Jonah rebelliously flees the call of God, but saves the sailors. Even our evil can become an instrument of God's purposes.

John 5:19-30,19 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise. 20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. And greater works than these will he show him, so that you may marvel. 21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will. 22 For the Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.25 “Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. 27 And he has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.30 “I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me. It's Palm Sunday, and I do love “Holy Week” and these last seven days leading up to Easter next Sunday. And that last verse we just read sounds like Holy Week, does it not? Jesus says in verse 30,“I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.”On Thursday night, Jesus will kneel in the garden, and in those final moments before soldiers come to get him, he will pray, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will” (Matthew 26:39).How do you get your soul ready to say “not my will but yours be done”? Answer: you don't say it for the first time in garden. You say it in John 5:30, and you say it in John 6:38: “I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me.” And you pray it every morning and throughout your life: “Your kingdom come, your will be done.” Day by day, you condition your soul to will God's will.I'm not saying you train yourself to bite your lip and not do what you want but what God wants. Rather, you condition your wants. You train your desires and delights, like Jesus did. When he says “not my will,” he means not what my human, creaturely will would will apart from God's will, but rather, with God's will in view, and with a love for God and his will, and with my will formed to embrace and cherish God's will, I will, with my human will, what is also the divine will I share with my Father.One Little WordLast week in John 5, we saw Jesus heal a man who had been paralyzed for 38 years. How did he heal him? With his voice. One little word:Jesus said to him, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.” And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked. (verses 8–9)The Jewish leaders see the man carrying his bed and say, Hey, you can't do that on the Sabbath! So, they make their way to Jesus to press him about it. And Jesus could have entered into the fray on their terms. He could have said, I didn't break the Sabbath. I only said a word and healed a man who'd been paralyzed for 38 years. But Jesus doesn't respond on their terms. Instead, he says, in verse 17, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.”“My Father” — now these Jewish leaders are “seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God” (verse 18).That's the issue on the table, the issue to which Jesus responds in verses 19–47. This morning we'll look at verses 19–30, then next week, verses 30–47.There are a few key concepts on the surface of verses 19–30. You heard them in the reading of the passage. Twice Jesus mentions “marveling.” Verse 20: he wants them to marvel, to be shaken from their unbelief. And verse 28: he says not to marvel yet because something even more marvelous is coming.Also on the surface is the relationship between Jesus and the Father, and their working in synch to give life and execute judgment.But what's harder to see at first pass is how much the word of Jesus, or the voice of Jesus, knits this whole section together. It was the word or voice of Jesus that started this controversy. How did Jesus heal the man? He spoke. No bandages or braces. No oil or medicine. He just says, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.”Who else works like this through simply uttering his voice? Answer: God. How did God create the world? Through his word. And he gives life through his word, upholds the universe through his word, and sends his Word, who gives spiritual life through his word and in the end will raise the dead, good and evil, through his word.Then, how is it that Jesus gets himself into hotter water with the Jewish leaders? Through his voice, his word. He says, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.” So they want to kill him all the more, and think he's “making himself equal with God.” And now Jesus will again speak in verses 19–30. So, let's see three marvelous words he speaks with his voice, and about his voice.1. The voice of Jesus commends his Father. (Verses 19–20)Jesus's first response to the charge that he is making himself equal with God is that it's not what they think. He starts with “it's less than you think.” But then he's going to say, essentially, “it's almost what you think,” and then finish with, “it's more than what you think.” But first verses 19–20:Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise. 20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. And greater works than these will he show him, so that you may marvel.So, first, Jesus deescalates: “the Son can do nothing of his own accord.” And he'll come back here in verse 30: “I can do nothing on my own.” It's almost the exact same humble, dependent words — he just says “I” in verse 30 and calls himself “the Son” in verse 19. Which is important.Jesus mentioned his Father in verse 17: “My Father is working till now, and I am working.” So, God is his Father, and