In Integers We Trust: The Periodic Table of Materials From Mendeleev to Topology

Materials science has always balanced on the twin pillars of observation and abstraction—from the alchemists' crude recipes to today's AI-driven materials design. In this talk, we begin by revisiting the pre-quantum era, when early chemists grappled with the nature of elements and compounds, and examine how Mendeleev's periodic table first imposed order on the chemical world. We then show that what underpins this table is the surprising power of integers and discrete mathematics—why you can't “slip in” between whole numbers—and trace how that insight underlies quantum mechanics, blurring the boundary between chemistry and physics. Building on these foundations, we survey modern families of functional materials—superconductors, antiferromagnets, charge-density waves, high-temperature superconductors, and semiconductors—and ask what makes them uniquely useful, from microchips to maglev trains. Just as Mendeleev used patterns to predict new elements, we discuss the quantum strategies for classifying the much larger set of materials, formed by these elements, today—introducing topology and topological invariants, showing how band-structure integers classify phases of matter. We highlight online databases that catalog these discoveries. Finally, we look ahead to how machine learning and artificial intelligence, guided by our new periodic table of materials, are revolutionizing the search for novel compounds, ushering in a new era of predictive materials discovery.

The History of Chemistry

The Periodic Table we've all seen in chemistry books and classes is not always the way it was, nor the way it must always be. In this episode we explore all kinds of periodic representations of the properties of elements, from Mendeleev's first published table in 1869, through wide and narrow tables, and spirals. There are even three-dimensional "tables," from helices to submarines, corners of walls, globes, pyramids, and tiles.

Adam creates a hypnosis session based on thought experiments, dreams or imagination that lead to real-life impact. Adam recreates the Einstein thought experiment that was the catalyst for the groundbreaking theory of relativity.  This is the poem Adam uses in this session: Thought and Light In the realm of thought and light, Einstein rode, a beacon bright,   Across the cosmos' endless night, where time and space did intertwine.   With light as steed, he broke the bind,   Revealing truths for all mankind,   A universe, by relativity defined. In a box, both dark and stark, Schrödinger placed a quantum mark,   A feline shrouded in the dark, alive and dead, its fate unsealed.   Observation's power revealed,   Quantum states, no longer concealed,   A paradox, in mystery veiled. From an apple's simple fall, Newton saw the rule that calls,   Gravity, that binds us all, a force unseen yet felt by each.   From the earth to apple's reach,   A universal law he'd teach,   Uniting sky and ground in speech. In ancient baths, so tales recount, Archimedes had his fount,   "Eureka!" rang his joyful shout, buoyancy's secret he did find.   Water's embrace, gentle and kind,   A principle, through insight mined,   In simple acts, great truths aligned. In dreams of night, with elements aligned, Mendeleev's vision shined,   A table of a grand design, where elements found their rightful place.   Predicting natures yet to grace,   The world of science, in embrace,   A dream that time could not erase. Kekulé, in slumber's grip, saw a serpent's tail it did nip,   A ring of carbon, bond and tip, the structure of benzene unveiled.   In dreams where logic had not failed,   A chemical bond, in sleep assailed,   A cyclic dance, in dreams regaled. Feynman's diagrams, lines in sand, sketched by a keen and guiding hand,   Particles at his command, in interactions mapped so clear.   A visual symphony, to hear   With eyes of mind, devoid of fear,   The quantum world, brought ever near. Hawking gazed into the night, where black holes swallowed light in flight,   Yet from their grasp, a wondrous sight – a radiation, faint and slight.   From nothingness, a spark of light,   A theory taking flight,   In blackness, Hawking found the bright. Tesla's vision, clear and strong, of currents flowing swift along,   In dreams where innovation thronged, an alternating path he saw.   Electricity, without flaw,   A world lit up in awe,   From visions that the mind foresaw. In helix form, DNA, where life's secrets quietly lay,   Watson and Crick found the way, a model of life's spiral stair.   Bases paired with utmost care,   A structure, elegant and fair,   In double helix, life's affair. In verses woven, tales are told, of minds that dared to break the mold,   With thoughts and dreams, both brave and bold, they charted paths unknown before.   Through imagination's door,   They ventured, seeking more,   In thought experiments, wisdom's lore.

The periodic table is a chemical icon, that has transcended the boundaries of the chemical sciences to somehow become familiar, almost a staple in several aspects of everyday life. It is the foundation of every chemist's knowledge, but not many understand its deeper meaning, let alone its history and philosophical significance. This is an exciting and unusual episode with one of the biggest names in chemistry, Eric Scerri, historian and scientist and the biggest living expert of the periodic table of the elements. The history and philosophy of chemistry are not common topics for Bringing Chemistry to Life, but this is an intriguing discussion that provides a deeper meaning and context to scientific research and chemistry in particular. In what may be our most thought-provoking episode yet we explore the relationship between chemistry and physics and revisit concepts that have been lost by modern scientists. We discuss what an element really is and the fundamental discoveries and progress that have been made over the years to influence chemical understanding and the periodic table. All this can explain how modern science really works and perhaps how we can teach it better. Our greatest season finale yet!

The History of Chemistry

We learn about the development of spectroscopy by Bunsen and Kirchhoff, and its ramifications, like remote sensing of materials--including heavenly bodies. We also learn about new elements discovered by spectroscopy, which boosted Mendeleev's periodic table and earned him accolades. Mendeleev, however, also predicted elements that don't exist, and failed to anticipate an entire classification of elements found in the 1890s by William Ramsey. Writer H.G. Wells even included one of these elements in a world-famous sci-fi novel.Support the show

We learn about Döbereiner's triads, Pettenkofer and Dumas's correlations of multiples of atomic weights, Newlands's Law of Octaves, and Chancourtois's Telluric Screw. Kekulé's Karlsruhe conference brought order to some chemical chaos, and was the launching point for Dmitri Mendeleev and his periodic table, while Lothar Meyer almost beat Mendeleev for bragging rights.

