8/7/2016 蘭雅禮拜堂 陳國文弟兄
經文：可10:17-22 路3:7-17
永生的要件：
1.受誡命
2.變賣所有，分給窮人
3.跟從耶穌
一，做善事得永生？誡命是善事嗎？誰給你永生，誰給好報？好事不是你定義的，是給你好處的人定的。若是好人住在深山中沒有意義，還不是一顆樹，它也不殺人害人，卻淨化空氣，不會製造污染。
二，少年人沒有愛人如己就沒有守誡命
可 3:1-5 守誡命，不變賣所有分給窮人
守誡命過於愛人，只看誡命不看病人需要
老虎與懷孕的母貓路上相遇，貓心中想怎麼有貓吃到這麼胖，老虎想怎麼這麼小就懷孕。都是以自己的觀點來看事情。
守誡命，變賣所有，分給窮人，不跟從耶穌。
沒人看見仍行善是本相。企業做善事，取好形象，他們已經拿到報酬了。
跟從耶穌，不守誡命，變賣所有分給窮人
是基督徒嗎？
約翰對那要受洗的人說：結出果子來，與悔改的心相稱。問的人有錢所以耶穌要他變賣所有的分給窮人，若問的人不是有錢人，耶穌不會這樣問。
有兩件衣服的要分給別人
承受永生的條件？
沒有資格，條件，時間限制
跟隨耶穌
結出果子與悔改的心相稱
不能承受永生的人，不能承受神的國
不能進去與進去後得不到是一樣的
沒有付出就得不到上帝的福。來教會，只是聽，點頭，只有得到人的讚美。

Totally obey and follow God's words
Acts 9:10-19a
The Lord called a disciple named Ananias to him in a vision.
Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tausus named Saul, for he is praying.
The Lord said to Ananias, "Go! this man is my chosen instrument to carry my name before the Gentiles and their kings and before the people of Israel. I will show him how much he must suffer for my name."
Ananias placing his hands on Saul, said "The Lord - Jesus who sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit..."
By the time Ananias to do but think. Saul the persecutor has become 'Brother Saul' - a man who will suffer much for the cause he tried to stamp out. His immense energy is given at once to preaching Jesus as Son of God; and opposition begins.
Tarsus: A university city with a population of half a million; meeting-place of East and west, Greek and Oriental.
Why?
God chosen any kind of men as instrument for his mission to preaching gospel and be good witnesses.
Go is the action, obey God's command and go out, God is with us.
Ananias knew Saul had persecuted saints in Jerusalem but he call Brother Saul, he is fully obey God's way and instruction, for he is fear the Lord and had faith to the Lord. From world's perspective go to meet Saul is dangerous action.
I would subdue to the Lord rather to others, for God is good.
What will make me not obey God's word? My fresh desires.
How?
Follow and obey God's word is the best choice! Make right choice is better than any others.

Preach gospel without fear for God is with us
Acts 9:1-9
Saul on the way to Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him.
For three days he was blind and did not eat or drink anything.
Saul's confrontation with Jesus, on the road to the old Syrian capital, Damascus, marks a turning-point in the history of the early church. The story is told three times in Acts.
Never has any conversion brought a more radical change. The blinding light leaves Saul sightless for three days, with nothing to do but think.
The way: The church was known by this name before the people of Antioch invented the new name 'Christian'
Persecute me: Those who persecute his followers persecute Jesus himself.
Jesus told Saul," I want you to get up and enter the city. In the city you'll be told what to do next."
Why?
Jesus looked his follower be persecuted as himself be persecuted, so Jesus make judge on this.
Turn to the Lord is the work of the Lord, only Jesus Christ can make the stone heart become soft heart. Only Jesus Christ can save us from sin and dead.
Jesus wanted use Saul to preach gospel so Jesus told Saul enter the city and waited three days.
Saul was proud with his power and leader to persecute Jesus followers, now he found he can do nothing. he need others to lead his hand to the town. So he become humble and knew Jesus.
How?
Preach Jesus Christ and good news to others, no matter how worse he is, Jesus Christ is our savior to all of us. Do not afraid anyone only listen to the leading of Holy Spirit.

