Jesus' Baptism

Scripture: Matthew 3:13-17

Song: ‘Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus

The baptism of Jesus is a bit of a puzzle to us. He was without sin and without need of repentance. Why His baptism then?

Jesus’ baptism endorsed the work of John. It said both to John and to the multitudes that Jesus approved of his activity as forerunner.

Jesus’ baptism endorsed the work of Jesus. It had been told John, that he could identify the Messiah by the Spirit’s descent at His baptism. John bore witness to this sign from heaven and gave additional testimony to Jesus’ sinlessness. His witness to Jesus’ identity was confirmed by the Father’s announcement: “This is My beloved Son.”

Jesus’ baptism silenced His critics. When the lawyers questioned Jesus’ authority, He questioned them concerning John’s baptism. The force of His question would have been blunted had Jesus Himself not been baptized of John. There was no room for anyone to accuse Him, not even the appearance of impropriety or neglect in His conduct.

Jesus’ baptism identified Jesus with sinners. Jesus had committed no sin, but He came to the Jordan with sinners to be baptized of John. He also offered the animal sacrifices of the Law, not because He needed to, but because He identified with sinful men who did.

Jesus’ baptism “fulfilled all righteousness” in all these ways and perhaps in others. It was not so much for Him as if He needed baptism as it was to show us we needed Him.

The Shepherds' Visit

Scripture: Luke 2:8-20

Song: Joy To The World

The witnesses to the birth of Jesus are an enlightening study. You’d expect the birth of a king to be proclaimed from the balcony of the royal palace. But to shepherds at night in the fields of Bethlehem? These were the first to hear the announcement of David’s descendant, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

The announcement to shepherds said something about the kind of King this was. This King like the news of His birth, “shall be for all the people.” Here was a King for the common man whose coming was announced by angels and praised by heavenly hosts. Here was a King for shepherds, and hirelings, for bag boys, and drive-thru workers, construction crews, and waitresses. Here was a King that could be approached and who made such access possible by dwelling among men.

The shepherds’ report said something about what kind of child this was. The events of Jesus’ birth must have overwhelmed His folks at times. Joseph and Mary were reminded at every turn that they were the guardians of no ordinary child. Some things didn’t change. They were still poor. Some things must have been a struggle—giving birth in the stables could not have been fun in any century. But then this—a visit from strangers who had no reason nor means to find you in an overcrowded city, in an unexpected place, who tell of a multitude of angelic hosts announcing the birth of a King and the site of His nativity. These little signs that “God was with them” helped make their burdens bearable.

Four Things I Must Not Forget Today:

1. The Body and the Blood - the price of my redemption.

2. The Lord - the object of my worship and reason for my service.

3. The Bible - the light to my path and standard for my judgment.

4. The Devil - the enemy.

No Ordinary Birth

Scripture: Matthew 1:18-25

Song: I’m Not Ashamed To Own My Lord

The birth of Jesus was like no other in the Bible. There had been miraculous conceptions by barren women but this one was unique. Jesus was born to a virgin. There was no question that He was no ordinary child, but the Son of God in the flesh, “God with us.”

The birth of Christ was like no other in the hope it proffered. In this child named Jesus the promise of deliverance first enunciated in the Garden would see fulfillment. The seed of woman would crush the head of Satan “for it is He,” said the angel to Joseph, “who will save His people from their sins.”

Many O.T. prophecies are fulfilled in the events of Jesus’ nativity. Joel predicted that the last days would be signaled by “young men seeing visions,” “old men dreaming dreams,” “sons and daughters prophesying.” Joseph’s dream, Zachariah’s vision, Elizabeth’s prophecy, the wise men’s dream, and so many other heavenly manifestations surrounded the birth of Jesus that no one can close his eyes to the events of that generation in Palestine. This child would be like no other.

Jesus was born to parents who witness that the Messianic hope was alive in Israel. Joseph was not only a good, but a righteous man, who before knowing the source of Mary’s conception planned not to disgrace her. Here was a man who understood something of the notion of “mercy and not sacrifice” that his son would perfectly model. Here was a man willing to risk the reproach of what appearances might suggest to outsiders. He was no ordinary man. But of course, neither was his son.

From Glory to Glory

Song: O To Be Like Thee

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 3:18

“For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren” (Romans 8:29; NKJV).

