again when we began our journey through

the bible

it seemed like it was you know so

far to the completion day going at the

snail's pace of

one chapter a week but here we are

coming down towards the end as we

will cover tonight ii john next sunday

night 3rd john

the following sunday night the book of

jude and then we get into

the exciting book of revelation as we

deal with the

events of the future

second john the elder

john refers himself to the elder he's in

his 90s and so

he surely deserves the title at this point

point

the elder unto the elect lady

and her children a lot of speculation

as to who the elect lady was

it's all worthless what difference does

it make

that's not the message the message of course

course

is incorporated in the things that he

said to her but uh

like so many of the theological issues

they get

so in tangled with

who was the real author and was the

elect lady

uh was that her name uh

elite curia which of course

is uh our names in that time

lake tea is elect and of course the

curia is the feminine

form of kurios which is a

title of respect a male kurios would be

sir or

lord and so some believe

that is to the elect kuria that her name

was gubria

and to her children whom i

love in the truth or whom i truly love

and not i only

but also all of they that have known the truth

truth

and so john is going to be talking here

about truth he's going to be using this

word truth several times in the first

four verses

he loves her in the truth or truly loves

and not only john but all of those

that have known the truth love

her reputation is known

and people love her

for the truth's sake verse 2

which dwells in us and shall be with us

forever grace

be with you mercy and peace

from god the father now the typical

salutation in those days in a letter

like we write dear john

or susie or whatever

the typical greeting in those days the

heading of a letter

was grace and peace

be unto you you'll find this through all

of paul's

letters and it is a

just a very typical greeting in a letter

grace coming from the greek

typical greeting whenever

you would greet a person who was a greek

you would greet him with the word karus

or the grace the typical jewish

greeting is shalom and so the combining

of the two

the greek and the hebrew greeting grace

and peace

but here paul i mean john adds

mercy now in paul's pastoral epistles

timothy and titus he also adds

grace be with you mercy and

peace from god the father

and from the lord jesus christ the son

of the father

in truth and in love

i rejoice greatly that i found

of your children walking in truth

as we have received a commandment from

the father in the next letter to gaius

he'll say i have no greater joy

than to hear that my children are

walking in truth

one of the sad things

not only of the early church but of

the church history is that there are so many

many

who do not continue in the truth do not

walk in the truth

the bane of the early church were the

false prophets

paul the apostle was constantly being

hassled by people who were turning from

the truth

and turning people from the truth

paul writing to the galatians that i

marvel that you are so

soon turned from the truth

false teachers would follow paul around

now it is so

typical of of the cults

in that they really

concentrate on bringing people

nominal christians into their persuasion

rather than going out and seeking to reach

reach

the lost they they make

the church body their target for

proselytizing into their system of belief

belief

it's interesting that people hold these

particular positions on the scripture and

and

they are so dogmatic and so strong in it

that they feel

you've got to agree with them

and so their whole thrust is rather than

going out and winning the loss to jesus

christ it's winning the believers to

their persuasion

and it's easy to mark

those that are really winning the loss

to the lord

a real love for jesus will send you out

to the lost world

to win them and persuade them to receive

jesus christ

but there are always those who are only

seeking to persuade people to their

particular oddity of doctrine or belief

and so he is

encouraged that they are walking

in the truth they haven't swayed

and the truth that they received

from commandment of the father and now

he said

i beseech the lady not as though i wrote

a new commandment

unto thee but that which you had from

the beginning

that you love one another

in john 14 verse 15 jesus

said if you love me keep

my commandments in verse 21 he said

and he that hath my commandments and

keepeth them

he it is that loveth me and he that

loveth me shall be loved of my father

and i will love him and manifest myself

