<div class="SSN_title">"FOLLOWING JESUS"</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_intro">Intro: Last week we considered Christ's words to rich young ruler, search for that something that would satisfy those deepest thirsts of man. Find your King - God is King - follow me. What does it mean to follow Jesus?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. "HE STEADFASTLY SET HIS FACE TO GO TO JERUSALEM."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. How did He see Jerusalem?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem that killest the prophets and stonest them that are sent unto her how often..."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. He saw a city hostile to Him.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. He already told His disciples how He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things and be...</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. "When you see Jerusalem compassed with armies ye know that her desolation is at hand."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. He saw the city doomed.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. He could see the Roman legions.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. "And I saw the holy city the New Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God as a bride adorned for her husband."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. He could see the ultimate glory which is still future.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. "He set His face to go to Jerusalem" hostile - doomed - redeemed. There visit to a Samaritan city. "Son's of thunder" loyalty to Christ-wrong spirit.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. THE THREE WOULD BE FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. First came to Him "Lord, I will follow thee."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Some commentators criticize him for being impulsive.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Nothing wrong with impulsiveness about Christ.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. "Foxes have holes, the birds have nests."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. I used to feel sad and pity Him for this.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Pity those who have homes that have tied them down and kept them from doing the things God wanted them to do.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">c. Pity yourself if you are so rooted you cannot move immediately when He calls.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. The second Jesus said: "follow Me."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. His answer "Suffer me first to go bury my father."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. This seems like a decent thing to do.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. What did he mean by that?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">c. Postponing the call of God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. "Me first."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. When Christ calls it must be Him first.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">4. His call takes precedence over the highest earthly ties.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">C. The third came to Him: "Lord I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell which are at home at my house."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. "No man having put his hand to the plow and looking back."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. The decision to follow Him must be clear and decisive. Nothing must hinder it.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">III. RULES OF FOLLOWING CHRIST.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Detachment from all that hinders progress.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. When the highest earthly love comes into conflict with my following Him let the dead bury the dead.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">C. When the hand is once placed on the plow don't look back.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">IV. ALL THE THINGS JESUS DEMANDED, HE WAS DOING. HIS FACE WAS SET TOWARDS JERUSALEM TO THE CROSS.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_notes">Put first and last verses of text together "He stedfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_notes">"No man having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_notes">He was not looking back, he met hostility, doom and death to bring us to life.</div>