The Image of Christ. The heart of real discipleship is a commitment to be like Jesus Christ. The Christian is to be centered on the word of God because the word is where Christ is seen: “Then He said to them, ‘These things are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.’” (Luke 24:44; NKJV). The Scriptures make Jesus come alive so He can live in our hearts: “…Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27; NKJV)!

The Glory of GOD. “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord” (2 Corinthians 3:18; NKJV). Some translations say, “beholding as in a mirror;” others say, “reflecting like mirrors.” One implies contemplation; the other implies refraction. Which is accurate? Actually both. The verb katoptrizo can be translated either way. But which meaning did the Holy Spirit intend? In the context, the Spirit paralleled the Christian experience to the Mount Sinai experience of Moses (Exodus 34). After Moses beheld the glory of GOD, his face reflected the glory of GOD (2 Corinthians 3:7). Upon beholding GOD, Moses could not help but reflect GOD. The brightness he saw was the brightness he became. Beholding led to becoming. Becoming led to reflecting. Perhaps the answer to the translation question, then, is “yes.” Could it be that the Holy Spirit intentionally selected a verb that would remind us to do both? To behold GOD so intently that we can’t help but reflect Him? To behold is to study, to stare, to contemplate. This beholding is a serious pondering!

The Call. As we behold His glory, dare we pray that we, like Moses, will reflect it? Dare we hope to be mirrors in the hands of God, the reflection of the light of God? This is the call: “Whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31; NKJV). From one level to another – “from glory to glory” – reflect GOD’S glory in your life!

Reflecting GOD’S Glory! It’s not about us; it’s all about Him! He sends the message; we mirror it! Beholding leads to becoming. Becoming leads to reflecting. Get in the word! Deny self, take up your Bible, and learn of Him! Gaze at His glory in the word! Reflect His glory in your daily life!

Christ Gave Thanks

Song: To God Be The Glory

Scripture: Colossians 2:6-7

Thanksgiving is the expression of gratitude. Thankful people express gratefulness to GOD, the source of all blessings. Christ gave thanks.

To GOD the Father for the revelation of His will. “At that time Jesus answered and said, ‘I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes’” (Matthew 11:25; Luke 10:21; NKJV). Jesus expressed gratitude for the revelation of GOD’S will.

To GOD the Father for food. “And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks…” (John 6:11). When Jesus fed the 5,000 He gave thanks for the food. He also expressed thanks for the food that fed the 4,000 (Matthew 15:36).

To GOD the Father for hearing His prayer. “Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, ‘Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. And I know that You always hear Me…’” (John 11:41-42; NKJV). Jesus expressed thanks to the Father for listening to His prayers.

To GOD the Father for the unleavened bread and the fruit of the vine. “And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said, ‘Take eat; this is My body.’ Then He took the cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to them, and they drank from it” (Mark 14:22-23; NKJV). Jesus gave thanks for the emblems that symbolized the sacrifice He was about to make for all mankind.

Jesus came to do GOD’S will (John 8:28-29). It is GOD’S will for His people to give thanks (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). To be this man’s disciple one must deny self, take up His cross, and follow Him (Luke 9:23). Follow His lead. Give thanks for the revealed word of God (Ephesians 3:3-5). Give thanks for the food you eat (Romans 14:6). Give thanks for the hearing of prayer (1 John 5:14-15). Give thanks for the body and blood of Jesus (1 Corinthians 11:26). And above all else, give thanks to the Father for “His indescribable gift,” the one who will deliver us: “I thank God – through Jesus Christ our Lord!” (Romans 7:24-25).

The Two Surprises of Prayer

Song: Did You Think To Pray?

Scripture: Psalm 65

My study of prayer was met with two surprises.

1. God listens to me. “O You who hear prayer, To You all flesh will come” (Psalm 65:2; NKJV). The Creator hears my prayers. He listens. He cares. He responds.

2. I don’t pray more. I think about it. I worry about it. I talk about. Knowing He listens, cares, and responds when I pray, why don’t I pray more?

Note to self: “…pray without ceasing…” (1 Thessalonians 5:17; NKJV).

Know Him, Follow Him, Share Him

Song: Jesus Let Us Come To Know You

Scripture: Luke 9:23

I've written these three points on the last page of my Bible. They help me stay focused. I hope they will help you.

Know Him. Paul sacrificed everything "for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus" (Philippians 3:8; NKJV). To "know Him and the power of His resurrection" was the emphasis of the Apostle's life (Philippians 3:10; NKJV). My Father will reward me if I "diligently seek Him" (Hebrews 11:6; NKJV).