Remove any obstacle between me and Holy Spirit
Acts 8:35-40
Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus.
They came to some water an the eunuch said,"Look, here is water, Why shouldn't I be baptized?"
When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away.
Philip, however, appeared at Azotus and traveled about, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he reached Caesarea.
Caesarea: Philip seems to have settled at this sea-port and brought up a family.
Azotus: the old Philistine city of Ashdod.
Why?
Philip knew that preaching gospel is his mission from the Lord. And he has the power to do this mission. Holy Spirit is with Philip.
When the work is leading by the Holy Spirit I can preach gospel under any situation.
What is the obstacle makes me can not connect with the Holy Spirit? my selfish mind and personal thought.
How?
Obey God's word and follow Holy Spirit's leading to preach gospel. I am glad that I can led Annie turn to Jesus last night. Prayed for her and let her know that Jesus is her Lord.

God is the mater in my life and the master of missionary
Acts 8:26-34
An angel of the Lord said to Philip, "Go south to the road - the desert road - that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza." So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian eunuch, an important official in charge of all the treasury of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians.
Do you understand what you are reading? Book of Isaiah the prophet.
At the height of Philip's flourishing Samaritan campaign God calls him away to meet the need of an individual. Eunuchs were barred(禁止) from the Temple, but God know this foreigner is read to receive the Good News about Jesus.
An Ethiopian: The man, a Jewish convert, was treasurer of the old kingdom of Cush, in northern Sudan.
Candace: The title of the queen mother who ruled the country on behalf of her son. The king himself, defiled as the child of the sun-god, was considered too holy for such secular(世俗) functions.
Scripture: Isaiah 53:7-8 The quotation is from the Greek text which differs slightly from the Hebrew text on which out Old Testament is based.
Why?
Philip is obey the guiding of the Holy Spirit and angel. Even he was preaching Jesus in Samaritan well. God knows which mission is more important.
God led Philip to the desert, it might let us do not why? But God has his way and his work, Philip is join the work of God.
God is the master in all those good news preaching.
How?
Our life is same as above story, God is my master in my life, I need to subdue to the Lord, who knows my way and work with the Lord will be he best. I accepted to attend the gospel team of Japan on November. I believe that if is the way of the Lord, God will handle all of schedule for me.

Keep the right heart before the Lord
Acts 8:14-25
Simon offered money to Peter and John, and said,"give me also this ability so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit."
Peter answered:"May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money! You have no part or share in this ministry, because your heart is not right before God. Repent of this wickedness and pray o the Lord. Perhaps he will forgive you for having such a thought in your heart."
Simon asked Peter pray to the Lord for him.
Wherever the scattered believers went they took the message with them - in Philip's case with such marked success that two of the apostles come down to see what is happening. It is Philip's power which draws Simon, and he covets the power to convey the gift of the Spirit, needing Peter's stern words to set him right.
Why?
Every believer has the Spirit of God; But there is special significance sign of the coming of the Spirit - given when the apostles officially recognize these members of the despised enemy nation as equal citizens in Gods kingdom.
Keep the right heart is necessary before the Lord, God knows our heart rather than other man.
Simon looked Holy Spirit as an idol, as an religious sign. So Peter blamed Simon.
Holy Spirit comes from the Lord, it is the grace from the Lord, it is the authority of the Lord, so nothing can exchange to get it.
How?
Listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit, keep right heart before the Lord. Do not need to pursue the Holy Spirit but follow and obey God's word, trust in Jesus Christ. Holy Spirit will comes upon us in God's time.

Suffering become the opportunity of blessing
Acts 8:1-13
On that day a great persecution broke out against the church at Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria.
Philip went down to a city in Samaria and proclaimed the Christ there.
So there was great joy in that city for with shrieks, evil spirits came out of many and many paralytics and cripples were healed.
Simon the sorcerer who followed Philip everywhere, astonished by the great signs and miracles he saw.
Te persecution that follows Stephen's dead leads to the first broadening of the church's outreach. The attack seems to have concentrated on Stephen's fellow-Hellenists(Greek-speaking Jews), leaving the apostles free to remain in Jerusalem.
Though hated by the Jews, the Samaritans, too, believed in coming Messiah. They were ready to hear, as Jesus had said and responded eagerly.
Why?
God let persecution happened for let the follower may preach the gospel to Samaritans and to the world.
Suffering has God's beautiful way for all of his follower. Suffering to the believer mean a blessing in the next steps.
How?
Look on the Jesus Christ and all the suffering will be great blessing from the Lord. So the suffering may become the opportunity of blessing.
