Our big brother is the and has sent us to earth to conduct the business of the State—that is, the Kingdom of God (Hebrews 2:11) We are from heaven who represent the Kingdom of God to the earth (2 Corinthians 5:20). Specifically, we are to compel people to be to God on Christ’s behalf. However, as people from heaven who live on earth, sometimes it is to know how to live. When do we focus on our identity and when we focus on our one? How do you respond to this world’s needs without violating the principles of your home world? Notes You’re not from Here You’re not from here. You are from the one who you (John 17:16-18). Being sent is another way of saying you are an ambassador. Like contemporary ambassadors, the minute you are sent, you lose your to the (John 12:44-45). A sent one becomes the of the sender. The of the sent one comes from the sender (John 8:18). The sender is responsible for letting everyone know that the sent one is an representative of the sender. In the Kingdom of God, this validation comes from the . God sends His to rest upon and live within anyone who represents Him (John 1:29-34; John 15:26). Notes The Great Exchange Senders sent ones authority, power and identity. Sent ones their personal wills, words and works. John 6:38 John 7:16 John 12:49 John 14:24 John 4:34 John 10:37 John 9:4 Notes The Servant is not Greater than the Master If Jesus his own will to do the will of His sender, who are we not to do the same? (John 13:16) As the Father sent Jesus, Jesus has sent us (John 17:16-18). Notes The Love of the World Denying ourselves to do the will of our sender would be easy if there were no worldly . The promises the life, but as defined by humans. Scripture promises , the God life. The God life is the life, but as defined by God (John 10:10). We find the God life in . We follow Him by listening to His (John 10:27). Jesus communicates to us through the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit in us and in . Hence, the voice of Jesus is in the . The voice of the world is in our . The world serenades our and causes us to fall in love with it. When we fall in love with the world, we put good and bad in the wrong . John warns us about this deception (I John 2:15-17). The world’s offer is convincing because it on the . The world offers the most direct connection to the things that give us pleasure, satisfaction and boosted . However, what the world offers is and becomes less satisfying with each . The God life is eternal, but also requires you to trust that is a better judge of what is for you than you are. Notes Seeing the World Through the Eyes of the Father Ironically, we’re called to the world, but with a love that is from outside the world (John 3:16) You can’t use the love that comes from the world to it. The world can only be saved with love that comes from outside of it, which is the Love of the . God expresses His Love through His , but the Spirit feels to the world. The same Spirit that cares for followers of Jesus convicts sinners of their wicked ways (John 16: 7-11). The Holy Spirit lives in us and helps us express God’s love to sinners. God’s message of love to sinners is to be reconciled to God (John 3:16-19, 1 Corinthians 5:20) The primary way that we should be relating to the world is to them to be reconciled with God.