Follow Him. Christ has called me to deny myself, to take up my cross, and to follow Him on a daily basis (Luke 9:23). I am to follow His thinking, His speech, His behavior. I am to follow Him in everything - "And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him" (Colossians 3:17; NKJV).

Share Him. When I come to Him He calls me to "go" for Him - "God therefore and make disciples of all the nations" (Matthew 28:19, NKJV). Go tell everyone who will listen who I am, what I did, what I am doing, and what I am going to do. Sharing Christ with others is the primary purpose of the disciple of Christ.

Know Him. Follow Him. Share Him.

A Rest for the People of God

Song:  The Way of the Cross

Scripture:  Hebrews 4:9

“There remains therefore a rest for the people of God.” (Hebrews 4:9; NKJV)

The book of Hebrews contains a number of warning signs.  One is found in Hebrews 3:12.  The Israelites of old failed to enter the promised land of Canaan because of their “unbelief” (Hebrews 3:19).  Hebrew Christians are warned about the possibility of being “hardened through the deceitfulness of sin” (Hebrews 3:13).  “Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God” (Hebrews 3:12; NKJV).  It is possible to believe in God and to obey.  It is also possible to hear His voice and to harden one’s heart in rebellion (Hebrews 3:7-8).  According to the Hebrew writer, the choice is ours.           

Life “under the sun” consists of lies, deception, temptation, sin, suffering, and death.  We all suffer.  Good people suffer.  Bad people suffer.  Everyone suffers.  Suffering did not exist in Eden.  It is a consequence of the fall.  We live in a sin-cursed world.  It was never God’s will for His people to suffer deception.  It was never God’s will for His people to sorrow, to endure pain, to die.  Sorrow, pain and suffering, swear or tears, and physical death remind us that things are amiss in this world (see Genesis 3:16-19).           

Because of our suffering we are tired.  Tired of the deception.  Tired of the lies.  Tired of our own sin and the sin of others.  Tired of suffering.  Life in a sin-cursed world is wearisome.  We are tired.           

The Hebrew writer speaks of rest in Hebrews chapters three and four.  Rest communicates a ceasing from activity.  By Hebraism, the word the Spirit uses in Hebrews has to do with an “abode” (Strong’s).  In Hebrews 4:9 another word for “rest” is used by the Sprit.  This word is sabbatismos.  The Sabbath of the Old Covenant was a day of rest the people of God enjoyed once a week.  The sabbatismos of Hebrews 4:9 “is the perpetual Sabbath ‘rest’ to be enjoyed uninterruptedly by believers in their fellowship with the Father and the Son, in contrast to the weekly Sabbath under the Law” (Vine’s).  God knows our frame.  He knows we are tired.  He has provided something better for us.           

Beloved, hang in there!  Hold on to your faith!  Like Joshua and Caleb, be strong and courageous in the Lord!  “Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience” (Hebrews 4:11; NKJV).

Take His Cross

Song: Jesus Calls Us

Scripture: Matthew 10:38

“And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.” (Matthew 10:38; NKJV).

What did the word “cross” mean to this first-century audience?

The Symbol. In Matthew 10:38, Jesus is not speaking of the “cross” of a difficult situation, a chronic disease or a nagging spouse. I have heard devotional sermons spiritualizing the “cross” to mean everything from a cranky mother-in-law to a leaky roof to a 1989 Honda Civic (Hatchback). But this is not what the word “cross” communicated to Jesus’ first century audience. It did not call to their minds the idea of long-term difficulties or troublesome burdens. It did not even evoke thoughts of Calvary because the Lord had not gone to the cross yet, and they did not understand that He would.

The Instrument. Christ’s first-century audience thought of a cruel instrument of torture and death. They thought of dying in the most agonizing method known to man. They thought of the poor, condemned criminals hanging on crosses by the roadside. Doubtless they had seen men executed in that fashion. The Hasmonean ruler Alexander Jannaeus crucified 800 Pharisees (103-76 B.C.) and the Roman general Varus broke up a Jewish revolt by crucifying 2000 Jews on a single day in Jerusalem (6 A.D.). It was customary for the condemned to carry their cross to the place of execution. And it was a one-way journey.

The Call of Christ. Jesus’ listeners knew He was asking them to die for Him. They knew He was asking them to make the ultimate sacrifice, to surrender to Him as Lord in every sense.