Ep. 63: 'Z', the world after the Ukraine crisis, and India's role in it

This column was published by firstpost.com at World War ‘Z’: The world after Ukrainian crisis, and India’s role in it-World News , Firstpost The most ironic thing, in fact the blackest of noir humor, is the use of the letter ‘Z’ in the propaganda surrounding the Ukraine war. It is alleged that this letter is the symbol of Russian obduracy, and therefore worth condemnation, as in the German embassy’s tweet and the Economist’s cover story below.The irony is because there is an earlier instance when the letter ‘Z’ was banned, in Greece, in the aftermath of a coup there. Thus the title of the political thriller, ‘Z’, (1969, Costa-Gavras), one of the most powerful films of all time, a thinly-veiled retelling of the conspiracy behind the assassination of a leading political candidate in 1963. A magistrate unraveled the mystery and sentenced the culprits to lengthy prison terms for the murder. The military coup followed, along with the banning of “Euripides, Aeschylus, Aristophanes, Tolstoy, long hair, mini-skirts, the Beatles, Albee, Pinter, Ionesco, Sartre, Mark Twain (partly), Freedom of the Press, Beckett, Sociology, Dostoyevsky, Chekhov, learning Russian, learning Bulgarian, modern mathematics, popular music...”, and the letter ‘Z’, because it stands for ‘He lives’ in ancient Greek. These and more are listed in the closing credits of the film.In an extraordinary example of life imitating art which was imitating life to begin with, the letter ‘Z’ is now associated with Russia, and banned, along with, unbelievably, Dostoyevsky, Chekhov, Pushkin, Mendeleev, Tolstoy, Tchaikovsky, Russian diamonds, vodka, oil, gas and so on. This is, literally, incredible.History repeats itself, first as farce, second as tragedy.Thanks for reading Shadow Warrior! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.In addition, after POTUS Biden’s assertion about defenestrating Russian President Vladimir Putin (although the spin doctors quickly diverted attention), there is little doubt that the Ukraine war has a not-so-hidden agenda: regime change in Russia. In fact, that makes a warped sort of sense, and I compliment my friend Uday B for telling me this right from the beginning of the war, when I (wrongly) thought a negotiated, face-saving settlement could come within a week. The Deep State has specialized in this for long, and usually with disastrous results for the residents of the country thus ‘blessed’ with regime change. I can, off the top of my head, think of Allende in Chile, Mossadegh in Iran, Hussein in Iraq, and Gaddafi in Libya. Then there’s the ongoing effort against Assad in Syria. The only thing in common is misery, penury, war, war crimes, extreme human rights violations, and masses of refugees. Add Ukraine to the list. That is why I am alarmed at the sudden attention paid to India by all those ‘experts’ who are shocked, SHOCKED, that India is not unquestioningly getting with the program and toeing the line. The last time a whole queue of snake-oil salesmen descended on India was when the ‘nuclear deal’ was talked up as the best thing since sliced bread. But despite the promises of manna from heaven, the only visible outcome is India buying more US arms.These good folks are now beginning to show up in India in droves, but the online eagerness has been evident for a while. India is really not all that important to the West, and so the attention is a red flag, and there are only two possible reasons for this Tender Loving Care: a) that they expect to bully India into continuing to be a slave nation, b) that they do not want another powerful manufacturing nation to come up: one China is more than enough. Thus, the moral indignation about ‘one nation invading another’ in violation of the ‘international rules-based order’, let us remember, did not extend to Pakistan invading Jammu & Kashmir in 1947. Nor did it extend to China invading Ladakh in 2020. NATO, and the Deep State, kept very quiet. On what basis, then, do they expect India to care about something happening in Europe? Ah, European wars are ‘world wars’, of course. Atlanticism rules. Thank you for reading Shadow Warrior. This post is public so feel free to share it.And exactly what has the Biden administration done for India? Not much, but here’s the list of weapons they abandoned in Afghanistan; surely they will be used against India by Pakistan:Staggering, isn’t it?Going back to Ukraine, the US once, long ago, did what appears to be exactly the same thing Russia did: based on dubious excuses, it invaded Mexico and took away half that country’s land in 1846 in the US-Mexican war. China, similarly, expanded from their Han heartland, and invaded Tibet, Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia. These became fait accompli. In fact, China probably views its 1962 attack on India as similar to the US-Mexican War: grab land and “teach a lesson”.There is also the worrying historical precedent of dissolution of the Soviet Union. The Biden administration appears keen (and earlier, the Obama folks did, too; ask Ms Nuland) to apply the same formula to India, and to balkanize the country. In other words, break it up into tiny little statelets. Official policy by the Democrats, we’ve been told repeatedly, is ‘sub-national diplomacy’, that is, encouraging fault lines. Interestingly enough, this is precisely what Jinnah wanted as well, according to the book Jinnah: His successes, failures and role in history by Professor Ishtiaq Ahmed: dismemberment of India, not just the ‘moth-eaten’ Pakistan he got. So now we have a theoretical understanding as to why the Deep State has consistently attempted exactly the same thing.For example, there is the laughable fake news about something that only affected a very small number of people, mostly in Kerala. Others claimed 250 million people took part in the strike, just as 250 million farmers rioted against the farm laws. Yes, exactly like Russia has lost 250 million soldiers in the war already, not to mention 7 generals! It is as though there is some vendetta by Democrats and the Deep State against India. They have been flying into paroxysms of rage against India lately (yes, even more than the usual bog-standard badgering and abuse by assorted propaganda outlets such as The Economist, New York Times, Financial Times, Guardian, BBC, NPR and so on).As in the old Panchatantra tale of the old brahmin and the lamb, the rogues are trying to convince Indians that they actually have a dog, not a lamb. They are declaring Modi to be a fascist, and naturally, they’ll explain, a fascist has to be overthrown. Defenestration. Coup. Color Revolution. Endless misery. The end of the Indian Dream of prosperity. Naturally, a Chinese war against India would just accelerate this trajectory. Quad or not, it is increasingly apparent that Biden would not lift a finger to help. Whether Trump would have is a moot question (probably not, but at least he was paying attention to the Indo-Pacific). But, for some strange reason, after the Nixon/Kissinger duo, it appears to be US Democrats who are more malign towards India than Republicans. This is a strategic mistake. A solid Japan-US-India partnership in the Indo-Pacific could contain China (Australia doesn’t add much to this; in fact Vietnam or Indonesia would be more useful in a revamped Quad or Quintet or something). By retreating to the Atlantic, as with AUKUS, the US is proving to India once again that it has to go it alone in the Indo-Pacific. 1190 words, 30 Mar 2022 This is a public episode.

Poetry can give us an epiphany. A different perspective or sudden appreciation of understanding something in a new or clear way.Historical narrative can also give insight, sometimes through recorded observation, sometimes through myth and legend of how unexpected events or experiences brought an epiphany. Archimedes in his bath, Issac Newton heading the apple, Mendeleev's periodic dream, Einstein on the street car in Bern all produced incredible new insights that shape our understanding of the world. I know a number of wise men and women around the world who are seeking and still haven't found what they are looking for. I pray that this will be the time when their thirst is quenched with living water. I hope that in 2022 we will all be marked by this curiosity to know and experience more of the Lord and a fresh commitment and desire to act on what we know.Without curiosity we will not have an epiphany!

