· (177a) Works of the devil Ø The religion of witchcraft Ø False doctrine Ø Distorting Scripture Ø Distorting Scripture from a lack of understanding – Jesus often testified of His words and His works as not coming from Himself, but originated from His Father who abided in Him. This was His explanation to the Pharisees and to the scribes and even to His disciples who were trying to understand Him. Much of the problem the disciples had with comprehending Jesus was the fact that they were expecting Israel’s messiah to come in great power and glory and deliver them from their enemies. Israel’s religious leaders had been teaching this for centuries, but they made a mistake interpreting the Scriptures. They had rightly understood their Old Testament writings that alluded to the age of millennium, but wrongly attributed these prophecies to the time of Christ, and consequently overlooked the subtle passages of Scripture that spoke of their messiah that would first come to them in a quiet and humble fashion to teach them the righteous ways of God, who would ultimately die for the sins of the world. They overlooked these things because they saw no value in them as they ironically demonstrated by crucifying Him. They kept waiting for Jesus to conform to their expectations, which caused them to misinterpret and misunderstand everything He said and did. As Jesus approached Jerusalem toward the end of His life, everyone expected Him to attack the Roman tyranny that held Israel in bondage, and for the kingdom of God to suddenly appear, and for Jesus to go through some kind of metamorphosis like the transfiguration that His closest disciples secretly witnessed on top of the mountain. Jesus strictly told his disciple not to tell a soul about what they had seen on top of that mountain, because He didn’t want the people to expect Him to save them from their enemies; He came to save them from their sins.

· (215i) Sovereignty Ø God controls time Ø Suddenly Ø The kingdom of heaven appears suddenly Ø Without warning

· (5m) Responsibility Ø Jesus’ yoke of obedience Ø Our obligation to shepherd the flock

· (11a)* Servant -- Principle verse of this chapter. Essentially the study a "Servant" is the study of greatness in a person’s character. The calling of a servant is universal to all human life. It is one of the traits that separate us from the animals; animals are rarely seen in nature serving other animals, except in the case of interdependency, where their motives remain on meeting their own needs through meeting the needs of another species. Everyone is called to be a servant; even God is a servant. If you desire to serve God, you are big in His eyes, and He sees you entreating Him to appoint His power and authority in your life.

Lk 19,19-22

· (2d) Responsible to avoid offending God Ø Keeping your commitments Ø Complete God’s calling in your ministry as Christ did – I’m afraid God takes this life and our own lives more seriously than we do. We are loosing so many rewards by not being diligent about serving God with all our hearts. Nevertheless, I understand partly why we as a church and as a people are so disconnected from everything in this society in which we live, and I think God also understands. We are trapped in a world that hinders us from serving God in an effective way, and the church also collectively feels everything that the members do. I believe that the church today is that wicked, lazy slave, but I also believe that if we were to become united, this would change. I think there is a ball of fire brewing in the bellies of the people who are floundering in their attempts to serve God, and that after God sets up the circumstances to benefit the church instead of the world, we will become the dominant force on this planet for God’s sake and for goodness sake, and evil will at last be thwarted.