A Life of Daily Self-Denial. Jesus is not teaching salvation by martyrdom. The Lord was not advising the disciples to try and get themselves killed for Him. He was referring to a pattern, a direction, a lifestyle. “I affirm, by the boasting in which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily” (1 Corinthians 15:31; NKJV). Genuine disciples do not shrink back, even in the face of death. When confronted with a decision between serving self and serving the Lord, the true disciple is the one who chooses to serve the Lord, even at great personal expense.

Conclusion. Take up your instrument of death. Crucify yourself. Allow Christ to live in you. Live your life by faith in the Son of God, who loved you and gave Himself for you (Galatians 2:20).

Imitate What Is Good

Song:  O To Be Like Thee

Scripture:  3 John 11

“Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good.  He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God” (3 John 11; NKJV).            

We are to do good, to imitate good, because God is good.  Evil is not of God.  Evil is of the Devil.  As the children of God we are to imitate our Father by doing good.

Diotrephes was not of God.  He was concerned with things that are not of God:  preeminence among brethren, not receiving brethren, prating against brethren with malicious words, forbidding others to receive brethren (3 John 9-10).  Diotrephes was of his father the Devil:  “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do.  He was a murderer and a liar from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him.  When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it” (John 8:44; NKJV).

Demetrius had “a good testimony from all, and from the truth itself” (3 John 12).  Demetrius had a good testimony because he imitated God.

What about me?  Do I imitate my good God or do I imitate the evil one?  Let us see God and imitate what we see for “he who does evil has not seen God” (3 John 11).

A Faithful Saying

Scripture: 2 Timothy 2:11-13

Song: I Know Whom I Have Believed

"For if we died with Him, We shall also live with Him." To die with Christ is to be baptized into His death - "...who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death" (Romans 6:3; NASBU). He died for us that we might live for Him and with Him.

"If we endure, We shall also reign with Him." To endure is to abide up under whatever burden comes our way because of Him - "Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted" (2 Timothy 3:12; NASBU). He endured on our behalf so that we might reign with Him.

"If we deny Him, He also will deny us." To deny is to disavow, to reject - "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me" (Luke 9:23; NIV). He would have us treat Him as we would long to be treated by Him.

"If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself." To be faithless is to betray the trust of the Faithful One - "...for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day" (2 Timothy 1:12; NASBU). As faithful as Jesus is to save those who believe in Him, He is equally faithful to judge those who do not.

A faithful saying...am I faithful to the saying?

Overcoming With the Lamb

Song: Victory In Jesus

Scripture: Revelation 17:14

"These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful." (Revelation 17:14; NKJV)

Whoever the "These" of Revelation 17:14 are...they will lose. The Lamb will overcome them because of who He is. Of lords He is the Lord. Of kings He is the King. It is wise to be "with Him."

Called. "...to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ" (2 Thessalonians 2:14; NKJV). The Lamb calls us to Himself through the gospel. He is calling...will you answer and overcome?

Chosen. "...just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love..." (Ephesians 1:4; NKJV). The chosen are those who accept the call of Christ. Have you chosen to be chosen?

Faithful. "Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life" (Revelation 2:10; NKJV). The chosen overcome in Him because they are faithful to Him. The Lamb is faithful, be faithful to the Lamb and overcome with Him.

Have you answered the call? Are you in Him? Are you faithful? Will you overcome?

Sunday Morning Starters

Practical Pointers From Proverbs:

“Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth” (Proverbs 4:5).

Getting a good Sunday start is so important. Here’s how

1. Get wisdom. You can’t effectively handle life’s problems without it.

2. Get understanding. If you’re going to get there you have to know the way.

3. Don’t forget what you know. Re-member it, re-call it, re-collect it or you can’t apply it.

4. Don’t turn back. There’s nothing good where you came from, so why turn back?

Get Yourself Ready to Worship

Practical Pointers From Proverbs:

“20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh” (Proverbs 4:20-22).

1. Verse 20—Pay attention.Be inclined to hear. You’ll enjoy the services more.

2. Verse 21—Keep paying attention Don’t let your mind wander. It’s hard to catch a mind that’s constantly on the move.

3. Verse 22—Think about what you’re getting out of the experience Life and health. Look toward it; find hope in it.

Mary's Psalm

Scripture: Luke 1:46-56

Song: Glory To His Name

Scholars call this psalm the Magnificat because of Mary’s opening declaration, “My soul magnifies the Lord.” Her words of praise in view of the Savior’s advent still bear repeating. “He has had regard for the humble state of His bondslave.” We find evidence for the promise of God related by James, “Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you” (4:10). It’s true. Mary is a witness to its truth. All generations have indeed counted her blessed.