In March 1869, Mendeleev delivered a full paper to the Russian Chemical Society spelling out the most significant aspect of his system, that characteristics of the elements recur at a periodic interval as a function of their atomic weight. This was the first iteration of the periodic law. Come along with us as we explore the history of the periodic table of elements. Written by Ann E. Robinson. Narration by Dr. Nicholas B. Breyfogle. A textual version of this is available at https://origins.osu.edu/milestones/mendeleev-periodic-table-UN-chemistry-radioactivity-noble-gases.

Baltagul, Miorița și Ion. Sau poate Mircea cel Bătrân, înălțimea vârfului Moldoveanu și Teorema lui Thales. Cu toții avem o serie de amintiri despre lecturile sau temele obligatorii timp de generații pe care le-am învățat la școală. Am învățat pe de rost rezumate de cărți, dar și tabelul lui Mendeleev. Ce am învățat, însă, despre cum am învățat? Câți dintre noi au fost pedepsiți dacă au răspuns la o întrebare fără să ridice mâna sau i-au suflat colegului în timpul unui test? Câtor elevi le-au fost anulate complet rezultatele dacă ele nu au fost egale cu 10? Câți am fost comparați cu performanțele celorlalți colegi? Toate acestea au contribuit la adulții de astăzi - cei care nu fac nimic bine dacă nu fac totul perfect sau care ar prefera să moară capra vecinului dacă ar avea de ales. Cei care evită să exprime emoții sau nevoi, pentru că anterior, răspunsul la exprimarea acestora a fost pedeapsă sau ignorare. În acest episod vorbim despre cum am ajuns aici și despre ce pierdem când învățăm pe de rost tabelul lui Mendeleev, fără să ne dăm seama ce linii de cod se întipăresc inconștient în memoria Elefantului fiecărora dintre noi și cum ne vor afecta acestea pentru tot restul vieții.

La successiva tappa del nostro viaggio alla scoperta del sintetico è perfettamente introdotta da una memoria di un testimone dell'orrore nazista, Primo Levi, ed è contigua con quanto visto nei capitoli precedenti. tornare alle memorie di Primo Levi ci permette di mettere a fuoco il momento in cui la realtà sintetica da timida imitazione casuale del reale diventa forza plasmante del dominio attuale dell'uomo sul nostro pianeta. L'antropocene è di fatto inaugurato. Con il termine antropocene si indica un'era geologica in cui ciò che produce le mutazioni del nostro pianeta non sono i terremoti, l'impatto degli asteroidi, le glaciazioni o qualche eruzione, bensì l'uomo. Se tra 10.000 anni l'umanità esisterà ancora, i futuri geologi potrebbero vedere negli strati della roccia un cambio di era grazie al ritrovamento di reperti differenti da quelli presenti in tutti gli strati geologici sottostanti. L'uomo dell'antropocene ha prodotto e lasciato nell'ambiente sostanze prima sconosciute che non hanno un'origine naturale: prodotti chimici, materiali plastici e isotopi radioattivi. La realtà sintetica non cambia solo l'uomo e il suo rapporto con la realtà, cambia anche il volto del nostro pianeta e la sua storia. Affronteremo più avanti in maniera più dettagliata la questione; ora dobbiamo tornare con la memoria a quei giorni bui della storia dell'umanità che furono le persecuzioni e gli stermini nazisti della II Guerra Mondiale. Primo Levi è forse conosciuto al grande pubblico per le memorie, raccolte nel testo Se questo è un uomo, della sua prigionia nel campo di concentramento di Auschwitz. La storia che a noi interessa però è contenuta in una serie di racconti dal titolo Il sistema periodico. All'interno di questa raccolta, il penultimo racconto è intitolato Vana­dio, dal nome di un elemento chimico presente nella tavola di Mendeleev. Con numero atomico 23, questo elemento raro, duttile e duro ben simboleggia, agli occhi dell'autore, tre qualità che si ritrovano nella storia. Vanadio è uno scritto che parla ancora del Lager - in particolare, degli episodi avvenuti nel campo di lavoro di Monowitz (uno dei tre campi che formavano il complesso di Auschwitz) dove Levi fu detenuto e dove venne per un certo periodo impiegato come chimico. L'idea dietro la realizzazione del campo era quella di impiegare i deportati schiavi nei lavori di costruzione dell'allora più grande stabilimento chimico d'Europa. Questa fabbrica però, costata migliaia di morti, non entrò mai in produzione. Levi ricorda di uno dei chimici che si trovavano nel laboratorio della Buna. Sin qui la storia che leggiamo in Vanadio. Ma c'è un'altra storia, ancora tutta da scrivere, che s'intreccia con quella del racconto di Il sistema periodico. La Buna è un nome, composto con le sillabe iniziali di butadiene e natrium – sodio nell'etimo latino con cui si chiamano gli elementi della tavola periodica – che la IG Farben aveva inventato, come già fatto per i brevetti sui farmaci. Buna, chimicamente descritta dalla formula C6H5CH=CH2, è quindi il nome commerciale della gomma sintetica che le SS e la IG Farben, in un affare colossale, volevano produrre ad Auschwitz. Come visto nelle pagine precedenti l'intreccio ormai inscindibile tra lo sviluppo industriale del Novecento, le necessità di Stato e la possibilità di fare guadagni enormi possono dare luogo a scenari impensabili. Ma come è possibile che il luogo simbolo dell'orrore nazista, Auschwitz, e gli interessi del Reich fossero tutti legati a un prodotto dall'apparenza così insignificante come la gomma? Per comprendere il ruolo strategico della gomma e il perché dell'impegno che l'industria chimica ha profuso nella realizzazione di una sua variante sintetica dobbiamo velocemente inquadrare e ripercorrere la storia di questo elemento.

Compared to other foundational scientific breakthroughs like Mendeleev's periodic table, Einstein's relativity, and Watson Crick and Franklin's double helix DNA model, the discovery of plate tectonics is the youngest and one of the most influential in the Earth Sciences. Since the 1960's geoscientists have been building upon John Tuzo Wilson's groundbreaking plate tectonic theory including Dr. Oguz Gogus who is a professor of geophysics from Istanbul's Technical University. We discuss the continental drip theory, which explains why the geologically active region of Central Anatolia has been uplifted over a very short period of geologic time.

Mendeleev's story is both unique and inspiring. While he's best known for creating the periodic table, we focus on what makes him human, his struggles for success, and the race to chart our field of chemistry.

