Sermon Tone Analysis

Identity

We learned in V 49 that Jesus at the age of 12 knew His Identity

Knew He was the Son of God

and His mission was to be doing His Fathers Business

He was in the temple when Mary and Joseph found Him

Jesus did not understand why they were looking all over for Him

when the only place he should be is in the temple

They did not understand why Jesus was not like the rest of the 12 year old’s

V 50

V 51 this we will concentrate on today

Jesus was submissive

knowing He was The Son of God

the knowledge to be on His own

Jesus was submissive the perfect child

Knowing that Mary and Joseph were his human parents

Jesus was all human, het all God at the same time

Jesus did what a normal human is supposed to do

and Jesus fulfilled the law perfectly

Jesus became the man of the family

He was known as the town carpenter

Jesus was a submissive son for another 18 years

to His earthly parents and his Heavenly Father

The Submissiveness of God

Jesus one of the Trinity

Father Son and Holy Spirit

one being but three persons don’t try to understand it just believe it

God is God His ways His thoughts are far above ours

don’t try to understand the God head in anything earthly

like water, egg just take it at what the Bible says about God

The Father is God Almighty

The Son is equal to the Father

the son and Father are one

God speaking to God

The Holy Spirit is also one with the Father and Son

all 3 are equal because all 3 are one

but all 3 have different roles

lets take the salvation of the bride

The Fathers role

to chose the bride

The Sons role

to redeem the bride

The Holy Spirits role

to Sanctify the bride

to set her apart

the trinity has different roles

1 Peter 1:1–2 (LSB)

Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who reside as exiles, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, who are chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to the obedience of Jesus Christ and the sprinkling of His blood: May grace and peace be multiplied to you.

all of the roles are under the Father

the Son is in subjection to the father

not out of duty but out of love

turn to Isaiah 53.

the only way for His Son to have a bride is for the Father to crush the Son

God out of Love for his Son crushed Him once so that He could have a bride to love for an eternity

the Holy spirit is in subjection to the Father and Son

Our Submissiveness

we are told to be submissive to our parents

to our husbands

to our masters

to our leaders in government

to the church to one another

to the leadership

to God resist the devil

submissiveness is not a controlling thing

submissiveness is out of love

submissiveness is a response to love

the love of God to us

God gave us the example

submissiveness is a choice, a conscious decision

we just don’t automatically submit

it goes against human nature

in fact we don’t want to submit

its unnatural in our fallen nature

we have a bent toward sin

the 3 most important persons in our life is me myself and I

to submit is to put someone else first

God isn’t trying to control you, which he can do

you submit because I told you to

but you and the person you submit to will be blessed

because there is no strife

no hostility

your love will increase

your relationship will grow

so God has given us the example

God has commanded us to do

we know we will have better lives if we do

but either me myself or I is opposed to submission

what do you do?

Grace!!

we need grace

we need to ask for forgiveness

ask God for the grace to repent

Humbly come before the Lord and ask for the grace to be submissive in the area that you are lacking in

pour out your heart to God

tell Him why you are not submissive
