Subject: People who have left
Scripture: John 6:60-66
[Introduction]
We went to church together and believed in Jesus, but why did some people stay with the church and the Lord?
Leave, and some remain until the end?
Those whom God chooses will remain and those who do not choose will leave---Yes.
Verse 65----.
But who made it come, and who was not so chosen?
You know the result---? Then you're done. There's nothing more to say.
Worries as a student? (1) Am I really the chosen person? (2) how to do it
do you know
Today's text introduces at least three characteristics of those who leave the Lord's side.
have:
Those who eventually leave show these three characteristics. but forever by his side
Of course, among those who remain, there are times when they show the characteristics of those who will leave.
If you realize it today, you will have to throw it away immediately.
After the sermon, the reaction of several of the disciples was to resist.
I don't understand---not to the extent. gossiping and complaining.
1. Get caught in the word.
*61 lower half.
The reason they got caught---they didn't like them/they wanted the Messiah
They couldn't accept it because it wasn't. They couldn't give up their bathroom.
Those who stumble at the words of Jesus leave Him.
What are some people like?
(1) Those who believe in science stumble at the first verse of the Bible.
(2) Those who love money---A rich young man/I kept everything, but sold everything because of money and was poor
I stumbled when told to give it to others and follow me.
(3) Representative Judas Iscariot / An example of stumbling in the Word because of one's own desires.
---Some stumble at the Word because of their children./***Some who have lost their children
The saints will protect you like the pupils of your eyes----Children are the inheritance God has given you--
I stumble and fall. I do not like the words because I love my children so much.
----Some go out for a drink because of their friends, because of the fun of going fishing.
Because of fun.
The reason I stumble at the word isn't because it's not the truth, it's my
because I don't like it.
**All kinds of seaweed and shellfish are attached to the bottom of the ship after the voyage is over.
One of the important duties of marines is to get these things clean.
Dirty greed, pride, and vanity cling to our hearts.
If you don't get rid of this thoroughly, you may stumble over the Word of God.
2. Those who live in the flesh without a spirit
***Verse 63
The Holy Spirit and the corrupt person, the body, and all material means and their powers.
****Nicodemus/3:6. earthly knowledge, earthly experience, seen, touched, felt
After judging Jesus and judging the truth by all means of flesh and blood,
"How can I get back to the mother's womb---". own experiences, knowledge, desires, dreams, etc.
Then how do we live by the Holy Spirit?
Verse 63: The Spirit is the word I spoke to you.
The closeness of the Holy Spirit and the Word. The Holy Spirit is not the Word, but is
They act as if they were one body with each other.
***16:13-14/I will take mine and make it known to you.
The Holy Spirit testifies about Jesus Himself with the words of Jesus.
***Some calls/dreams, revelations, voices---.
The Holy Spirit saves us with the Word and teaches Jesus.
A dream without words, revelation is useless flesh.
So Paul also writes / Be filled with the Holy Spirit Ephesians 5:18 / The only mention / Context =
Colossians 3:16 and below same context = Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ abound among you.
And ---- twin verses.
The second characteristic of those who turn away from the Lord is that they do not live after the Spirit, but after the flesh
will live
However, those who follow dreams, publications, and voices without words are not following the Holy Spirit.
,Following the flesh = Two cases (1) Those who want to leave, or those who remain, do not know
What you are imitating---You have to get rid of it quickly.
3. Those who do not believe
***Section 64.
Are you willing to make a profession of faith with joy? If you don't believe it, let's leave.
Do you believe that the kingdom of God is not of this earth?
Jesus died on the cross for sinners to give us eternal life.
do you believe it is You are the one who can never leave the Lord.
Do you willingly acknowledge and believe the contents of Jesus' sermons that we have looked at up to yesterday?
Then, as we looked at yesterday, Jesus will not lose any of you.
Are you stumbling over the Word----Abandon your greed.
Are you walking according to the Holy Spirit-----The highest level of God's Word that has already been written?
Pay attention.
