Purify Our Motives

Father in heaven, we're very grateful for the privilege to come together as a family to study your word.

We thank you so much for the opportunity to meditate upon scripture and to truly allow heaven to speak to our heart.

Lord, we thank you so much for these privileges.

We have the freedom here in the country and just being able to embrace your words.

I pray that we will soak in everything that you are pouring upon us.

Grant us your Holy Spirit, for he's the only effectual teacher of truth.

And may he truly ignite our minds and help us to be able to understand the things that we will read and study, but more importantly to apply it in our lives.

But this is our prayer that we all ask in Jesus name.

Let's turn our Bibles to the book of 1st John chapter 2.

You know, we're told in inspiration that the preaching from the desk is the easier part of ministry.

She said it is comparatively easier than other types of work.

In other words, to go into a home and to sit down with souls and to wrestle and go through the truths of God's word with them and see them go from a no to a yes for Jesus, that's deep, real gospel work, okay?

But preaching from the desk is easier than doing that in the home.

And I don't want people to get that twisted and start thinking that preaching the word of God from the desk is easy.

It is a very serious and solemn work when we stand before the people of God and present his wonderful words of life.

And so it is something to be taken very seriously as we go through our study.

And the Bible says in the book of 1 John chapter 2, right there in verse 6, it gives a very testing statement to many.

It says, he that saith he abideth in him, ought himself also so to walk even as he walked.

If we abide in Christ, then we are to walk as he walked.

I wish that this text could just be accepted in its super simplicity.

But it seems like we have to go through so much effort to help Christians understand, if we abide in Christ, we are to live how he lived.

That should get every Sunday keeper to be a Sabbath keeper.

You find nowhere in the Bible where he kept the first day of the week, but the Bible makes it clear that it was his custom to keep the seventh day Sabbath.

You know, you would think that, wow, wouldn't it be nice if we could just make it that simple?

But we know the devil has done a tremendous work in confusing minds all over the world.

And as a result of that, sometimes we have to go beyond even the super simplicity and dig a little deeper.

My brothers and sisters, I don't know about you.

Because when I look at characters to my right and to my left I constantly see disappointment.

Sooner or later we're gonna look at the arms of flesh and realize that they will fail us.

I don't read anywhere in the Bible where Jesus tells us to put our trust in men.

I read in the Bible we are to respect men.

I read in the Bible that we are to be kind to men.

I read in the Bible we should be gentle toward men.

I read a lot of those type of things, but I read nowhere in the Bible where Jesus tells us, put our trust in men.

In Jeremiah 17, in verse 5, the Bible says, thus saith the Lord, curse it be the man that puts his trust in man and makes flesh his arm.

But 2 verses down it says, but blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and whose hope the Lord is.

And so we are to let Jesus be our example.

Did you know that even Moses is not your example?

Did you know that Daniel is not your example?

Did you know that Joseph, Peter, James, and Paul, none of them are our example except this.

What I've learned about Peter, James, and John, what I've learned about Moses and Elijah, and John the Baptist, and the rest, is I have learned that they are all lesser lights that reflect the greater light.

And the only thing worthy to follow of what Elijah did is that which Jesus himself would have done.

You see, if somebody says, Dwayne, you need to be like Elijah, that means 1 day I might stand for God and in the same day become a coward.

If somebody says, Dwayne, we gotta be like John the Baptist, I could say yes, 1 day I can go before Herod and tell him that you are in sin because you took your brother's wife, et cetera, and call him to repentance.

But that same John 1 day was scratching his head and said, are you the Messiah or should we look for another?

Does God want us to reflect that side of John the Baptist?

Does he want us to reflect that side of Elijah?

The only area of any patriarch, prophet, or apostle that we are to reflect is that which they reflected, that great light, which is none other than Jesus.

And my brothers and sisters, I don't know about you.

I find Jesus to be so incredibly attractive that every time I behold him, I'm like, Lord, help me to be like you.

I mean, it's like you start comparing yourself and everything.

In my home, towards my bride, towards my children, towards my fellow man, that I might be like him.

When Jesus walked this earth, he demonstrated so much for us.

We talked about some of those things this week.

And 1 of the things I thought was very interesting is that when Jesus gave his examples, he left something for us.

Bear with me 1 second, I'm gonna do this super, super, super quick.

You won't even notice all the time that I took to do it because before you know it, boom, it's right back on the screen.

All right, now, when Jesus left this example for us, this excellent example, I began studying the Bible, and there was something very attractive about the way Jesus even talked to people.

I realized that he didn't even speak like regular men speak.

The reason I discovered this to be so is because if he spoke like regular men spoke, then how in the world could the Bible say this?

It says in Luke 4 and verse 32, and they were astonished at his doctrine, his teachings.

When Jesus talked, he arrested the people's attention.

To the point that 1 day they did a comparative and they said, for he taught them as 1 having authority and not as the scribes.

When Jesus taught, people knew there's something different about him than when I hear other preachers preach.

And they said that when he talks he has authority.