he is the Son. And the first thing he says about that, which distinguishes Father from Son, puts Jesus in the humble, dependent position of sonship: “I can do nothing on my own.”Jesus is not the Father. And the Father is not the Son. There are not two Gods. Jesus is not “making himself God” alongside God. This is not ditheism. Rather, this will come to be known as Christian monotheism.But then, granting that dependent, humble sonship, Jesus escalates things again. At the end of verse 19, he says, the Son does “whatever the Father does,” and then in verse 20: “the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing.” So, not only is this Father-Son relationship less than what the Jewish leaders assume, but it is almost what they assume. Jesus is not independent of his Father, but neither is the Father independent of the Son.This passage, along with many others, is why Christians confess the doctrine of “the Threeness,” the Trinity. There is a threeness in the one God — and very soon in this Gospel we'll hear more about the Spirit. The claims Jesus makes in John 5 reveal within the one God a plurality of persons. The Father is God. And the Son is God. But the Son is not the Father. What's striking in John 5 is the ordered equality between Father and Son. Consider what Jesus says the Father does in these verses: The Father acts first; the Son sees what the Father does and the Son does likewise.The Father loves the Son and shows the Son; the Son is beloved and shown. The Father has given all judgment to the Son, that all might honor the Son like they do the Father. And the Father has given the Son authority to execute judgment. Not vice versa. Not reciprocal.As we'll see in verse 26: The Father has life in himself, and he grants the Son to have life in himself.If we wanted to sum up the relation between Father and Son we might say the Father gives, and the Son receives. The Father gives cues; the Son takes them. The Father gives the Son guidance and direction, and gives all judgment to the Son, and gives honor to the Son, and he gives him “life in himself.”A word for fathers in the room. (This is relevant for mothers too, but especially fathers.) Fathers, if you had to name the difference between you and your children, what would it be? You wouldn't say, I'm human and their children. No, you're human; they're human. Human nature is not the difference between father and son. Soon enough, the children grow up, and you're all adults together. Rather, what you'd say, most fundamentally, is that the father begets his children. That is, he and their mother give them life. They generate the children.And a good father keeps giving to his children, giving himself, his energy, his attention — yes, his money, but oh so much more than just finances — your presence, your listening, your patience, your counsel, your prayers, your example, your priorities, your love. You give and give and give, until one day, they are ready to give and give and give to give life to the next generation.So, Dads — and Moms too, but focusing on Dads right now — Dads, that's the very heart of our calling: give and give and give. And it's a glorious honor and profound joy. To be like our heavenly Father who gives and gives and gives. And Dads, we're not God the Father. Human dads get tired; we run on fumes, we get empty; we sin; we're impatient, unloving, unsupportive, distracted, inattentive, emotionally absent. But the difference between a good human father and a bad one isn't that one makes mistakes and the other doesn't. The difference is whether the human father, when in sin, when empty, when failing, knows and goes to his heavenly Father to get help — both forgiveness and fresh effort. Dads, your energy, your emotional resources, your love is not bottomless like our Father's. And that's okay. Because your fundamental identity is not father but son; your Father has life in himself, and his capital-S Son, Jesus, our brother, has life in himself, and they never tire and never empty. You know where to refill when you're empty.2. The voice of Jesus gives life to whom he desires. (Verses 21–27)Jesus says at the end of verse 20, “And greater works than these will he show him, so that you may marvel.” Impressive as it is to heal a man who could not walk — and do so with only a word — Jesus and his Father have greater works in store, to make people marvel, and so shake them from their unbelief. Now, verses 21–27 are very dense. Let's first read verses 21–23, and talk about the honor of the Son (and then verses 24–27). Verse 21:For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life [that is, he is God, this is what God does], so also the Son gives life to whom he will. 22 For the Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.We'll say more in a minute about the Father himself judging no one but giving all judgment to the Son. This he does, Jesus says, “that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father.”And then comes the inverse: “Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.” And there is scarcely a more incendiary word in our world today. Not that it was easy then. Can you imagine, a man in flesh and blood, standing before the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem saying, “The one true God, the God of the Hebrew Scriptures, has given all judgment to me, that all might honor me, just as they honor him”? So, it was incendiary