Unfolding Words

We live in an age when the lost art of listening to God’s Word is an epidemic. 1 Timothy 4:13 says, "Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching." In this verse, Paul is instructing a young preacher named Timothy in the ways that he can keep his congregation engaged. The importance of preaching and teaching are easy enough to understand, but what about the public reading of Scripture?

In our lives, we have this tendency to create tour own personal Tower of Babels. When we do that, we reveal the rebellion that existed thousands of years ago in the hearts of those who erected the first Tower of Babel.
 
We get a new job and build our success up without thinking about the glory of God. We build up our bank accounts, our retirement plans, our houses, our names, our resume, our reputation--with our eye on success but not on God. Instead of settling down roots and building up a name for ourselves, how about setting down roots in God and spreading out with the gospel by living as salt and light in the world.

Christ has called you to be a “royal priesthood” where your role is to join Him in reigning and guarding God’s glory and honor. Like the Levites, Christians have been scattered to proclaim God’s Word and guard His worship.

The Levites were not just priests—they were soldier-priests. Their priestly origin is based in righteous violence. But God put the violent nature of the Levites to good use. Not only would the priests slaughter animals on a regular basis for sacrifice—using their “swords” for God, but also all the Levites would guard the tabernacle/temple and the cities of refuge. Yahweh ordained and scattered the Levites throughout Israel in order to guard His worship.

While we would like to be the hero in God's triumphal parade, truth is we are former enemies of Christ. In the Roman triumph, some of the captives would be let go—given a chance to live. While others were put to death. This is a strong imagery—we are given new life in Christ while at the same time dying to self and on our way to death. Captives, whose lives are being used to spread forth the beautiful aroma of Christ wherever we go. Like Paul, God continually leads us to death in a triumphal procession and in this way everywhere reveals the knowledge of him.

Salt is a preservative that works only when it penetrates into food, and becomes useless when contaminated by other chemical substances. It must remain pure to do its job. In the same way, Christ followers must influence society while keeping themselves from being influenced by sin in the world.

Similarly, light cuts through darkness. To know the truth and fail to stand for it, Jesus says, is as senseless as lighting a lamp and putting it under a basket. In other words, we don’t just live out our faith inside the walls of our churches and of our homes. We’re not to be of the world, but we’re to be in the world. We’re citizens of an earthly kingdom as well as a heavenly one.

When Moses established the 12 tribes of Israel, God set apart one tribe, the Levites. They were set apart (or made holy) to focus one job—to serve Him. The Lord God Himself was the allotment given to the tribe of Levi. As the priestly arm of Israel, God promised to provide for them rather than have them work the land for themselves. 

God set the Levites apart in a second way. Unlike the other tribes, they had no physical allotment of the Promised Land. So they had no place to set down roots and call their own. Seems unfair. However, it was truly a gift. Being set apart allowed the Levites to focus on their call to serve the One True God and His people and worrying about tending to land or conquering enemies. The Lord, not land, was their inheritance. (Numbers 18:20) That was enough. They lived by faith in God’s promised blessing to be their share and their portion.

Deuteronomy 31:8 The LORD Himself goes before you; He will be with you. He will never leave you or forsake you. Do not be afraid or discouraged.

God’s heart for us is that of a good father who doesn’t just send us out without first carving a path. Not only is He always ahead of us carving out a path we are to travel on, but He is there to walk with us as we walk on the path.

God assures us there is no reason to be afraid or discouraged because He’s not going to abandon us.  He has everything under control and all that is going to happen will happen under His watchful eye.

Jesus chose to deliver a great object lesson to His disciples at Caesarea Philippi about HIs identity and their role in response to His identity. In that pagan setting, He encouraged His disciples to build a church that would overcome the worst evils.

The fact that Peter’s confession about Jesus identity occurred  in a pagan area is remarkable enough. But when one learns the history of the area and the traditions associated with it, Peter’s confession of Jesus as the Christ the Son of God takes on greater significance. This confession is declared in the darkest place possible. Jesus asked His disciples who they thought He was, and the light of God shone on the gate of Hades through Peter’s confession.

So who are YOU saying the Jesus is? Is he just someone to pray to for success and prosperity? Is He a good guy to model ourselves after or is He the Messiah. If you truly believer this, then you have to start living like He is and proclaiming this truth clear and loud with words and behavior.

As followers of Jesus, living peaceably with all people should be a hallmark of our lives. Never let yourself be the reason for an un-peaceful relationship with another person. As a believer, you should be known by living peaceably in the neighborhood, in your city, on your job, and show yourself to be pleasant. When people speak of you, one of the things they should say about you is that you are a person of peace. Listen to this episode, to learn how to live in peace with others and walk in the example Jesus Christ left.

Rest assured that if God hears what is happening in an Egyptian servant girl’s world, He hears what is going on in your lives. He hears the things that cut to your very heart – the things which feel as though they are gripping your heart and ripping it out – He hears them. He hears the things which are said against you that are totally unfair and nothing but lies – He hears them. He hears the words that are said to hurt you, He hears the words spoken when bad news is delivered to you, He hears your words uttered through tears and those screamed in anger. Because He hears, we are not alone. Like Hagar God opens our eyes to Him. Then He opens our eyes to His care and His provision.
