know His voice (John 10:4,14). Implicit in His teaching is the idea that only those who are willing to follow His lead will be able to discern when He’s speaking.

“Spam” in the body of Christ can encompass more than the blustering, legalistic wrangling of a Pharisaic mindset—such as that which Jesus addressed often in His ministry. Jude also impressed upon those in the early church to “defend the faith” (Jude 1:3) by weeding out the self-motivated false doctrines of those who claimed, “God’s marvelous grace allows us to live immoral lives” (v.4). And Paul warned about those who set out to “cause divisions and upset people’s faith” through their “smooth talk and glowing words” (Romans 16:17-18).

Because deception is present even in the body of Christ (1 John 4:1-6), our hearts must be filled with the Word. Only then can we discern between those ideas which are worth responding to and those fit only for the trash.

READ: John 13:36–14:4

If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. —John 14:3

A couple who brought their elderly aunt to live with them were concerned that she would not feel at home. So they transformed a room in their house into an exact replica of her bedroom at the home she left behind. When their aunt arrived, her furniture, wall hangings, and other favorite things felt like a special “Welcome home!” to her.

In John 13:36–14:4, we read that at the Last Supper Jesus spoke to His disciples and tried to prepare them for His death. When Simon Peter asked, “Where are you going?” Jesus replied, “Where I am going you cannot follow Me now, but you shall follow Me afterward” (13:36). Jesus was still speaking directly to Peter (and also meant it for all of His followers) when He said, “In My Father’s house are many mansions [rooms]; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also” (14:2-3).

Heaven is a family gathering of believers from every tribe and nation, but it is also our Father’s house—and in that house He is preparing a room just for you.

When you arrive in heaven and Jesus opens the door, you’ll know you’re home. —David McCasland

I have a home in heaven above
From sin and sorrow free—
A mansion which eternal love
Designed and formed for me. —Bennett

Eyewitnesses!

 

Eyewitnesses

1 Corinthians 15:1-8

An eyewitness is one whose firsthand knowledge of a crime or an important event is used to ascertain the actual facts surrounding the event in a court of law. One witness is usually insufficient. “The facts of the case must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses” (Deuteronomy 19:15).

Paul reminded the Corinthians to remember what they had believed when they first accepted the good news (1 Corinthians 15:1). They were to continue believing that “Christ died for [their] sins . . . was buried, and . . . was raised from the dead on the third day” (vv.3-4). This was the basis of their salvation, for it was true (v.2).

In the span of 40 days, Jesus “appeared to the apostles . . . and He proved to them in many ways that He was actually alive” (Acts 1:3).

In 1 Corinthians 15:5-7, Paul listed credible key eyewitnesses: Peter (Luke 24:34; John 21:1-22), the Twelve (Luke 24:33-49; John 20:19-28), James, Jesus’ previously unbelieving half-brother (John 7:5; Galatians 1:19), and all the apostles (Luke 24:50-53; Acts 1:3-8). Paul referred to an occasion (possibly Acts 1:9-11) where Jesus “was seen by more than 500 of His followers at one time” (1 Corinthians 15:6). Paul also named himself, for he had met the risen Lord on the Damascus Road (Acts 9:3-5).

Writing some 20 years after the resurrection (AD 53–56), Paul stated that “most of [these eyewitnesses] are still alive” (1 Corinthians 15:6). The fact of Christ’s resurrection, readily verifiable, is firmly established by the testimonies of more than 500 eyewitnesses (John 8:17; 2 Corinthians 13:1).

As eyewitnesses, we too can testify to Jesus’ reality. We have experienced His salvation and presence, and our lives will never be the same!

Hearsay

Hearsay

Proverbs 16:28, NIV: "A perverse man stirs up dissension, and a gossip separates close friends."

Sometimes well-intended, sometimes meant to harm--they are the words spoken in the secret places that will not remain in secret. They are perhaps one of Satan's greatest tools. He wields gossip like a cat-o'-nine-tails to rip apart the body of Christ. Through it, churches divide, lives are broken, hearts are torn, and forgiveness is not easily found. It is yet another device of the devil that, as a church, we must stand united against. We must do all we can to prevent gossip from getting a foothold in our church body. Have nothing to do with it. When it comes across your ears, you must go straight to God and obey His instruction. If you have said something, why have you said it? Is it because you are seeking God's will in the matter? Is it because you are seeking the best interest of the body of Christ? Gossip is deceptive. It clouds the motives, burrows into curiosity, and festers like a sore. It will not sleep until it has claimed a life.

It Hurts Me to See and think about this!

"The church is one institution that should set  an example of how it is governed! Seldom do we see this in today's Church. Instead the Church governance have come to be the worst example to look and follow. All things are supposed to be done decently and in Order, Instead we see things done in conceit and self-Ambition. I therefore urge the Church governors by the mercies of God that You must lead the Church as Jesus Would lead it Or Else the Judgement of God Will Be upon You. When i hear a church minister utter a word or words that leads to divisions among the people it Hurts me a lot and leave wondering whome you are serving" SERVE GOD IN TRUTH AND ION SPIRIT"

I WILL BE BLOGGING SOON ABOUT THE MOTIVE BEHIND SOME CHURCH GOVERNORS WHEN THEY SERVE.

One Body Many Parts!

"For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ. ¹³For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit. ¹⁴ For the body is not one member, but many. ¹⁵If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body. ¹⁶And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body. ¹⁷If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? ¹⁸But now hath God set the members each one of them in the body, even as it pleased him. ¹⁹And if they were all one member, where were the body? ²⁰But now they are many members, but one body. ²¹And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. ²²Nay, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary: ²³and those [parts] of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely [parts] have more abundant comeliness; ²⁴whereas our comely [parts] have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that [part] which lacked; ²⁵that there should be no schism in the body; but [that] the members should have the same care one for another. ²⁶And whether one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or [one] member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. ²⁷Now ye are the body of Christ, and severally members thereof. ²⁸And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, i kinds of tongues. ²⁹Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all [workers of] miracles? ³⁰have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? ³¹But desire earnestly the greater gifts. And moreover a most excellent way show I unto you." 1cor12:12-31