then. And in our pluralistic world, the offenses multiply. This is not only a word for Jewish people today. This is a word for Muslims, and Buddhists, and Hindus, and various folk religions, and the so-called “irreligious,” and for anyone presuming to be a Christian. Check yourself here, not just your neighbor.This is the question for every religion and every human: Do you honor God? Do Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, and nice, charitable secular people honor God? Verse 23 says the issue is this: Do they honor the Son? What do they do with Jesus? How do they orient on Jesus? What do they believe and say about Jesus? Do they honor the divine Son for who he is, and what he says, and what he has accomplished, or do they dishonor him as simply a moral man and good teacher and influential person? Which makes him into a liar or lunatic.Jesus is the dividing line in every soul: “Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life” (1 John 5:12).So, the negative word, the distancing word, is “No Jesus, no spiritual life.” But what about the positive word? Verse 21 says, “the Son gives life to whom he will.” What about them? Verse 24:Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. 25 “Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. 27 And he has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man.Oh this is such good news. The voice of Jesus gives life, even now, to those who hear him with faith. Verse 24 is in the present: “whoever hears my word and believes,” and Jesus says that person “has eternal life.” Not: will have, someday. But: has, right now. Jesus says the hour “is now here, when the (spiritually) dead will hear his voice and their souls will live.”And there's one more “has” in verse 24. If you hear Jesus's word even now, and believe in him and his Father who sent him, Jesus says you do not come into judgment but have (already) passed from death to life.The all-important question this morning is, Do you believe in him now? Has he opened the eyes of your heart to see him in his glory, and believe his words, and receive him as sent from his Father, and trust him for the forgiveness of your sins, then have eternal life in your soul already? Now, you don't have the fullness of all that eternal life will be — no sin, new heavens and new earth, glorified human body, surrounded by those who love and worship Jesus. But that simple faith in your soul — that coming awake in your heart to Jesus — is new life in your once spiritually dead heart. And that new life is the first taste and beginning of the full eternal life we will experience when Jesus returns.When Jesus says about you, “He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life,” you know how we might say that in the words of Paul? “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” This, friends, is justification by faith alone. If you believe now in Jesus, eternal life has begun in you. If your faith is genuine, it is the very life of God in you and will endure to and blossom one day into the fullness of eternal life. Already, through faith, there is no condemnation.And marvelous as that is — almost too good to be true — Jesus has one last marvel for us in verses 28–29. 3. The voice of Jesus will raise all the dead. (Verses 28–29)It's one thing to heal a paralyzed man with a word, and take on the Jewish leaders by yourself. It's another thing, then, to speak a word and give life to a dead soul, as you choose — and an increasing number of dead souls. But Jesus takes us to one further level in verses 28–29.We saw the “now” in verse 25: “an hour is coming, and is now here.” So, I take verses 21–27 to be about the present, from the first century to the 21st century. But these last two verses turn to an hour that is coming, and not here yet. Look at verses 28–29:Do not marvel at this [the power Jesus has to speak life into spiritually dead souls even now], for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.Earlier we heard that the Father “has given all judgment to the Son.” Verses 24–27 fleshed this out in terms of the spiritual life the Son gives now to dead souls. But verses 28–29 give us what it will mean in the future. Not only does the voice of the Son — springing from the will of the Son, perfectly in sync with the will of the Father — give spiritual life now to his people, but one day the voice of the Son will ring in the ears of all the dead: “all who are in the tombs will hear his voice and come out.” Come out to what? To the final judgment, with the Son presiding.We skipped over the phrase “the Son of Man” at the end of verse 27. These verses are so dense, and Jesus is laying it on so thick here, that the end of verse 27 comes and goes by so quickly. But it is a stunning claim.