Dmitri Mendeleev hadde et problem: Den russiske professoren skulle skrive TO lærebøker i kjemi. I januar 1869 var det første bindet ferdig, men det dekket bare noen få av de grunnstoffene som var kjent på den tiden. Det var helt umulig å presse resten inn i bind 2 ! Mendeleev trengte en måte å organisere grunnstoffene på og – for å gjøre en lang historie kort og antagelig noe unøyaktig – så kan altså et DESPERAT forsøk på å holde en DEADLINE ha.. ført til at det periodiske systemet ble til. I disse dager er det 150 år siden.

Are chemical elements critical for the modern economy in dangerously short supply? It's a question that Justin Rowlatt poses a century and a half after the Russian chemist Dmitry Mendeleev published the original periodic table.Justin speaks to two chemists - Andrea Sella of University College London explains the significance of Mendeleev's scheme to the modern world, while David Cole-Hamilton talks us through an updated version of the table he has just published that highlights chemical elements that could run out within the next century unless we learn to make better use of them.However, perhaps we don't need to worry just yet, at least not for two of those red-flagged elements. Thomas Abraham-Jones describes how he happened across the world's biggest reserve of helium in the African savannah, while Rick Short of Indium Corporation explains why the metallic element his company is named after is in abundant supply, so long as you don't mind sifting an awful lot of dirt for it.Producer: Laurence Knight(Picture: Manuscript of Mendeleev's first periodic system of elements; Credit: Science & Society Picture Library/SSPL/Getty Images)

I genially don’t believe that someone is less creative than the other one. You ask me why? The answer is that everyone is creative and full of ideas, it is just creativity can also be spread among different topics. The reason why you don’t start is because you are creating excuses. You create excuses to brainstorm about the ideas that will help you to get closer to your goal. You create excuses to avoid challenges that you might face. You create excuses because you are afraid to fail. All excuses lead to you no starting and not actioning. When you don’t action, all your beautiful, creative, innovative ideas go into so called “Forgotten Wishes and Ideas” folder. Albert Einstein invented the theory of General Relativity while asleep as well as Mendeleev invented periodic table which turned out to be a phenomenal in mathematics.

The Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev attempted nothing less than to pull apart the fabric of reality and expose the hidden patterns that lie beneath everything in existence, from shoes and ships and sealing wax to cabbages and kings. The result was something known to almost everyone who has ever been to school: the Periodic Table of the elements. But why this particular arrangement? And why is it still the foundation of chemistry? Quentin Cooper is joined by Hugh Aldersey-Williams, who since he was a teenager has collected samples of elements and has drawn on his samples and knowledge to write Periodic Tales: The Curious Lives of the Elements; Michael Gordin, Professor of History at Princeton University and the author of A Well-Ordered Thing: Dmitri Mendeleev and the Shadow of the Periodic Table; Ann Robinson, Historian at the University of Massachusetts studying the development of the periodic table; And Eugene Babaev, Professor of Chemistry at Moscow State University who maintains both Russian and English websites on Mendeleev and his work.

Inauguriamo oggi una nuova rubrica di intermezzo che avete richiesto in molti e lo facciamo introducendo la storia della mitica tavola di Mendeleev e della sua evoluzione nel corso di 150 anni.La tecnica CRISPR. Se ne è parlato molto e oggi Alice approfondisce il tema della tecnica CRISPR (Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats), tra promettenti possibilità per la medicina ad inquietanti scenari in caso di utilizzo poco consono. Sicuramente si creerà dibattito.Grazie a chi anche questa settimana ha sostenuto con tesseramento e Patreon il nostro podcast.

SynTalk thinks about the phenomenology of getting an idea, and wonders about the fine ‘thinness’ of an idea’s form. We discuss lively, apt, inapt, frustrated, injurious, abstract, failed, & wrong ideas, and understand how an idea can sometimes (but only rarely) run away with reality. The concepts are derived off / from Plato, Guru Nanak, Kabir, Leibniz, Hume, William Blake, Peirce, Dalton, Mendeleev, Allama Iqbal, Tartakower, & Kasparov, among others. Are ideas always driven by a sense of necessity, and how necessity fundamentally deals with form (& not content)? Is the world of the sensible (matter) and the sensitive (mind) different from the (autonomous) world of ideas? Is the material world a corruption, then, of the realm of ideas? In what sense is the idea of (say) justice or table-ness enworlded? The modes of recollection, doubt, introspection, induction, deduction, or abduction. Why a solution or an idea sometimes hits one as a bolt out of the blue? Are problems also ideas? Why an epiphany can (& should) never last long? Does every idea start with an anxiety, and what is the (creative &) schizophrenic journey into the field of uncertainty? What is the granularity at which the mind operates? How blunders and combinations are all waiting to happen. Are bad ideas as rare as good ideas? What is the margin of lost memories (between remembrance and forgetfulness)? The interpretive act of rendering a poetry using melody. Can we formalize introspective rationality? Chess chunks and how expert level games are driven by pattern & experience recognition? What is the darkness of the infinite like, where one may be without an idea? The links between rabab, homeless king, Dervish dance, smothered checkmate, stylization, alaap, dreams, indrajaal, & fMRI. How the greatest empowerment (in any field) via any idea is being or momentarily becoming as large as the universe. How the likely long term change in the global political order might change the idea of an idea into one more experiential and less propositional. Does idea need to be liberated from underneath language? Is it fair to anticipate that much of human affairs in the future is going to driven by the new form of the ‘point’?

Transcript: In the early 1800s only 30 elements were known, insufficient to see any pattern in their behavior. Around this time the battery was invented which led to the isolation, by chemical means, of several dozen additional elements. The Swedish chemist Berzelius invented the modern notation of chemistry, H20 and CO2 for example, where a compound is represented by the relative number of atoms of different elements in it. In 1869 the Russian chemist Mendeleev took the existing set of elements and arranged them by weight and chemical properties into the periodic table. The modern form of the periodic table has 90 stable elements and several dozen elements that can be created fleetingly only in the laboratory. These are among the most heavy elements.

