John G Lake Sermon: 'As He Is So Are We'

John G. Lake:

"The great majority of the Christian world is still weeping at the foot of the cross. The consciousness of man is fixed on the Christ who died, not on the Christ who lives. They are looking back to the Redeemer who was, not the Redeemer who is.

On this side of the cross we see all the marvel of opposites to what we see in the Christ on the other side of the cross. On the other side of the cross we see a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief, bearing our sicknesses, carrying our sorrows. He had now hear to lay His head. Poverty was one of His characteristics. Nobody ever stops to think, or rarely so, that He bore His poverty, and what for? “That through His poverty we might be made rich.” He bore our sorrows, what for? That we through His sorrows might be made glad. He bore our sufferings, for what? That we through His strips might be healed. He gave His life a sacrifice for sins, for what? That we should know no sin. Then having completed the redemption, or purchasing the redemption, the redemption becomes manifest on this side of Calvary.

I sometimes whish that I could turn the face of the believer the other way. You may observe that I very rarely turn the face of believers to the cross. The world looked to the cross until they passed it. But if they had never passed it, redemption would be no more of a reality than it was before. Redemption becomes a reality as we obtain the redemption. To obtain the fact that the Redeemer purchased is the purpose of the Christian life. On this side of the cross we see the victory, not the suffering, not the humility and dejection and rejection but the victory."

Christ died that we may live, we live because he rose again, defeating death and completely destroying all the power Satan had over us. All he can do now is try to deceive and lie, which is no small thing because he is master of it. We must study to show ourselves approved.

Good one Ann. I concur with the slogan of JGL Ministries, Dominion Bible School as overseen by Curry Blake, which reads, "GROW UP, STAND UP and SPEAK UP." There has never been a better, more relevant time in history for the church (His body) to do this. I fear we lean more towards the attitude of the first two men who walked past the attack victim on Jericho road than that of the Good Samaritan who did what was needed. Man 1: Priest. Man 2: Levite (worship leader). This is the church today. Too busy singing songs in church while the world around us is dying. May God wake us up.

[sherihartman]

It shouldn't be but this is a new thought for me. To consider Jesus after his resurrection and I suppose even during the resurrection. I'm fairly new to you Ann. I've been listening for about 2 weeks and since I am a Potter and working the studio I have a lot of time for listening while my hands are busy. I have been having my eyes opened as I listen. I wanted to say thank you. Thank you for repeating things and going slow. Sometimes it's just too fast and I don't absorb like I do as you are reading.