“Son of Man” is an ambiguous phrase. It could just mean a man, or human. Like Psalm 8, “what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?” Or, throughout Ezekiel, God calls him as “Son of man.” It's a humbling term. “Son of man, know your place. Not only are you a man, but the son of one.” But “Son of Man” is also the name of this enigmatic figure who steps forward in a vision of the final judgment in Daniel 7:As I looked, thrones were placed, and the Ancient of Days took his seat; his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames; its wheels were burning fire. 10 A stream of fire issued and came out from before him; a thousand thousands served him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him; the court sat in judgment, and the books were opened. . . . . . . and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him. 14 And to him was given dominion and glory [honor!] and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed. So, two meanings for the phrase “son of man” — one humble one, and one exalted. And throughout Jesus's ministry, as he refers to himself as “the Son of Man,” it's often tough to tell exactly which one he means. But here in John 5, with the final judgment in view, it's clear what Jesus means, even if he passes over it quickly. And it's Daniel 12 he alludes to when he mentions the resurrection of all, some to eternal life and some to judgment. A messenger from God says in Daniel 12:2,“those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.”And now Jesus says, My voice will do that. I am the God-exalted Son of Man, and my Father has given me the authority, as man, to execute judgment. One day soon, I will speak, and all the dead will hear my voice. And if they have believed in me, and have life in them from me, I will raise their bodies and glorify them and they will pass into the fullness of eternal life. And if they have rejected me, and not had life in them but continued in evil and unbelief, I will raise their bodies and send them into everlasting judgment and shame.Which brings us back, in verse 30, to Jesus's humble word he started with in verse 19. The divine Son never goes rogue in willing what he wills, or saying what he says, or doing what he does, or judging how he judges. Jesus says,“I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.”Resurrection LifeSo, we come to the Table, and we remember the one who knelt in the garden. One day soon the Son of Man will sit in judgment over the nations. But during Holy Week, we remember what he achieved to offer life to sinners like us. The one who will sit in judgment is the one who rode in honor into Jerusalem on a donkey and staggered out in shame on Good Friday carrying his own cross. He's the one who knelt on Thursday with sweat like drops of blood as he faced the cross for sins not his own. He's the one who was crucified on Friday, lay dead in the tomb that night, and all day that final Sabbath, till early Sunday morning, when his Father, who raises the dead and gives them life, gave him the indestructible life of the new creation — the very life that is in us now who trust him by faith.

Send us a textPerfectionism is that sneaky little voice that whispers you're not good enough for God's purpose masquerading as excellence when it's really just fear wearing fancy clothes. Sound familiar? I've been there too.For years, I delayed starting this podcast, launching ministries, and stepping into my calling because everything needed to be "perfect" first. I wouldn't even record video episodes because I thought I needed the perfect setup, perfect makeup, and perfect background. Today I'm showing up with no makeup, wearing a hat, because I finally learned what matters is showing up, not showing up perfect.This spiritual roadblock affects so many believers. We think we can't pray because our words aren't eloquent enough, can't serve because our lives aren't together enough, can't lead because our knowledge isn't deep enough. But here's the beautiful truth: God doesn't call perfect people. Look at the disciples, Peter denied Jesus three times, Thomas doubted, Mary Magdalene had a dark past, yet these were the very people Jesus chose to launch His church.Research shows over 70% of people experience imposter syndrome, especially women in leadership and creative roles. That nagging feeling of "I don't belong here" or "If they knew the real me..." isn't unique to you—it's a nearly universal experience. Our brains are literally wired to trigger fight-or-flight responses when we feel like frauds, causing us to procrastinate on our purpose.I'm sharing five practical strategies that helped me break free from perfectionism paralysis, along with scripture that reminds us God's power is made perfect in our weakness. When that voice of inadequacy creeps up, remember: Jesus knew exactly who you were when He chose you, and He chose you anyway.What ministry, book, business or calling are you delaying because it doesn't feel perfect enough? Your purpose isn't waiting for perfection, it's waiting for your willingness to show up authentically. Start where you are, pray anyway, serve anyway, speak anyway. God will meet you there.Connect with Leslie: Follow on IG: @yourjoyfulorderstyle Website: https://www.yourjoyfulorder.com/Email: lmartinez@yourjoyfulorder.com to schedule- Speaking Events, Interviews or Life Coaching SessionsShop my SOAP the Gospels Journal on Shopify: https://shopjoyfulorder.com/Watch this Episode on You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsXoAYIM2mfclNtYiaOzIUw Shop my Journal (Gratitude, Goals & Prayer Journal) on Amazon:https://a.co/d/09Djvaw Book a FREE 30 Minute Discovery Coaching Call: https://tidycal.com/joyfulordermedia/30-minute-meeting

Question: Did God leave all mankind to perish in the estate of sin and misery? Answer: God having, out of his mere good pleasure, from all eternity, elected some to everlasting life, did enter into a covenant of grace, to deliver them out of the estate of sin and misery, and to bring them into an estate of salvation by a Redeemer.