to him john 15 10 jesus said

if you keep my commandments you will abide

abide

as i have kept my father's commandments

and abide in his love in verse 14

you are my friends if you do whatever i

command you and then in john's first epistle

epistle

2 24 he said let that therefore

abide in you which you've heard from the beginning

beginning

if that which you have heard from the

beginning shall remain in you

ye shall also continue in the son and in

the father

and in 5 3 for this is the love of god

that we keep his commandments his

commandments are not

grievous so

the the essence is of course

loving god and loving one another

that's keeping his commandments to love

one another

but then also the commandment

of believing in

jesus christ as

the son of god as he

said in the first epistle let that

therefore abide in you which you've

heard from the beginning

that if you that which you have heard

from the beginning shall remain in you

ye shall also continue in the son and

in the father so

here he's going to talk about the love

but he's also going to talk about

the truth that jesus christ

is god the son

jesus christ is god manifested

in the flesh jesus christ is

the promised messiah who is the son

he is encouraged that they're walking in

the truth

and now he's encouraging them to continue

continue

in these basic foundational

truths and this is love

that we walk after his commandments

and this is the commandment

that as you have heard from the

beginning you should walk

in it because

there are many deceivers who are

entered into the world who confess

not that jesus christ is coming

in the flesh or jesus christ as

this is an interesting statement

in the previous uh

letter that john wrote he

said to try the spirits to see if they

are of god because there are false prophets

prophets

gone out into the world and the way we

test them

is that every uh hereby we know the

spirit of god every spirit that confesseth

confesseth

that jesus christ is come in the flesh

is of god

and that's the correct translation

the word there is in that

past tense is come in the flesh but this

is in the present

there were those early teachers who

taught that

jesus was a phantom

that there was no real substance he had no

real body that

he was a spirit being he had the

appearance of a body

but no real body because

they believe that everything material is evil

evil

and because a body is material it is evil

evil

and thus jesus could not have had a body

and that's their line of reasoning uh

but here is uh john says

that that is a denial of the truth

and uh that is really uh a

a false teachers and deceivers

that are teaching this this is

interesting of course here in

uh verse seven the deceivers

who confess not that jesus christ is coming

coming

in the flesh this could be

a denial that jesus is

coming future in the flesh

that when he comes again that he again

will have

a fleshly body

now we do know that after his resurrection

resurrection

jesus sought to more or less prove

to his disciples that he still had a

fleshly body

he asked them to give him some fish to eat

eat

and he and and he ate it in order to

show that he had a

fleshly body and

he said touch me and see and

resurrected body and when he comes again

it will be in like manner as they saw

him go

in a bodily form

now there are those

deceivers even today that deny that jesus

jesus

is coming in the flesh

and john says this is a deceiver and

an antichrist or the spirit of antichrist

antichrist

so look to yourselves that you lose not

those things which you have wrought

but that you receive a full reward in

other words

hold on to the truth that you received

don't be dissuaded by the deceivers and

the false prophets

that will go out into the world that

will preach another gospel

and really the false teachings

center around the

identity of jesus christ

who is he is he truly

and this is one of the areas where

of course you can mark the cults

they're teaching in regards to the

person of

jesus christ who he is

and so be careful look to yourselves or

be on watch

that you don't lose the things which we

have wrought

the teachings that we gave to you

but that you receive the full reward for whosoever

whosoever

transgresses and abides not

in the doctrine of christ

has not god he that abides in the

doctrine of christ

he has both the father and

in matthew's gospel

chapter 10 verse 40 jesus said he that

receiveth you receiveth

me and he that receiveth me

receiveth him that sent me

matthew 11 27 he said all things are

delivered to me of my father

no man knows the son but the father

neither knows any man the father

saved the son and he to whomsoever

the son will reveal him [Music]

[Music]

