Jesus is our Shepherd: Hymn 697

Posted on by
Reply

1: Jesus is our Shepherd,

Wiping ev’ry tear;

Folded in His bosom,

What have we to fear?

Only let us follow

Whither He doth lead,

To the thirsty desert

Or the dewy mead.

2: Jesus is our Shepherd;

Well we know His voice;

How its gentle whisper

Makes ‘Our heart rejoice

Even when He chideth,

Tender is His tone;

None but He shall guide us;

We are His alone.

3: Jesus is our Shepherd:

For the sheep He bled;

Every lamb is sprinkled

With the blood He shed:

Then on each He setteth

His own secret sign;

“They that have My Spirit,

These,” saith He, “are mine.”

4: Jesus is our Shepherd;

Guarded by His arm,

Though the wolves may raven,

None can do us harm:

When we tread death’s valley,

Dark with fearful gloom,

We will fear no evil,

Victors o’er the tomb.

Thank You Jesus,

1: Do no sinful action,

Speak no angry word.

Ye belong to Jesus,

Children of the Lord.

2: Christ is kind and gentle

Christ is pure and true;

And His little children

Must be holy too.

3: There’s a wicked spirit

Watching round you still,

And he tries to tempt you,

To all harm and ill.

4: But ye must not hear him,

Though ’tis hard for you

To resist the, devil,

And the good to do.

5: For ye promised truly

In your Infant days

To renounce him wholly

And forsake his ways.

6: Ye are Christians soldiers,

Ye must learn to fight

With the bad within you

And to do the right.

7: Christ is your own Master,

He is good and true,

And His little children

Must be holy too.

Thank You Jesus,

Disobedience Leads To Sin and Death

Posted on by

TEXT: Romans 5:19 and 1 Corinthians 15:22

INTRODUCTION

Last week, we continued with the series on OBEDIENCE by studying: Obedience Is Better Than Sacrifice. Today, we shall focus on the fact that disobedience leads to sin and death. Obedience has been severally defined since we commenced the series as compliance with an order, request, or law especially in deference to a higher authority. We learnt about the rewards that follow complete obedience; while being reminded that partial obedience is no obedience.

May we receive that grace to be fully obedient in all things in Jesus’ name, Amen!

OUTLINE 1: DISOBEDIENCE LEADS TO SIN

Disobedience in this instance means partial obedience or complete turn away from God’s ways/directives. Some instances:

  • Impatience leads to disobedience.

King Saul in 1 Sam 13:10-12 offered burnt offering that was to be performed by Samuel. One of the virtues of the fruit of the spirit is longsuffering [patience]. Gal 5:22.

  • Disobedience can lead to loss of authority/position.

King Saul feared the people, was stubborn and disobeyed Gods’ directives. 1 Samuel 15:22-24 & 26. No amount of our sacrifice can atone for disobedience; as Jesus Christ had made the ultimate sacrifice for us, Hebrews 10:10. Obedience is better than sacrifice.

  • Disobedience triggers the wrath of God.

In Joshua 6:17-19; God gave instruction that in Jericho; only Rehab the harlot and her family should be spared. But in Joshua 7:1, Achan took the accursed thing. This led to defeat of Israel by Ai. Thirty-six [36] men were killed because of God’s wrath. Also, in our text: Romans 5:19, the disobedience of Adam & Eve triggered the entrance of sin.

  • You reap what you sowed.

Gal 6:7-8 is apt. Partaking in the holy communion unworthily is an act of disobedience. 1 Corinthians 11:27-30. Verse 30 harps on spiritual death.  

OUTLINE 2: DISOBEDIENCE LEADS TO DEATH

Death in this instance refers to spiritual and, in some cases, physical. Spiritual death is being alienated from the life of God [Romans 6:23]. Consider the following:

  • The case of Adam and Eve

Gen 2:16-17. God’s instructions to Adam were clear and straightforward. Both disobeyed and realized they were naked; a sign of spiritual deadness, Gen 3:6-7. As in Adam all die …. 1 Corinthians 15:22.

  • Is your spiritual garment in place?

Rev 16:15 enjoins us to watch [be vigilant/avoid disobedience]  and keep our garment, otherwise we walk naked and subjected to shame. A word of advice in Luke 21:36.

  • There is an escape route from spiritual death.

John 3:16 is an escape route from spiritual death. If we obey, there is the assurance of everlasting life. John 8:51 is a reassurance that if we obey, we can never see spiritual death.

OUTLINE 3: DISOBEDIENCE THAT LED TO SIN, SPIRITUAL AND PHYSICAL DEATH

  • 1 Kings 13:1-26. A classical case of what we learnt today. Disobedience leads to sin,

spiritual death, and even physical death.  

CONCLUSION

The consequences of disobedience are too grievous to be ignored. Let us watch and pray that we will not be led into temptation [Matthew 6:13]. May the Lord release unto us the grace to flee from all appearance of evil [1 Thess 5:22].

Thank You Jesus,

Hymn 699: There’s a friend for little children

1: There’s a friend for little children

Above the bright blue sky;

A Friend who never changeth

Whose love can never die

Unlike our friends by nature,

Who change with changing years,

This Friend is always worthy

The precious name He bears.

2: There’s a rest for little children

Above the bright blue sky

For those who love the Saviour,

And Abba Father cry

A rest from every trouble

From sin and danger free,

Where every little pilgrim

Shall rest eternally.

3: There’s a home for little children

Above the bright blue sky

Where Jesus reigns in glory;

A home of peace and joy

No home on earth is like it

Nor can with it compare

For everyone is happy

Nor can be happier there.

4: There’s a crown for little children

Above the bright blue sky,

And all who look to Jesus.

Shall wear it by and by,

A crown of brighter glory

Which He will then bestow

On those who found His favour,

And loved Him here below,

5: There’s a song for little children

Above the bright blue sky

A song that will not weary

Though sung continually;

A song which even angels

Can never, never sing,

They know not Christ as Saviour

But worship Him as King.

6: There’s a robe for little children

Above the bright blue sky,

A harp of sweetest music

A palm of victory All,

All above is treasured

And found in Christ alone

Oh, come, dear little children

That all may be your own.

Thank You Jesus,

1: Around the throne of God in heaven,

Thousands of children stand;

Children whose sins are all forgiven,

A holy, happy band.

Singing: Glory; glory, glory,

Singing: Glory, glory, glory.

2: In flowing robes of spotless white

See every one array’d,

Dwelling in everlasting light

And joys that never fade.

3: What brought them to that world above?

That heaven so bright and fair,

Where all is peace, and joy, and love;

How came those children there?

4: Because the Saviour shed His blood

To wash away their sin;

Bathed in that pure and precious flood,

Behold them white and clean.

5: On earth they sought the Saviour’s grace.

On earth they loved His name

So now they see His blessed face,

And stand before the Lamb.

6: And is that fountain flowing yet?

Bless’d Saviour, lead us there;

That we those happy ones may meet,

And in their praises .share.
