<div class="SSN_title">"THE DISCOVERY OF SELF"</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_intro">Intro: Job's three friends silenced, young man Elihu speaks up but does not finish, for he is interrupted by the voice of God out of the whirlwind. "Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?" Then addressing Job God said "Gird up thy loins like a man" Job still lying there stripped of everything which men naturally rely upon for experiences and realization of life. God makes no reference to Job's suffering-does not explain what or why. He brought Job face to face with the Universe then asked if he could govern it.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. "BEHOLD, I AM OF SMALL ACCOUNT."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. What right have I to ask God to do anything for Me?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. How presumptuous some people are.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Challenge and question God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. This cry indicates that Job had begun to comprehend God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. "I cannot grasp the infinite - the universe."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. You have already done it.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Cannot interpret all that is in it.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Try to get your dog to understand the greatness of the universe.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. He has intelligence-emotion-will and power.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. When you begin to grasp the concept how nothing am I by comparison. The answer of Jesus to Job - never once did 14 agree with Job's estimate of his worth.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. "WHAT SHALL A MAN GIVE IN EXCHANGE FOR HIS SOUL?" ("What should it profit a man if he gain the whole world...")</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Terms of market place - take balance.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. In the one tray put world - values riches, glory.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. In the other tray put a man.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. "What shall a man give?"</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Question assumes man has sold himself his true sense of personality.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. If I have sold out to world and lost my soul how can I regain soul? </div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. "Give world back" not valuable enough.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. "Give myself to gain myself vicious circle, you have already lost."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">C. "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. God's estimate of worth of man.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Standing in consciousness of universe I say "I am of small account."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. Listening to words of Jesus I find I am of greater value than whole world, and to God so valued that He sent His son to die for my redemption.</div>
|