Two Journeys Sermons
Christ's Perspective on Greatness (Matthew Sermon 43 of 151) (Audio)

Two Journeys Sermons

Play Episode Listen Later Jan 12, 2003


Introduction: World’s Perspective on Greatness We continue our study in the Gospel of Matthew in a marvelous section of Matthew's gospel, Matthew, 11:1-15. In this section, we see Jesus, praising a human being. That's an incredible thing for Jesus does not give his praise lightly. He is no flatterer. Therefore, it's important for us to understand what it was in particular that he praised in the life of John the Baptist. A short time ago, I had the opportunity to go back to MIT where I went to school, and I was reminded again of all of the evidences of the world's perspective on greatness around all the time. In one particular court called Killian Court, up high, there's inscribed the names, the greatest names of science, human technology names like Archimedes and Newton and Plato, Aristotle, and Mendel and Mendeleev and Faraday and Copernicus. These names are in front of you all the time as you're walking down the halls, and they're an inducement to greatness, so they believe. And I think it's true. I think when we have evidence before us, the lives of great people who have gone before us, it causes us to want to be great ourselves. You see, the Book of Ecclesiastes says that God has set in the hearts of every individual person eternity, but I think he's also said a yearning for greatness there too. The sad thing is that sin twists that yearning for greatness, and makes it self-centered that somebody would worship us, that somebody might focus on us, and so it becomes a form of idolatry. That kind of greatness has no future. That kind of greatness is like a flower of the field, cut and soon to wither. “For all men are like grass and all their glory is like the flower of the field, the grass withers, and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands forever.” I've mentioned before on a windswept kind of deserted plain in modern Iran there's a tomb of Cyrus the Great. The inscription on the tomb can't be read anymore. It's been effaced, it's been erased by the winds, the sands of time. But an ancient historian wrote it down for us and this is what it said: "O man, whoever you are and wherever whenever you may come, I am Cyrus who won for the Persians their empire. Do not begrudge me this little earth that now covers my corpse." Such is the end of all human greatness. But to be great in the eyes of Christ, that's different, that's eternal. I just have one goal this morning, and that is to put inside your hearts a yearning, a hungering and thirsting to be praised by Christ on the final day— that Christ might praise you, that he might find your life worthy. Greatness of the King & the Kingdom The context for this package of Matthew 11:1-15 must always be the advancing kingdom of heaven. That is the message of the book, that is the message of the Gospel of Matthew, the greatness of the kingdom of heaven, and more specifically the greatness of the king of the kingdom of heaven, Jesus Christ. By way of context, we've seen a series of testimonies given to Christ, as the king of the kingdom of heaven. Began in chapter one, with a series of genealogies, forty-two names were given which proved to the Jewish mind that Jesus was great, that he was the son of David, he was the son of Abraham, he was the rightful heir to David's throne, the greatness of Christ. It went beyond that, because in the second half of Matthew 1, it showed that Jesus is not just the Son of Man, but he's also the son of God, born of a virgin, and so rightly, it could be said of him that he's Immanuel, God with us. So he is the son of David, yes, but also the son of God who took on a human body. Then in chapter 2, we have the testimony of the Magi who came from the ends of the Earth to worship him. Precursors to us who are Gentiles, who wanted to find in Christ our king. The Magi came to worship him. We also see the testimony in Matthew chapter 3 of John the Baptist, who testified very plainly that Jesus was the one who was to come the Messiah. John the Baptist gave a clear witness to Jesus and said, "After me, there will come one who's sandals I'm not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire." We also have the testimony of God the Father himself at that moment of baptism, when He spoke from heaven and said, "This is my beloved Son, whom I love, with him I am well pleased". We have also the testimony of the Holy Spirit, who came down like a dove and landed on Christ.The Father and the Spirit are testifying that this was Jesus the son of God. Then there is the testimony of Christ's personal holiness. In Matthew chapter 4, he went on into the desert to be directly tempted by the Devil, and for 40 days he fasted and for 40 days he was tempted by the Devil. He resisted every temptation never once yielded, never once said yes to temptation, but said no — the testimony of his perfect holiness, and righteousness. Then there is the testimony in Matthew chapter 4 of his preaching. He began to preach, "The kingdom of heaven is at hand". He began to point to himself as the king of the kingdom of heaven. He testified to the truthfulness of his words by miracles, signs and wonders, which he was enabled to do. Just a foretaste in chapter 4 but fully unfolded for us in chapters 8 & 9. This is the testimony of the power of Christ over any disease, even over death itself. Then there was the testimony of Christ's perfect words, not just His mighty works but his mighty words: The words of the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 5, 6 and 7, the testimony of the kingdom, of kingdom life, what it's like, and of the king of the kingdom of heaven. Then finally, we've looked at the testimony of the twelve disciples who Jesus called apostles whom he sent out with the message of the kingdom, saying, "Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” These twelve went out and gave a testimony to Christ, that he was in fact the king of the kingdom of heaven. We have an accumulation now of ten chapters of evidence and testimony to Christ. We're going into Matthew 11 and 12, and now we're going to start getting negative reactions to these testimonies coming back. It's going to start in a mild way here with John the Baptist, but it's going to unfold from there, this series of actual negative reactions to Christ. We have doubt in the face of John the Baptist. He says, "Are you the one who was to come or should we expect someone That's doubt. It's a language of doubt. Coming from John the Baptist, it could have been devastating to Christ's ministry. We also have criticism that Jesus alludes to, in verses 16-19, when he talks about the surrounding society, saying, "We played the flute for you, and you didn't dance, we sang a dirge and you didn't mourn.” Criticism from society, and then flat out unbelief. This are Chorazin and Bethsaida who will not believe in Christ, no matter how many miracles he does. All of that is followed by a remarkably gentle invitation to faith. "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” He invites them to come to personal faith. Again in chapter 12 we have a similar thing. In verses 1-14, there is the murderous entrapment from Jesus' enemies. They want to kill him. They're beginning to plot against him, and eventually they're going to succeed in killing Christ. It begins in chapter 12 where we see unbelieving astonishment and blasphemy. Jesus speaks of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. The people are seeing the evidence, but they're rejecting, they're turning away from it. They show curious fascination, where crowds are gathering, but they're not committing to Christ. With all of that, again followed by an invitation saying, "Whoever does the will of my heavenly father is my brother and sister and mother.” So again, in chapters 11 and 12, we see negative reactions to all this evidence followed by an invitation from Christ to personal faith. I want to pause just for a moment and appeal to each one of you. There is evidence all around and in the scriptures of the deity of Christ, and of his role as our personal savior. What is your response? What will you say when Christ commands you, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest". Will you respond with faith? Will you come into the kingdom? That's what's before us in this section. Christ sets the example for souls. He is zealous for your soul, he's zealous for my soul. He came into the world to save souls and so he is pursuing them. He's a good Shepherd going to look for what was lost. Not only does he send the twelve out in chapter 10 but he himself sets the example by going out, we assume