Rise and go. 4/22/15


Day 112 - Reading the New Testament in one year.

Luke 17:1-19

Sin, Faith, Duty
17 Jesus said to his disciples: “Things that cause people to stumble are bound to come, but woe to anyone through whom they come. 2 It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble. 3 So watch yourselves.

“If your brother or sister[a] sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them. 4 Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying ‘I repent,’ you must forgive them.”

5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”

6 He replied, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.

7 “Suppose one of you has a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Will he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, ‘Come along now and sit down to eat’? 8 Won’t he rather say, ‘Prepare my supper, get yourself ready and wait on me while I eat and drink; after that you may eat and drink’? 9 Will he thank the servant because he did what he was told to do? 10 So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”

Jesus Heals Ten Men With Leprosy
11 Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. 12 As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy[b] met him. They stood at a distance 13 and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!”

14 When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed.

15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. 16 He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.

17 Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? 18 Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” 19 Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”

April 21st That inner ruling

“And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.” COLOSSIANS 1:18 This verse reveals Christ’s headship and administration. He is the Head of His Body, the church, showing that the church is a part of His administration. He is the Head of something. If you are a head, you have to have something to be head over. Christ is the Head of His Body, the church. His position as the Head over the church gives Him the position to head up the whole universe and to consummate this age and bring in the kingdom. This is why the church is so critical to God — because it is the unit of His administration. In His work, Christ is the Head over His Body, the church. As members of His Body, the church, we are just an extension of His administration. This is not merely theology to us. It means that we do not have choices in our daily life. We are a ruled person. Are you ruled in your inner being by Christ? Am I ruled? Perhaps we have felt free to talk, free to do many things. But one day, as we are participating in Christ, we realize, “Lord, I have no life apart from You. My life is to be ruled by You inwardly.” In that inner ruling is the ruling of the universe. Christ heads up the universe not in an organizational way, but in a hidden, silent way. As He is gaining us, He gets the ground on this earth and in this universe to come back and to exercise His government and His headship as the Lamb to consummate the age. How awesome is our life, participating in the Person and work of Christ in His administration.