that relationship with the father and

the son

nobody really knows the father except

those whom the son

reveals to them in john 5

19 then jesus answered and said unto

them verily verily i say unto you

the son can do nothing of himself

but what he sees the father do for what

things so ever he doeth

these also doeth the son likewise

for the father loves the son and shows

him all things

that himself doeth and he will show him

greater works than these that he may marvel

marvel

for as the father raiseth up the dead

and makes alive those

even so the son will make alive whom he will

will

for the father judgeth no man but has

committed all judgment unto the son

that all men should honor the son even

as they honor the father and he that

honoreth not the son

honoreth not the father which has

sent him so john is

or jesus actually is is making these

declarations of this relationship that

he has with the father

that oneness that he has with the father

and in john's first epistle chapter 2

he said who is a liar but he that denies

that jesus

is the messiah he is the antichrist

who denies the father and the son

whosoever denies the son the same has not

not

the father but he that acknowledges the son

son

has the father also let that therefore

abide in you

which you have heard from the beginning

if that which you have heard from the

beginning shall remain in you

ye also shall continue in the son and

in the father so the necessity

of believing that jesus

is indeed the son of god

and you could not say these things of

an angel you could not say these things

of some man who has been elevated to a

high position it can only be said

of the son of god the only begotten

son of god and the importance to hold on to

and to maintain the deity of jesus christ

christ

for if you don't have the son you really

don't have the father either

and there are those that are seeking to

make a separation between them

and they would make jesus something less

than god they would make jesus

in an angel category

as a created being

not one who has existed from the

beginning with god

that which was from the beginning which

we have seen which we have heard which

we have touched

john said and so in the cults

there is that tendency

to demean the person of jesus christ

to put him on a lower level

such as the jehovah witnesses who

declare that he is michael the archangel

or such as the mormons who say

that he is a brother of lucifer

putting him in a category of a created

being but

john is very careful here to point out

when you deny the son in reality you deny

deny

the father also

so whosoever transgresses and abides not

in the doctrine

of christ has not

god and he that abides in the doctrine

of christ

he has both the father

back in john 5 18

we read that the jews sought to kill him

that is jesus because he had not only

broken their sabbath

but he said also that god was his father

making himself equal with god

now they understood that things were

that jesus was saying

and they were ready to stone him because

he was making himself

5 23 jesus said that all men should

honor the son

even as they honor the father and he

that honoreth not the son

honoreth not the father which has sent him

him

then in john 10 30 jesus said very plainly

plainly

i and the father are one

no angel could say that no man could say that

that

then the jews took up stones again to

stone him and jesus answered them

many good works have i showed you from

my father

for which of these works are you going

to stone me

and the jews answered saying for a good work

work

we don't stone you but for blasphemy

because you being a man

make yourself god

they understood jesus very clearly

that he was declaring to be god

you remember when satan took

jesus to what they called the mount of

temptation a high mountain

showed him the kingdoms of the world and

offered them to jesus if jesus would

just bow down and

worship him do you remember the answer

of jesus to satan

it is written thou shalt worship

the lord thy god and him

only shalt thou serve

only one is to be worshipped and that is

god him only

but yet we see jesus receiving

worship matthew 8 2 there

came a leper and worshiped him

matthew 9 18 while he spake these things

unto them behold there came a certain ruler

ruler

and worshipped him matthew 14

33 then they that were in the ship came

and worshipped him saying of a truth you are

are

the son of god matthew 15 25 then came

she and worshipped him saying

lord help me matthew 28 9

and as they went to tell the disciples

behold jesus met them and

said all hail and they came and held him

by the feet and

and then when jesus appeared to the disciples

disciples

matthew tells us when they saw him they

worshipped him

so he received worship

and only god is to be worshipped

but to put the seal on that in hebrews 1

6 he tells that when god

brought jesus into the world

he said and let all of the angels

of god worship him

which again puts him above the category

of an angel this is

important this is essential doctrine

and there are those

who in john's day were going around

denying this truth

john said they were false prophets they

were deceivers

and there are people going around today

denying this basic truth

this foundational truth

that jesus is indeed god

we read that god was in christ

reconciling the world to himself

as jesus died on the cross for us

god was paying the price for our sins

way back in genesis

when we had that interesting type

of god saying to abraham take now thy son

son

thine only son isaac whom thou lovest

and offer him

unto me as a sacrifice on a mountain

that i will

show you that verse is so

similar to for god so loved the world

that he gave his only begotten son

take now thy son thine only son whom

thou lovest

offer him as a sacrifice and we remember

the story how that as

they left the servants at the bottom of

mount moriah

and abraham and isaac were walking together

together

up the mountain

isaac said to his dad hey dad

we've got the wood

and we've got the fire but we're missing

the sacrifice