alone because he sent these twelve out and now he goes on and continues his own preaching ministry. In verse 1, he says, "After Jesus had finished instructing his 12 disciples, he went on from there to teach and to preach in the towns of Galilee.” Great leaders, a great king, will never ask of his followers what he is unwilling to do himself, so Christ is out courageously confronting society, courageously confronting unbelief. He's preaching, he's proclaiming the very message that he wanted them to proclaim. He went out and set the example. As he went out something happened which could have been very disturbing, very troubling in his ministry. As he's out ministering some messengers from John the Baptist come. They confront him bringing him a message from John the Baptist. John the Baptist is in prison at this point, He’s been arrested because of his faithful, bold proclamation of righteousness. He came against king Herod, who had sinfully and wrongfully unlawfully married his brother's wife, while his brother was still alive. He took her, Herodias, and married her. John the Baptist would not stand for it, and proclaimed righteousness. That took a lot of boldness and his preaching career didn't last long after that. King Herod arrested him and put him in prison. He was languishing in prison because Herod wasn't man enough to see through what he wanted to do. He was very weak and vacillating. He wanted to set John free, he wanted to kill him. He didn't know what to do, but there he was, and he languished in prison. Human Greatness-Still Imperfect: John’s Doubts About Jesus That's the context of what happens in verse 2-6. We've talked about how Jesus gives a testimony to John's greatness, but we actually have right from the beginning evidence of the limitations of human greatness. Even the greatest man that had ever lived up to that point according to Christ was imperfect, the great John the Baptist was imperfect. This is what he says, in verse 2-6, "When John heard in prison, what Christ was doing he sent his disciples to ask him. Are you the one who is to come or should we expect someone else? And Jesus replied, go back and report to John what you see and hear, the blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and Good News is preached to the poor. Blessed is the man who does not fall away on account of me". The psalmist in Psalm 119:96, says, “to all perfection, I see a limit". You take that word perfection out and say, "To all human greatness, I see a limit.” Even in John, there's a limit, and John was reaching his limits. John the Baptist doubted Jesus Christ. Now just let that sink in for a moment. We're looking at a man who lived an uncompromising life, who gave an incredibly clear-headed faith-filled testimony to Jesus and in a moment of weakness, he doubted. This doubt is rather shocking isn't it when you stop and think about it. John had proclaimed earlier in Matthew 3, that Jesus is the one who would come after him, who having been baptized with the Holy Spirit and with fire and his winnowing fork is in his hand, would clear his threshing floor, gathering up the weed into his barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire. In John 1, when the authorities came from Jerusalem, they asked if he was the Christ. John and he said “No, but he's coming after me, whose sandals I'm not worthy to untie.” Then when he saw Jesus, he pointed to him and said, "Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world". What an incredible testimony. Then as was alluded earlier in John chapter 3, John said of Christ, “He must increase, and I must decrease". Here we have an incredible testimony from John. The greatest of his dispensation of the Old Covenant of the Old Testament. The clearest understanding of who Christ was, and yet doubt has creeped in. What are the roots of John's doubt? Where does it come from? Well, first of all, I think the root is limited exposure to Christ and to his ministry. I really don't think he observed Jesus very much at all. I don't think he listened to Christ preaching. I don't think he ever saw him do a miracle. He was finishing his own ministry when Herod arrested him suddenly and threw him in prison. Mark's gospel give us a clearer account of this. In Mark 1:14 it says, "After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee proclaiming the good news of God." There was only a brief overlap. You get the incidents of John 1,2 and 3, some overlap there, but very brief. I don't think that John himself ever experienced Christ's ministry of the kingdom of heaven. I think that was the beginning of the roots of doubt. He actually never saw Christ except at Christ's baptism, as far as the scripture gives record. He didn't have much information. Secondly, they're the physical trials that John was going through. He was in prison, in the first century, in Palestine. Don't imagine some kind of a clean, well-run modern 21st century American prison, with three meals a day, and walking a certain line and all kinds of order and if you get sick, there's an infirmary. It was a filthy thing to be in prison back then, without any provision. They had no concern for whether you were fed. You had to have outside people bring you food, and they did so at risk of being in prison themselves. It was a dangerous and difficult place. John had been there as far as we can tell, for a long time, perhaps more than a year. He's only flesh and blood. It beat down on him day after day, week after week, and every day wondering if that would be his last day, because he knew Herod wanted to kill him. That wears on a person. It was a time of weakness for John. Thirdly, I think perhaps faulty expectations. I don't think he expected what Christ was doing. He didn't expect the kingdom to come the way that Christ was bringing it. Perhaps just like so many Jews, he expected a time of vindication, of vindication for the righteous, that he would perhaps even come and get John out of prison and establish him as a prophet. He did not expect the kind of righteousness that Jesus was bringing. He was very confused about some of Christ's actions. Why was Christ hanging out with tax collectors and sinners, for example? Why wasn't he fasting, the way he had taught his own disciples to fast? You remember the interaction in chapter 9 where John sent his disciples said, "Why is it that we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples don't? It seems like you're just having one celebration after the other.” John was an ascetic. He lived in the desert eating locusts and wild honey. He wasn't used to this kind of a prophet of God who was able to sit down at feast with sinners. He was confused by Christ's actions. These are the roots of John's doubt. What was the significance of John's doubt? For John personally his doubt sapped all his strength. He lay in prison wondering if he'd wasted his life. Think about it. If Jesus was not the one who was to come, then John had wasted his life. He would have missed it, testifying at the wrong time, and in the wrong way. It must have been devastating to John, to lay there in the dark, not knowing whether he had missed it, whether Jesus really was the one who was to come later. How devastating for John to lay there doubting. But, how devastating also for Christ's mission. John was very famous, well-known. He was established by God as a lamp that burned and shone brightly for a while. If in the end he repudiated Christ, how devastating would that be for the advancing kingdom of heaven? This doubt from John must be dealt with, and Jesus does it so powerfully and so gently. We see a lot of the character of Christ here. At the end of this chapter Jesus gives us the only description, the only adjective, he ever gave for himself. As far as I can read, he says, "I am gentle, and humble in heart, and you'll find rest for your souls". He deals with John's doubt very gently in two ways. He gives him evidence, and he gives him exhortation. He gives him evidence first of all by doing miracles for John's messengers. You don't really get it in Matthew's account, but you get it much stronger in Luke. In Luke 7:21 it says, "At that very time,” when John's messengers were there, while they were standing there, "At that very time Jesus cured many who had diseases, sicknesses and evil spirits and gave sight to many who were blind". Oh, the glorious moment. "Now John sent us to ask if you are the one who was to come or should we expect someone else.” Jesus said, "Sit down over there and wait.” Then sick person after sick person, blind and deaf, and demon possessed people, lepers kept coming. One after the other, and Jesus gave such a display of power had never been seen before. A river of miracles done for