Intro:
Talk about trip
Talk about Easter …
Series - We are learning the true character of Jesus… We want you to know who he really is.
Theme Verse ...
Last week, we learned that Jesus is qualified to be and is our best friend.
He knows everything that we are going through so he can help us through whatever that is.
Today, I am speaking about Jesus our teacher.
He is absolutely the greatest teacher ever.
48 times he is referred to as “teacher.”
He spoke and people were amazed.
People would sit for hours to hear him teach.
What makes someone a great teacher?
Relevant, authentic, real, funny....
When I think about Jesus, I think about someone who taught the truth and was authentic.
Jesus taught by example.
During the last supper, Jesus washed the disciples feet.
He said I will show you humility.
He washed Judas knowing he was about to betray him.
Peter knowing he would deny him… Jesus showed us what to do.
He is saying here that he wants us to do what he was doing.
He washed their feet and said this is what you do...
Jesus taught that there will be times that we don’t understand something in life…
Too often when we don’t have a teacher or an example, we do the wrong things.
When we don’t know what to do…
We take things into our own hands…
In the absence of a teacher… an example we will do things our own way… The first thing we try to do is...
We try and fix it ourselves.
You don’t think that you need anyone else to help you.
God teaches us differently.
Jesus gave us an example to follow.
Abraham & Sarah tried to fix it themselves.
…
When we don’t have an example, we make mistakes.
We mess up marriages… careers… lives.
Inmates didn’t have examples… or a dad.
They tried to fix it themselves.
We look to others for solutions.
We often ask the wrong people what we need to do.
Too often we ask people who are struggling with the same stuff we are for advice.
We have to look to the Lord and godly people for solutions.
Guess what Oprah said today… Guess what Dr Phil said today… Guess what Judge Judy said today...
When you have all these people giving you conflicting advice, it’s easy to get to this next place...
We learn to live with it.
We give up and say we will just learn to live with it.
Whatever situation you are in, you feel defeated and you just think I’ll never change… I might as well just give up.
You may be ready to give up.
After we have tried everything, sometimes,
We turn to God.
Once we have explored all of our options, we finally turn to God.
What would it be like if we turned to God first?
Jesus came to teach us how to live.
He taught us in his word.
When we don’t know what to do, we need to look to our Teacher… Jesus.
Watch … learn … do it.
Our job is just to learn and imitate Jesus.
Imitate Jesus.
We need to be like Jesus.
We need to know Jesus the great teacher.
He came to show us...
1.
How to overcome temptation.
Jesus went out in the wilderness and he was led out there to be tempted.
So the devil comes out to him… he was hungry… he was tired…
highlight Jesus answers.
Some of you have been tired and the enemy has come to you and tempted you… to cheat, to lie, to be unfaithful… and you might be ready to give into that temptation.
But look at what Jesus said in verse 10…
Jesus used the WOG to defeat temptation.
You may be facing temptations, but the Jesus taught us that there is power in the WOG
Look at what happened...
Without the WOG is we are helpess.
Jesus was tempted in every way.
There is nothing that you will go through that he doesn’t understand.
Use the WOG to help you out of situation
The solution to overcoming Temptation is the WOG
2. How to face impossible situations.
Story of Lazarus - John 11
When Lazarus died, the sisters ran up to him and said if only you had been here, he would not have died.
Jesus wept… possibly over their lack of faith.
Jesus knee he was going to raise Lazarus from the dead.
The solution to impossible situations is… FAITH
When Jesus saw their faith… he called Lazarus out of the tomb.
Jesus wants to see their faith.
When he sees her faith as she says God will do whatever he asks, he raised Lazarus.
Jesus knew were will face impossible situations and that we had to havre faith in him.
Whats’ your impossible situation?
How is your faith.
We have to place our faith in Jesus.
3. How to submit to God’s plan.
This si hard because we all have this thing called the FLESH or our old nature.
That’s the part of us that wants to sin… to walk the opposite way that God wants you to.
Jesus teaches us to submit to God’s plan by being Obedient.
You may not understand it… be obedient.
Jesus submitted to God’s will.
In the Garden, he asks his father if there was another way, but then he said, not my will but your will be done.
I imagine that Jesus did not want to get whipped to unrecognizable… but each step towards that whipping post and the cross had a name on it.
Each step was out of obedience to his Father’s plan.
You may be battling some issues… dis honesty… get rid of it and submit to God’s plan.
4. How to show unconditional love.
Here is the Key to unconditional love - FORGIVENESS
FOIRGIVNESS is how we show unconditional love.
Story of the sinful woman who wiped Jesus feet with her tears and hair.