and abraham then declared and it is a prophecy

prophecy

god will provide himself

a sacrifice in the mount

of the lord it shall be seen and so

he is prophesying that god will provide

himself a sacrifice

and when of course the lord

directed abraham to take the ram that

was caught by its

horns in the thicket and to offer it as

the sacrifice

abraham called the name of the place

jehovah jireh

the lord will provide in the mount of

the lord he said

it shall be seen

no accident that 2000 years later

on mount moriah god provided himself a sacrifice

sacrifice

the same mount where abraham offered

isaac was the same mount

where god offered his only begotten

son as the sacrifice for our sins

so the importance of holding to the

doctrine of

christ because when you do

you have both the father and

the son and if there come any

if they come denying

this doctrine of christ that he is god

that jesus is god manifested in the flesh

flesh

john says don't invite them into your house

house

and john said don't invite them into

and uh other days they are riding

bicycles and wearing

but they deny the real doctrine of jesus

christ because

they would make him something less than god

god

they would make him a created being they

would put him in the angel classification

classification

john said don't receive them into your house

house

because in so doing uh

goodbye is sort of a contraction the old english

english

was god be with ye and

uh so it's been contracted to goodbye

but he said don't don't bid them farewell

because if you do bid them godspeed

you actually become a partaker of their

now john said i have a lot of things

to write to you about but

i would not write with paper and

but i trust to come unto you that i

might speak to you

face to face that our joy

may be full now

it is interesting that

this term joy may be full

is used by john in the gospel

and in his first and second letters

the fullness of joy

that belongs to the believer

and so he is wanting to

fellowship with them

that they might experience the fullness

of joy

of being with each other face to face

uh more things that he'd like to write

but of course john is getting old and i

imagine the pen is sort of shaky

and so he's not wanting to write them

with pen and eek i want to come

and see you face to face that the joy

might be

full the joy of christian fellowship

jesus talked about fullness of joy in

our our prayer life in

john 15 as he talks about this relationship

relationship

that we have with him the vine and the branches

branches

the abiding in him and are abiding

uh he is abiding in us and are abiding

in him

and uh that we can ask whatever we will

that our joy might be full the fullness

of joy in abiding with christ and then

in the 16th chapter of the fullness of joy

joy

in our prayer life ask

please ask that you might receive that

your joy may be full

in his first letter john talks about the

fullness of joy and he relates

it to our fellowship

with god that which we have seen and heard

heard

we declare unto you that you might have

fellowship with us

and truly our fellowship is with the

father and his son jesus christ

and these things right we unto you that

your joy may be

full relating it to our fellowship with god

god

and hear our fellowship with each other

but in all things god does desire

that you experience the fullness of joy

that comes by knowing jesus christ

talking with him in prayer receiving

from him

and of course fellowshipping with him

the children of thy elect sister greet thee

thee

amen so it's just a very short little

epistle of john

the main issues are the abiding in the

commandment to love one another

and to abide in the teaching

that they first receive concerning jesus

that he is one with the father that he

is god

manifested in the flesh

father we thank you for the instruction

that we receive from your word

and lord we realize that

even as in john's day there were many deceivers

deceivers

that were denying these basic

drawing men after themselves

but in reality having the spirit of

antichrist because

they would demean our lord

and father we pray that even as

john sought fit to warn those

believers in those days that we will realize

realize

the danger of the false prophets

and of the deceivers who would go around today

today

demeaning our wonderful lord

and so jesus we exalt you

and we praise your name

and we receive you as our lord and as

our savior and recognize

that you and the father are one

and by seeing you we see the father

lord thank you for revealing the father

to us

and bringing us unto the father

we rejoice lord in our lord jesus christ

and there are often certainties that are

troubling to us

things that we know that we're going to

be facing this week that

we would rather not face if we could

problems difficulties that have arisen

how important it is

to come to the lord and seek his

guidance and his counsel

his wisdom in these things

the bible tells us if any man lacks in

wisdom let him

ask of god who gives to all men freely

and upbraids not

the bible tells us to confess our faults

one to another and to pray one for another

that we might be healed and the

effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man

man

availeth much the pastors are down here tonight

tonight

to pray with you and to pray for you

if you're going to be facing some

trials this week if you

have uncertainties that are coming

along maybe even an operation

part examined like i went to the doctor

and he had to

excise a little basal cell carcinoma

cancer this out of my eye this you may

wonder what's wrong with his eye well

had one of those little nasty things removed

removed

and you just would like the assurance of

prayer we invite you to

come on down the pastors are here for

that very purpose of

praying for you may the lord

watch over and keep you in his love

fill you with his spirit and may you abide

abide

in the doctrine of jesus christ holding fast

fast

the truth in jesus name

and i lift my voice

to worship

you all my soul

rejoice take

may it be a sweet sweet

sound in your ear
