This mystery is great! Just do, never think!
Preface: Apostle Paul said: This mystery is great! Eph.5:32
It is about a man married a woman! Eph.5:25-31
But I am talking about Christ and the church! Eph.5:32
Simply follow the instructions, never ask question!
Once question is asked, grievous troubles spring up everywhere!
A. A man married a woman! Eph.5:25-31
1. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church.
And gave himself up for her, to make her holy and blameless. … Eph.5:25-27
2. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies.
He who loves his wife loves himself. Eph.5:28
3. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it,
just as Christ does the church – Eph.5:29
For we are members of his body. Eph.5:30
4. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,
and the two will become one flesh. Eph.5:31
5. This mystery is great -- but I am talking about Christ and the church. Eph.5:32
Yes, simply à Christ is husband. Church is his wife, church of Christ!
6. In marriage, everything comes natural!
The two become one flesh. She is to be Mrs. the name of her husband!
7. This mystery is great! Do not ask how, why or what….
8. Once question is asked grievous troubles spring up everywhere!
B. In Chinese tradition marriage ceremony!
1. Bow to sky and land. 2. Bow to high hall. 3. Husband and wife bow to each other.
4. Ceremony complete send into chamber in cave.
5. From then on this man and this woman become Mr. and Mrs. the man’s name.
6. Never ask how, why or what… Simply be happy together thereafter!
7. Once question is asked grievous troubles spring up everywhere!
C. People in Corinth started to think!
1. Grievous troubles spring up everywhere!
Paul had to write: I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1Cor.1:10
2. All of you agree with one another so that there may be no denomination among you. 1Cor.1:10
3. That you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. 1 Cor.1:10
4. Simply join together as the one body of Christ! Ro.12:4-5
5. Simply the Lord added the saved into the church of Christ! Acts 2:47
D. Since people started to think these happened!
1. Church of Saint Paul, church of Saint Peter, many different kinds of churches!
2. They become different religions compete for members they war against each other!
3. As we can all see grievous troubles spring up everywhere!
E. God’s words in the Bible become a laughing stock!
1. Denomination is warped, sinful and self-condemned!
Warn them once and warn them the 2nd time. After that have nothing to do with them!
What do people do? They go join them!
2. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your house
or welcome him. Anyone who welcomes him shares in his wicked work. 2Jn.1:10-11
What do people do? They join and support their evil wicked work!
3. Dear friends, I felt I had to write and urge you to contend earnestly for the faith
that was once for all delivered to the saints. Jude 1:3
What do people do? They contend against what says in the Bible earnestly!
4. Now that I have preached these! Who care?
You tube one sermon line up with Joel’s I have 32 viewers he has over 500,000!
May God have mercy on us all! Preach November 18, 2018.
