Whose we are.
Pray for those, in our midst, two are going through the valley of the shadow of death.
Pain, so tangible that you can touch it.
Taste it and certainly weep over it.
Pray that you will Incarnation Ali.
Help us as a church to be present towards each other and towards our community who so desperately needs Jesus.
As we all do everyday, in every way in Jesus name, we pray.
Amen.
Well, this is an exciting sermon today.
I don't know if you are one that likes to read the end of a of a book before you begin, like go to the last chapter.
I've never been that kind of a person myself.
Some I have heard are like that.
But if you read ahead a little bit, you know, we're in 1st Corinthians.
Looking at our identity who we are in Christ who we are in Christ.
And you might know that this next section of verses 1st Corinthians 7, 24 through 40 is all about singleness.
Evangelicals favorite topic.
But it's actually quite profound.
Surprising and open the Apostle fall for him to be profound.
But really singleness is in.
All of our past.
Is the present for many of us?
And is the future for most of us?
Or, you know, statistically about 60% something like that.
You know, 80% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
Let me read you something and let's see if this resonates with you was a little bit long, but I think you can hang in there.
Okay, this is about singleness.
He goes to weddings.
Always a guest.
Never is the groom.
He takes gifts to the bride and groom, but has never been gifted with a bride of his own.
Some of his friends have established careers in nice homes.
He on the other hand owns, no home, and it's just beginning.
A new career with me, your finances.
When visiting his married friends, he holds their children and spends time with them.
In fact, they're drawn to him.
So he has no children of his own.
He's a very old man, with natural sexual desires.
A man who experiences true temptation.
He's a man of spiritual commitment that keeps him from sexual involvement outside of marriage, his spiritual depth leads him to fully support his Church's position on sexual abstinence for those unmarried.
He's regarded in by some of his community is different.
A misfit not conforming to society's norms.
He is intelligent verbally, gifted, and more able, more than able to hold his own in community debates.
He's not afraid.
To express his thoughts in his Publix.
His feelings publicly.
He's not ashamed to shed, a tear among friends.
Singleness for many is not just a reality at the painful.
Sometimes lonely reality.
He is content.
He's a competent man, who knows who he is and what he wanted.
He does not, he does experience times of intense loneliness and longing.
Typically he is not thought of in this way, but the single man's name is Jesus.
Jesus.
The Christ, the son of the Living, God, We read and Luke to that Jesus grew in wisdom and stature and in favor with God.
And with men.
What we don't read There is that he got married and had children of his own.
The Old Testament promise to.
The nation of Israel was really a line.
A lineage of family children.
Descendants.
I'm name the promises to Israel.
We really land in the people.
The land is something that we are think as evangelicals, tend to be pretty.
Understanding of supportive and it resonates with us, but our people requires children.
Which in God's economy requires marriage, certainly requires sexual Union.
And so here is Jesus, God, the Son 100% God, incarnate and he has no ability to fulfill one of the greatest promises.
In the Old Testament towards the people of God for, he has no children of his own.
We is evangelicals as Protestant even more, broadly and Christians even more broadly than that tend to support and affirm as the norm and expectation, marriage and family.
Which is not a bad thing.
but in our emphasis,
To support and encourage a traditional biblical definition of marriage.
Sometimes we alienate so I'm sure it's unintentional.
Those Among Us who Paul would call.
Better happier.
Invite you to stand with me for the reading of God's word as we read 1st Corinthians, 7:25 and following.
Now, concerning the betrothed, I have no command from the Lord, but I give my judgment is one who by the Lord's.
Mercy is trustworthy.
I think that in view of the present distress.
It is good for a person to remain as he is.
Are you bound to a wife?
Do not seek to be free?
Are you free from a wife?
Do not seek a wife?
But if you do marry you have not sinned.
And if betrothed woman's Mary, she is not send.
Get those who marry will have worldly troubles.
I would spare you that.
This is what I mean Brothers.
The appointed time is growing very short from now on let those who have wives live as though they had none.
And those who mourn as though they were not morning.
And those who rejoice as though they were not rejoicing and those who buy as though they had no goods and those who deal with the world as though they had no dealings with it.
For the present form of this world is passing away.
I want you to be free from anxieties.
The unmarried man is anxious about the Lord, the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord.
But the married man is anxious about worldly, things.
How to please his wife and his interests are divided.
Any unmarried are betrothed, woman is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to be wholly in body and spirit with a married woman is anxious about worldly things.
How to please her husband.
I did this for your own benefits not to lay any restraint upon you.
A bunch of remark promote good order and to secure your undivided Devotion to the Lord.