those messengers, evidence for faith. There they are, just sitting there observing at that very time the miracles that Jesus did as he gave them evidence. Faith doesn't hang out in the middle of nowhere. It's not like those existentialists who say, "The leap of faith,” as though we're going totally contrary to any evidence whatsoever. Jesus gave rivers of evidence. He said, "Sit right here and I will show you, I am the one who was to come. And then go back and report to John what you're seeing here, the blind received sight, the lame walk. Those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and good news is preached to the poor. There is the evidence". Then he gives him an exhortation in verse 6, "Blessed is the man who does not fall away on account of me". That's an exhortation. Perhaps even a warning, although it is a promise of blessing, is it not? It's not a negative message, a very positive message. It's a message of blessing. He says, "I promise you, blessing John, if you will, just stand firm to the end." Have you heard that before? "All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. "Oh, John stand firm, stand firm to the end. Don't yield to the temptation of doubt. Don't yield to what's going on inside you. Stand firm to the end and you'll be saved. Blessed is the man who does not fall away on account of me." He ministers to John. In the next chapter, Matthew 12, we're going to come across a marvelous description of Christ's gentleness. Richard Sibbes preached a sermon on it entitled, “The Bruised Reed and the Smoking Flax.” Basically the picture is that Jesus does not destroy a bruised reed. You can imagine a piece of grass just hanging by a few green threads. He's able to bind it up so it grows healthy and strong again; the gentleness of Christ in dealing with John here. "The smoldering flax he will not snuff out." It's like a candle just out, it's smoking and there's just a little glow of orange, and Jesus is able to blow it back into a flame again, not extinguish it. That is the gentleness of Christ with which he deals with John here. "Blessed is the man who does not fall away on account of me." He gives him the standard word that God gives to any who are suffering persecution. "Stand firm to the end and you will be saved." In Revelation 2 it says, "The Devil's about to put you in prison, and test you for 10 days. He who is faithful to the end will receive a crown of life." He gives them the exhortation. Jesus Praises John’s Greatness As John's disciples are leaving, after Jesus has ministered through them to John, he turns to the crowd and uses John's example to set greatness before us, but also to limit it. He begins to speak to the crowd about John, and he praises John's greatness in verse 7-8 as John's disciples are leaving. He brings out evidence of the greatness of John the Baptist. He speaks about John's personal character and then about his prophetic call. He's going to give an incredible commendation. Of John’s personal character he says in verse 7-8, "What did you go out into the desert to see? A reed swayed by the wind? If not, then what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No. Those who wear fine clothes are in king's palaces." This is the personal character of John, and Jesus is bringing it out for commendation. He wants them to understand what is great about John in his personal character. Realize John had immense popularity. It says, "When John began his ministry and he was preaching and baptizing in the desert, huge crowds from Jerusalem, Judea... " Actually it said all Jerusalem went out to see him. Now, that's a little bit of hyperbole. You have to imagine there must have been some people left in the city. But everybody went to see John in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, the region of the Jordan. Everyone went. Everybody knew about John. You can see again how serious it would be if John were allowed to continue in doubt against Christ. But Jesus challenges, "What motivated you to get up from your home and go see John? He never did a miracle. All he did was preach and live and be out in the desert and baptize. Why did you go and make the journey to see him? What motivated you?" Well, the root of it was John's faith which produced an incredible character. And he looks at that character and what does he see? He sees, first of all, unshakable convictions free from earthly consent. He's not asking permission from his generation for what he believed. He's not looking for validation from his own generation for what he proclaimed. He believed in truth, whether you did or not. He had unshakable convictions free from earthly consent. Jesus said John was not a reed swayed by the wind. He was a mighty oak tree that no wind could sway. Oh, how we need this in this time of relativity, tolerance and pluralism. We need people who are not reeds swayed by the wind. Politicians these days use polls, internet polls and other kinds of polls. They put their finger in the winds of popular opinion. Why? So that they can shape their policies thereby. A sailor going out in a yacht will tie little pieces of thread on the rigging. And why? So he can look at the wind and adjust his course thereby. A golfer like Tiger Wood will take little pieces of grass and throw them in the air because he wants to see what the wind is doing so he can adjust his game to the wind. Pastors will try to find out what their people want to hear and preach accordingly. Why? So they can adjust their message to what the surrounding culture wants to hear. That's a reed swayed by the wind. John was not a reed swayed by the wind. He preached boldly and courageously. We have a sample of his preaching in Matthew 3. When he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them, "You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Produce fruit in keeping with repentance, and do not think you can say to yourselves, 'We are Abraham's descendants.' I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. The axe is already at the root of the tree and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire." That's incredible preaching. Personal convictions. Not looking for worldly consent. He preached what God put on his heart. Haddon Robinson said true preaching is truth poured through character. True words poured through the purity of John’s character. He was not a reed swayed by the wind. Secondly, his pure lifestyle, free from earthly comfort. He said, "If not, then what did you go out to see? Did you go out to see a man dressed in fine clothes? No. Those who wear fine clothes are in king's palaces." This is clearly a swipe at king Herod. Do you know the story of John the Baptist's death? Here is John, and Herod is vacillating back and forth on whether to execute him. A little daughter-in-law, a daughter of Herodias, Salome, begins to dance in a sensuous and alluring way at the king’s birthday party. If ever a man deserved a birthday party, it was king Herod. There he was laying on silken pillows, living in the lap of luxury, drinking wine, having guests, all the beautiful people there at Herod's birthday party and here's this sensuous dance going on. Motivated by pride and by drink and by lust, he agrees to give Herodias, the girl's mother, John the Baptist's head on a platter. John didn't live like that. He wasn't looking for sensuous luxury. He wasn't looking to comfort himself with earthly comforts. He wore camel's hair and he ate locusts and wild honey and lived out in the desert. This was the essence of John. His powerful faith drove out concern for human popularity, so he didn't adjust his message. He's not a reed swayed by the wind. And it drove out a yearning for earthly luxury and comfort. That is the character of John. Thirdly, we see his prophetic calling, in verses 9-10, "Then what did you go out to see?" What motivated you to leave Jerusalem and go see this man? "Was he a prophet? Yes, he was." He was a prophet. The words he spoke were God's words; that's the prophet. He speaks, and it is God's word through him. He was a prophet, but Jesus said he was a more than prophet. "This is the one about whom it is written, I will send my messenger ahead of you who will prepare your way for you." Only a few people in all history, Jesus is one of them, have ever been written about by prophets hundreds of years before they were born. Josiah is another. So also, John the Baptist. He had been predicted centuries before he was born. He was Jesus said, "The Elijah who was to come." Malachi had written about this in chapter 4:5, "See I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes." Here comes John, not merely a prophet, but I believe, the culmination of all of the Old Testament word of prophecy