A close look reveals the lessons that the early church had to learn to represent their newness in Christ. Each lesson dealt with some aspect of this new life as a witness. Every lesson also applies to churches today for our task hasn't changed. The lessons move us from one level of understanding to a higher ofle, Moving from the simple (ijsson 1) to the complex (les sen 5) implies growth. Not qflly will the applications apply to the interaction 3 >?'- ? I I between believers in the body but also between the body and the non-believers. Charity (love) begins at home. How can we be the light upon a hill to influence and guide others if that light isn't shone at home first? Simply put, the life of the church should rep resent God's abounding love, His amazing grace and His omnipotence. The church then has to be open to all and it must behave as responsible citizens and stewards of God's creation. The church also has the unique moral obligation to care for all people, point out wrong doing and yet always be ready for reconciliation. The final lesson emphasizes the highest standard for the body having hope and confidence in God. Lesson: Paul writes this let ter to Titus in Crete. The early church there had some unruly ' members and Paul gives instruction to them. This let ter is a blend of doctrine and changes in lifestyle. Good works (selflessness) are an indication that one's life has been changed. Paul reiterates that salvation has come to them and therefore a%" meta morphosis has begun. The person is changing. They begin to control their worldly desires and live by higher start-^ dards. Thi^ new lifestyle is accomplished through Christ only. Christ then is the hope that energizes the believers to .live better lives while waiting for His return. The believer's hope is based on this awesome respect (fear) for God. Throughout the Old Testa ment, God spoke to messen gers to warn the people of dis obedience and impending judgment. At times when He spoke, the mountains shook. This portion of 'Hebrews reminded them (Jewish believ ers) of that. When God's voice shakes not only the earth but heaven also, only the true believers will be left standing, Trent C. Butler puts it this way, "He is like a gold miner panning for gold, putting the rocks in a shaker and,letting everything fall ouf but the gold." Jesus' return will be for things of value not those earthly treasures that will pass away. The final reason for hope is based on the fact that Jesus is in control of all des y ? ? "?*.?. i. -, tinies, While on the isle of Pat mos, Jesus came to John. He fainted and was revived. John was told to "fear not" and was given the ultimate message of hope. Nd matter the earthly situation, Jesus is in control. John was told to write-the past (chapter 1-), the present (chapters 2-4) and the future (chapters 5-22). Jesus has the keys to hell death-no power shall prevail. Jesus revealed to John that and the-seven churches (lamp stands) will endure great trou ble but, they are to endure great evil for the victory over evil is the Lord's. It will come no matter what. God has given salvation to all, we must accept it. Application: In the back ground, I referred to a higher level of living. This higher level denotes those intangibles that we live by. To make it live, let's consider a young child " ? J ? receiving instructions from parents. As the child matures, they recite or do what was taught without thinking about it. Some\vhere in life, it must become personal and there fore takes on a deeper mean ing. If memorizing is all that we've done in crisis times we falter, get lost, or sometimes simply walk away. If we went beyond the words, there is confidence, bope for the future, and a peace that passes all understanding. Sickness, ' disappointments, financial troubles and a wholeTot more will come. Don't be despon dent, don't panic - we are not alone. God has promised not to forsake us: God's grace will get us through.