Why do we ask a false self we made up for answers to anything? What is "not true" would only offer us "untruths" as answers. Any concept of the self as "sinful" would have to be a gross adjustment from the Reality of Who we are as God Created us. We are trying to "render imperfect" Who God Created perfect. We deny our perfection, and then seek guidance from the flawed and limited "self" we made up, forgetting that the Self God Created is accessible to us immediately, fully intact in the innocence God Created. What "adjustment" would be needed in the acceptance of this True Self we share with our Divine Source, and all of our brothers and sisters as well? The Answer God gives is some form of Peace. We accept our Self, and also the Self of our brothers, as purely innocent. This acceptance puts us into a Heaven friendly "state of receptivity." From there God can make His final step to us, and draw us nigh into the Paradise we have been promised as our birthright.

Istrouma Baptist Church (BR) Feb 4, 2024 ========== February 4 | Acts Welcome! We're glad you've joined us today for our Sunday morning worship service! For more information about Istrouma, go to istrouma.org or contact us at info@istrouma.org. We glorify God by making disciples of all nations. ========== Connection Card https://istrouma.org/myinfo February 4, 2024 Tim Keith ‭‭Acts‬ ‭3‬:‭11‬-‭21‬‬ While he was holding on to Peter and John, all the people, utterly astonished, ran toward them in what is called Solomon's Colonnade. When Peter saw this, he addressed the people: “Fellow Israelites, why are you amazed at this? Why do you stare at us, as though we had made him walk by our own power or godliness? The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our ancestors, has glorified his servant Jesus, whom you handed over and denied before Pilate, though he had decided to release him. You denied the Holy and Righteous One and asked to have a murderer released to you. You killed the source of life, whom God raised from the dead; we are witnesses of this. By faith in his name, his name has made this man strong, whom you see and know. So the faith that comes through Jesus has given him this perfect health in front of all of you. “And now, brothers and sisters, I know that you acted in ignorance, just as your leaders also did. In this way God fulfilled what he had predicted through all the prophets — that his Messiah would suffer. Therefore repent and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped out, that seasons of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send Jesus, who has been appointed for you as the Messiah. Heaven must receive him until the time of the restoration of all things, which God spoke about through his holy prophets from the beginning. 1. ​God Requires Us To Repent ‭‭Acts‬ ‭3‬:‭19‬‬ Therefore repent and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped out, God's not looking for your apology, He's looking for your repentance. “godly sorrow (2 Corinthians 7:10) Acts 26:20 First to those in Damascus, then to those in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and to the Gentiles also, I preached that they should repent and turn to God and prove their repentance by their deeds. 2. God Provides Us The Opportunity To Repent 3:12 – “When Peter saw this, he addressed the people… “ 3:21 – “until the time of the restoration of all things” 3. God Rewards Us When We Repent ‭‭Acts‬ ‭3‬:‭19‬-‭21‬‬ Therefore repent and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped out, that seasons of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send Jesus, who has been appointed for you as the Messiah. Heaven must receive him until the time of the restoration of all things, which God spoke about through his holy prophets from the beginning. Question: Once we repent, how do we continue to live in this repentance? Answer: God's Word and God's People ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭42‬‬ They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer. Romans 2:4 God's kindness is intended to lead you to repentance ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭30‬‬ And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of the parts of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.
