How Leaders Should See The Church!

‘How Leaders Should See The Church.’

1 Thessalonians 2:19-20.

a)  Before the Lord Jesus Christ.

b)  At His Coming.

c)  The Church should be seen as the Leaders’:-

1- Hope.

2- Joy.

3- Crown of boasting.

4- Glory.

d)  Philippians 4:1. The Church should be the Leaders’:-

1- Beloved.

2- Longed for people.

3- Joy.

4- Crown.

e)  2 Thessalonians 1:4. The Leaders’ boast.

‘Freedom Is The Will Of Jesus Christ For His People.’

John 8:31-36.

a)  John 8:31. Jesus was speaking to the Jewish people who had Believed in Him.

b)  John 8:31; 15:7-8. They were to continue in His Word and truly be His Disciples. (This was the alternative to staying in their traditions)

c)  John 8:32; Romans 8:2. They would then know the Truth and the Truth would make them free.

d)  John 8:33. These Believing Jews had an incorrect concept because of their religious background.

e)  John 8:34. Jesus taught them about the bondage of sin.

f)  John 8:35. Slaves are not a permanent part of the family. Only sons and daughters are a permanent part of the family.

g)  John 8:36; 1 Peter 2:16. If the Son sets us free then we are free indeed.

(This Second one teaches me that Freedom Is The Will Of Jesus Christ For His People)

Chris.

We cannot stay in religious traditions that bind us. We need to be living in the Truths of God’s Word. If we live in religious traditions, whatever kind of traditions they are, we can never grow and develop as True Believers. It was not only the Jews of Jesus’ days that had to face this issue. Many sincere “Christian” people face this issue today. Do we stay in religious traditions that bind us, or do we let the Son of God set us free to live a new life in Him?