“For the Mighty One has done great things for me.” The God of Heaven is mindful of persons. He is mindful of the sparrow’s antics and the lily’s dress. He is mindful of my physical needs and spiritual condition. He has provided for both.

“He has scattered those who were proud.” Where is Darwin? Where is Freud? Where is Nietzsche? He confounded the wise men of Jesus’ age and appeared to a poor maiden in Nazareth. He still confounds wise men, kings and conquerors.

“He has filled the hungry with good things.” Man has a built-in vacuum. He is made to feel empty without God. It is planned obsolescence. Man just doesn’t function satisfactorily without God in his life. The man who recognizes this void, and comes to God to fill it, will not be disappointed.

“He has given help to Israel… as He spoke to our fathers.” God doesn’t forget His promises. He didn’t then. He doesn’t now. To Him be praise. My soul magnifies Him.

Hail, Mary

Scripture: Luke 1:26-38

Song: Take My Life, And Let It Be

Mary, the mother of our Lord, is not to be an object of worship, though she is an object of admiration. To revere her is to dishonor the Savior she bore. To consider her character is to learn from her humble disposition.

She was a virgin.Though engaged, She had not known sexually the man she would marry, nor any other man. They didn’t live together nor sleep together before marriage. She honored the sanctity of the marriage bed and her own body as a temple of God and so God made her body the maternal tabernacle for David’s heir and His only begotten Son. The humble person yields their person to the reign and will of God. So did Mary.

She was engaged to Joseph Had Mary chosen another man she might not have been chosen by God as the mother of Jesus. Her choice of Joseph further demonstrates her quality of character. The humble person recognizes his own strengths and flaws and discriminates between associates that make him better and make him worse. Mary chose wisely.

She believed What might people say about Mary—an engaged woman, now with child? Will they believe the story of a visiting angel and the news of a Messiah? “Behold, the bondslave of the Lord; be it done to me according to your word,” she said. The humble person accepts the word of God—its responsibilities, its challenges, its reproach, its incredulous statements and predictions. So did Mary accept God’s plan for her.

The Word Became Flesh

Scripture: John 1:1-18

Song: Living For Jesus

Jesus is the Word He is the communication, or revelation, of God to man. He is not just one of God’s words. He is all the words of God considered together in the expression the “word of God.” All that God has ever spoken is embodied in the person of Jesus Christ.

As the Word, Jesus is the explanation of God We know people by their conversation. Their vocabulary, their syntax, their habits of speech and topics of conversation reveal their personality and their character. In just such a way Jesus explains God. When man observes Jesus—His words and His conduct—he sees God. Jesus is the perfect expression of His character. He came near that man might not just read about God and His love and His mercy but see Him close up. God’s justice and holiness were explained by the Mosaic Law. His grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ so that the fulness of His character is seen.

As the Word, Jesus not only explains God, He explains man In the flesh, He is the picture of what the revelation of God is intended to produce in the human frame. No man can say, “I don’t see it.” No one can argue, “God is not clear on this point.” God did not just give orders. He gave us a picture, a living Word, so that we might fully know what He has in mind for us.

“The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory.” Behold Him today. To see Him is to see God and to see yourself as you ought to be.

How to Use This Blog

The purpose of this little booklet (blog) is stated in the title, The Family Together. It’s intended to get the family unit together for a period of worship because in the mind of the authors, such is the need of the hour.

The home needs once again to be a center of biblical instruction. Israel’s fathers were charged to diligently teach the commandments of the Law to their sons and daughters in the home and at the market, in their work and at their leisure (Deut. 6:6-8). Israel’s fathers are still charged to bring up their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord (Eph. 6:4).

The burden of biblical instruction for our families cannot be left to the church. The bible class is an expedient, a supplement—it was not God’s plan for grounding children in the faith. Just as surely as the evangelist is charged to preach and the elder to shepherd, the father is commanded to superintend the spiritual instruction of his household. To do otherwise is to leave the Lord’s church and the bible class with a responsibility that it cannot fulfill and to set ourselves up for continual disappointments and inadequate results.

You can read this book (blog) by yourself if you wish, but when you do, you miss the benefit of the family together. It’s the need of the hour. It’s the answer to the ills of the home and the influences of culture. Get the family together. You’ll be glad you did!