pointing toward Christ. He's the final Old Testament prophet. I know John is written about in the New Testament, but he stood in the line of the Old Testament prophets and pointed ahead to Christ. He finished them. He completed the testimony of the Old Testament prophets when he pointed at Jesus' and said, "Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world." Matthew 11: 13-14, “All the prophets in the law prophesied until John. If you are willing to hear it or to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come. He who has ears to hear, let him hear." John had a unique prophetic calling. It was unlike any that had ever come before. He was to be the summing up of all of the Old Testament in it's pointing ahead to Christ. “Behold, look the Lamb of God, by whose death the sins of the worlds are atoned for. Look at him. Behold the Lamb of God.” As a result of this role, Jesus gives a powerful commendation. Verse 11, "I tell you the truth, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist." If Jesus we're going to speak about you, what would he say? He's not a flatter. He knows everything. There's nothing hidden from him. The Scripture testifies that he will speak about you on Judgment Day for he is the Son of Man and God has committed all judgment to him because he is the Son of Man. What would it be worth to you to have this kind of commendation from Christ? What does he say? Among all the Old Testament people anybody who has been born of woman, any naturally born person, none of them are greater than John. That's incredible. Not Abraham, a friend of God, with whom God had made his covenant. Not earlier Abel, who had offered the sacrifice. Not Noah. Not even holy Daniel who stood up for God in an ungodly pagan empire. Not Job, not David, a man after God's own heart. None of them was greater than John the Baptist. I want you to be hungry and thirsty for the praise of Christ. That on that final day he would say to you, "Well done, good and faithful servant. I'm pleased with your life. You did what I wanted you to do. You didn't care about earthly comforts or commendation. You cared about me. You sought the praise that comes from the only God. Well done." Jesus Limits John’s Greatness Jesus gives John commendation, then, in a very shocking way, he limits John's greatness. I have to tell you, as an exegete I'm not 100% sure what this verse means. “He who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than John." It's a hard verse. There are hard verses in the Bible. We don't know all the answers. I have an idea, and I'll give you my idea, but I'm not 100% sure why, of all those born of women, none had risen greater than John the Baptist and yet, the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than John. Was he testifying that John wasn't in the kingdom of heaven? Was he saying that John wasn't a believer? Hardly so. What then? I think it has to do with John's place in redemptive history and the ability he could have to give testimony to Christ, never having seen any miracles, never having understood the story of Christ, he was limited. He was locked away in prison once the kingdom of heaven began, and from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing and he's only heard hearsay. He's not observed it first hand. He's had to send messengers. "Anybody, any son or daughter of the kingdom who's seen me, who's heard my words, who's seen the miracles I've done, who has entered the kingdom by faith, can give a far greater testimony to me than John." John was the final Old Testament prophet, but the New Testament testimony to Christ is greater. Expect to see John in Heaven. Don't grieve over John as though he didn't enter the kingdom of heaven, he's a believer. But you yourself, the least one of you, can give a greater testimony to Jesus than John could because you know the story. John's disciples in Acts 18 and 19 didn't know much about Jesus, so Priscilla and Aquila had to instruct Apollos. They were limited in their knowledge. We have a more full instruction now, and so we can give a greater testimony to John. Jesus Describes the Kingdom’s Advance Jesus limits John's greatness, and then he describes the advance of the kingdom. Verse 12, "From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing and forceful men lay hold of it." Another difficult verse. I understand the Greek and I understand what it says; I just don't know what it means. This time it's a translation problem. It could go one of two ways and the challenging part is both of them are true. The first concept is that the kingdom of heaven advances forcefully. It moves ahead. It's making progress. In effect he's saying, "Oh, John, don't miss it. Keep on, keep moving on. The kingdom of heaven is advancing and against great opposition." It's advancing against opposition, and nothing can stop it. The kingdom of heaven is advancing forcefully, and, forceful men lay hold of it. This means that if you want to enter it, you've got to be able to turn your back on your father and mother, on loved ones who don't believe in Christ. You've got to be almost violent about it and enter the kingdom of heaven violently. That's one possible interpretation. The other is that vicious persecutors like king Herod grab hold of the kingdom and shake it, trying to stop it. We must stand firm in this time of persecution and not yield. Now, you say, "Pastor, which of the two is right?" My answer is, "I don't know." But since both of those things are true — that the kingdom of heaven advances forcefully and nothing can stop it and it's advancing against great opposition with persecution — we must stand firm. If you want to enter the kingdom of heaven, you must do so by faith, and not let anything hold you back. Don't miss the kingdom; that's what I'll proclaim. Application What application can we take from these verses? First of all, concerning doubt. I want your doubt to be healed. There may be some of you doubting Christ today. It could be that you're doubting because you're not a believer in Christ. That's devastating. Do you understand, if you don't believe in Christ, you're not justified by faith. You're under God's wrath, under his condemnation without salvation. Believe the deity of Christ and his atoning work on the cross, how he shed his blood for sinners just like you and me. Don't leave this place in doubt. But it could be that you're a Christian, and maybe you're going through severe trial. Maybe a loved one has died, going through disease, or infirmity yourself. Maybe you're in your own kind of prison, just like John was in a physical prison. You're getting beaten down and little by little doubt is starting to creep in. Even more viciously, once you start to doubt, Satan will then add to it the testimony that you're not a believer, because anyone who doubts can't be a believer. That is not true. William Perkins, a great Puritan theologian said, "For the most part, only the elect doubt whether they're elect." It's only through intense concern that sometimes we doubt. It's because we care so much that we want to know for sure that we're born again. So what do we do? What if doubt has creeped in to our lives? Do what Jesus did for John's messengers. Immerse yourself in Jesus' ministry again. Remind yourselves what Christ could do, that only Christ could do —the miracles, the preaching, the teaching. See again the evidence that he is the king of the kingdom of heaven, and do it in scripture, because faith comes from hearing the Word of God. Saturate your mind in scripture, and say, "Oh Lord, lead me out. I'm in doubting castle now." Bunyan called it, "Get me out through belief in the promise." Secondly, seek Christ's praise. Don't care anymore to have your name inscribed up on the walls at MIT. Some day those walls are going to come down. Don't seek the world's praise. Seek Christ's praise. “For all men are like grass and all the glory is like the flower of the field, but the Word of our God stands forever.” Even a word of praise given by Christ on Judgment Day will stand forever. Seek Christ's praise. Thirdly, imitate John. Do you realize that your fellow Americans, your fellow students at university, your neighbors, need you to be not a reed swayed by the wind. They need you to stand firm for biblical truth. Stand firm then. Don't be a reed swayed by the wind. Don't seek to change your message and what you believe to please your neighbors and friends. Don't seek earthly physical comforts. What a challenging word to the American church. Imitate John. And then finally, advance the kingdom. The kingdom's going to advance. This is the winning kingdom. Christ is the winning king. Anything you do by faith to advance the kingdom will stand for eternity.
