[4475.02 --> 4476.28] Jesus is like, it's better that I go. |
[4476.28 --> 4477.22] What does he say next? |
[4478.68 --> 4482.28] For you will do greater things than these. |
[4483.30 --> 4484.38] And most of us are like, |
[4484.44 --> 4485.58] I don't know if I believe that either. |
[4485.90 --> 4487.14] But what Jesus knows |
[4487.14 --> 4489.10] that the church does not yet know |
[4489.10 --> 4490.72] is that he's going to ascend |
[4490.72 --> 4491.50] to be with the Father. |
[4491.66 --> 4493.18] And the first thing he's going to do |
[4493.18 --> 4495.04] is pour out the very power |
[4495.04 --> 4495.84] of the resurrection |
[4495.84 --> 4498.20] through the Holy Spirit on the church |
[4498.20 --> 4499.84] so that they can do, |
[4500.66 --> 4502.04] that we can do |
[4502.04 --> 4505.36] the same things that Jesus did. |
[4507.18 --> 4509.14] John Mark Homer, an author I quite like, |
[4509.24 --> 4510.44] he describes discipleship |
[4510.44 --> 4512.00] in three simple phrases. |
[4512.80 --> 4514.34] Discipleship is being with Jesus, |
[4515.46 --> 4517.36] it's becoming like Jesus in our character, |
[4517.98 --> 4520.78] and it is doing what Jesus did. |
[4521.16 --> 4522.96] When Jesus ascends to be with the Father |
[4522.96 --> 4524.28] and he pours out his Spirit, |
[4524.60 --> 4526.14] he says to all of his believers, |
[4526.64 --> 4528.66] you now get to do |
[4528.66 --> 4530.90] what I have done |
[4530.90 --> 4532.40] by my Spirit. |
[4532.88 --> 4534.56] And that's a word for every single one of us |
[4534.56 --> 4535.10] this morning. |
[4536.22 --> 4537.82] And now for the next few minutes, |
[4537.82 --> 4538.62] I'm going to wrap up |
[4538.62 --> 4540.30] not just this morning's message, |
[4540.62 --> 4541.94] but all three talks |
[4541.94 --> 4543.72] on Jesus as our prophet, |
[4544.06 --> 4544.74] our priest, |
[4544.92 --> 4545.58] and our king |
[4545.58 --> 4546.56] by saying that Jesus |
[4546.56 --> 4549.00] invites every single one of us |
[4549.00 --> 4551.22] into the ministry of prophecy, |
[4552.36 --> 4553.24] of priestliness, |
[4553.98 --> 4555.04] and of his kingship. |
[4555.16 --> 4555.78] Do you know this? |
[4556.52 --> 4557.56] Jesus invites us now |
[4557.56 --> 4558.98] to do what he does. |
[4559.06 --> 4560.44] This is what it means in Acts 1 |
[4560.44 --> 4561.16] when Jesus says, |
[4561.16 --> 4562.14] your identity |
[4562.14 --> 4564.66] is to be my witnesses. |
[4565.94 --> 4567.40] You now get to share |
[4567.40 --> 4567.96] in the ministry |
[4567.96 --> 4569.36] of his prophetic words, |
[4569.68 --> 4571.20] of his priestly intercession, |
[4571.56 --> 4572.76] and his kingly rule. |
[4573.30 --> 4573.92] And is it okay now |
[4573.92 --> 4574.68] if I take a few minutes |
[4574.68 --> 4575.38] to tease that out? |
[4577.32 --> 4578.26] You church, |
[4578.56 --> 4579.22] along with me, |
[4579.32 --> 4580.48] get to be the ones |
[4580.48 --> 4581.68] who just like Jesus, |
[4582.28 --> 4584.08] speak God's word. |
[4584.44 --> 4584.62] Right? |
[4585.04 --> 4585.68] On Friday night, |
[4585.72 --> 4586.24] we looked at how |
[4586.24 --> 4587.38] the primary work |
[4587.38 --> 4588.04] of a prophet |
[4588.04 --> 4589.08] in the Old Testament |
[4589.08 --> 4591.48] was to speak God's word. |
[4591.84 --> 4593.12] And every single one of us |
[4593.12 --> 4594.80] is invited to teach it |
[4594.80 --> 4595.98] to those who God |
[4595.98 --> 4597.96] puts authority under us, |
[4598.08 --> 4599.30] as well as to share it |
[4599.30 --> 4600.22] with those around us. |
[4600.48 --> 4601.04] And here's why |
[4601.04 --> 4601.74] I'm going to pause |
[4601.74 --> 4602.36] and say, |
[4603.08 --> 4604.06] praise the Lord |
[4604.06 --> 4605.46] for every youth leader |
[4605.46 --> 4606.02] in this room. |
[4606.08 --> 4606.38] And actually, |
[4606.44 --> 4607.30] I want the youth leaders |
[4607.30 --> 4607.74] who are here |
[4607.74 --> 4608.72] to raise their hands. |
[4609.80 --> 4610.46] There you are. |
[4610.64 --> 4612.16] I am so thankful |
[4612.16 --> 4613.38] for what you do |
[4613.38 --> 4614.68] like on Tuesday nights |
[4614.68 --> 4615.48] and Thursday nights |
[4615.48 --> 4616.32] and Friday nights |
[4616.32 --> 4617.88] in like church basements |
[4617.88 --> 4618.74] and living rooms |
[4618.74 --> 4619.50] of people in the church. |
[4619.78 --> 4620.66] You are teaching |
[4620.66 --> 4621.30] the scriptures |
[4621.30 --> 4623.50] to this next generation |
[4623.50 --> 4624.40] and that is one |
[4624.40 --> 4626.12] of the most essential tasks |
[4626.12 --> 4627.22] for the church today. |
