JESUS WAS SEEN BY WITNESSES: The Specimens of the Brand New Race, the Church
1 Corinthians 15:5-8
2 Timothy 2:19 “Nevertheless, the foundation of
God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his.
And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Matthew
13:24-30 “Another
parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a
man which sowed good seed in his field: 25 But while
men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his
way. 26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought
forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27 So the
servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow
good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 28 He
said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou
then that we go and gather them up? 29 But he said, Nay;
lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 Let
both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say
to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to
burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.”
Are you a tare growing
among the wheat? Does God know you? Is He your Witness?
Ananias and Saphira -
tares among the wheat of the 1st Church. (Acts 5)
Some men who crept in
unawares to deceive. (Jude 1:4)
Christians by mouth or
activity, not disciples. (Romans 2:29; 1 & 2 Corinthians)
- Lord,
please make me Your witness. Also, please be my Witness that
I am a member of Your new specie. Let me not just be a member of a
physical Church like the sinners in the Corinthian Church. Make me a
member of Your body, Your invisible Church. Confirm my life exchange and
let my calling and election be made sure. (Acts 9:3-5)
- Deliver
me from the spirit of the ‘tare’ growing comfortably among the ‘wheat’.
Don't let me be disappointed on the final day when You will separate
between the ‘tares’ and Your ‘wheat’. Help me quickly, while there is
time.
- Make
me a confirmed member of Your Church - born again by life exchange, and
growing in discipleship. Count me among Your Church.
“I AM JESUS”
(Acts 9. Tune: Lead
Us Heavenly Father)
1. Stephen one of seven
deacons,
Served his Master to the
end.
Spoke the Word with
grace and boldness,
Brought out to be stoned
to death.
Looking up saw heaven
open,
To receive him Jesus
stood.
2. Saul of Tarsus
breathing threatening,
With permission,
murderous zeal.
On his way to get the
Christians,
Bound, imprisoned, tortured,
killed.
Full of power what could
go wrong?
“Oh Damascus here I
come!”
3. Blinding light came
down from heaven,
Frightened Saul from
chariot fell.
“Saul Saul” came the
voice from heaven,
“Why persecutest thou
Me?
I AM JESUS, Christ, Messiah,
Hard to kick against the
pricks.”
4. Ananias Christ’s
disciple,
In a vision heard his
Lord.
“Rise up, go to Saul of
Tarsus,
Lay your hand upon his
head.
He’s My chosen vessel,
praying,
Will be told what he
MUST do.”
5. Help us Master Jesus
help us,
Make us Thy disciples
too.
Call us, trim us, shake
us, make us,
Tell us too what we MUST
do.
And of us like them
before us,
“I AM JESUS” Thou wouldst say.
