MATHEW 18:11
|
11)For the son of man is
come to save that which was
lost
12) how think ye? If a man
has a hundred sheep, and
one of them be gone astray,
doth he not leave the ninety
and nine, and goeth into the
mountains, and seeketh that
which is gone astray?
13)Even so it is not the will
of your FATHER which is in
heaven that one of these
little ones should perish

THE SON OF MAN IS COME
FOR THE LOST MAN
JESUS come to save the lost
This Is JESUS great message
of purpose, this is why he
came to earth, he came to
save the lost:
It means the JESUS CHRIST
willingly and deliberately left
the glory of heaven and
made himself nothing to
rescue the whole world.
Each person has drifted away
from GOD, is lost, and is
wandering about in a
wilderness of sin: and each
person is doomed to be
destroyed by that wilderness
unless he is reached and
saved by JESUS CHRIST
Man remains lost, gone
astray from God with
unprofitable worship, lost to
GOD, man worship, service
and lifestyle are lost to GOD
as far as man remain lost.
TO SAVE THE LOST
Some believer are weak,
never having grown in the
LORD, others cool off and
wander away: still others
backslide into sin and shame,
some are stubborn to wards
the LORD, and some become
self-centered who are lost
FOR THE SON OF MAN
That the Son of man came to
seek and save them, he came
in search of them that are
lost, he found them; he
redeemed them, it was the
great object of his life.

LUKE 9:54-56

54)And when his disciples
James and John saw this ,
they said, LORD, wit thou
that we command fire to
come down from heaven,
and consume them, even as
Elijah did?
55)But he turned, and
rebuked them, and said, ye
know not what manner of
Spirit ye are of
56)For the Son of man is not
come to destroy mens’s live,
but to save them, and they
went to another village
|
WHEN HIS DISCIPLES JAMES
AND JOHN( BOANERGES
SON OF THUNDER) SAW
THIS- JESUS sent some
disciples to run ahead of
him, and prepare the way of
his coming, but was rejected
by the Samaritans, because
he was heading for Jerusalem
place , going to a place they
despised .
The Jews are unacceptable
to them; therefore, they will
have nothing to do with
JESUS if he were to minister
in Jerusalem
Jerusalem have it own
worship and priest, and the
Samaritans theirs , that if
JESUS would be theirs alone,
they would gladly receive
him, if not he is not
welcomed.
James and John were upset,
fiery and angry over such
rejection, they ask JESUS if
they should destroy he
village by calling fire from
heaven to consume the
people
THE WRONG
UNDERSTANDING OF JESUS
MISSION BY JAMES AND
JOHN
The wrong understanding of
JESUS’s Mission on earth,
was subjecting men and
forcing them to worship and
serve GOD
JESUS MISSION EXPLAINED
JESUS mission was not to
destroy life, but to save it,
this is repeated

LUKE 19:8-10
|
8)And Zaccheus stood, and
said unto the LORD: behold,
LORD, the half of my goods I
gave to the poor; and if I
have taken any thing from
any man by false accusation I
restore him fourfold
9)And JESUS said unto him
this day is Salvation come to
this house; forasmuch as he
also is a son of Abraham
10)For the Son of Man is
come to seek and to save
that which was lost
|
Zaccuhaeus was a sinner, as
he was a betrayer of his
people, serving the alien
power of Rome, and
Zaccuheaus himself knew
there was need for a savior
The crowd demonstrated
self righteousness, they did
not like JESUS eating and
associating with a known and
confessed sinner
Zacchaeus repented and
change his whole life; he
completely turn from sinful
life to GOD and his way of
righteousness by giving half
his possession to the poor,
he did exactly what JESUS
had said time and time,,
what the rich young ruler
had refused to do LUKE
18:18-24
CONVERSION OF
ZACCHEAUS
He gave back to those whom
he had cheated; he gave four
time what he had taken,
(RESTITUTION)
Zacchaueus truly repented,
JESUS CHRIST MISSION
That repentance saved
Zacchaeus,and that
Zacchaeus would bring the
message of salvation to his
household.
JESUS SEEK TO SAVE THE
LOST
The lost are the ones who
are perishing, being
destroyed, losing eternal life,
cut from GOD and the
spiritually destitute
JESUS , seek and save the
lost, is the one who sought
Zacchaeus, Zaccuhaeus put
himself in a position to see
JESUS, JESUS speak to
Zacchuaeus hearts and he
received JESUS and saved
him

begotten SON, that
whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have
everlasting life

FOR GOD SO LOVE THE
WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS
ONLY BEGOTTEN SON
The idea that GOD loves the
whole world is new idea, the
Jews believe GOD loved the
religion, the real Jews hated
the non—religious(gentile),
the same thought is held by
many in every generation by
religionist.
GOD LOVE EVERY PERSON
GOD love every person, not
just the religious and the
good, he does not love
people that loves him, he
love every one, even the
unloved and the unloving,
the unbelieving, selfish and
greedy, the unkind:
- Vile person
- Murderer
- Immoral persons
- Wife beater
- Thief
- Alcoholic
Love is both an attribute and
description of his being, GOD
alone is the epitome of divine
love and source of all true
love
LOVE ACTS-it expresses it
self, love does not sit still,
doing nothing, it is not
dormant, complacent,
inactive.
If love really exist, it has to
act and express itself, it has
to do something good, love is
loving that is always
demonstrating love to
others, therefore GOD’slove
acts and reveals him to be
love
But not every man in the
world is meant, or all the
individuals of human nature;
for all are not objects of
GOD’S special love, but to
whomsoever he gave his
SON, he give all things freely
with him , which is not the
case of every man
THE WORLD- That is every
living soul in the place called
the world
HE GAVE
Ther is the evidence of GOs’s
love- GOD gave his only SON,
GOD demonstrated his love
in the most perfect way
possible: he gave his one and
only SON to the world
To die for a sacrifice for their
sins, to die in their stead, and
give a satisfaction for them
to his justice to save man
* To save man from
perishing
* To save men to
eternal life
* To save men through
belief
NOT PERISH- not to be lost,
to destroy, to lose utterly, to
lose eternal life, not to be cut
off, having to die, facing
judgment, being condemned,
suffering separation from
GOD, experiencing hell
GOD SENT THE SON TO SAVE
NOT TO CONDEMN
JESUS CHRIST was not sent to
condemn or to judge the
world.
JESUS was not sent to
condemn us or judge us,
judgment and condemnation
is not his purpose
His purpose was to save us
from perishing and to save us
to eternal life, salvation is
through him JESUS CHRIST

JOHN 3:36
|
36)He that believeth on the
SON hath everlasting life; and
he that believeth not the Son
shall not see life; but the
wrath of GOD abideth on him
|
HE THAT BELIEVE ON THE
SON HATH EVERLASTING
LIFE
Has or is in possession of
that which is a recovery from
spiritual death, and which
will result in eternal life in
heaven
The man who believe in the
SON has eternal life,
BUT HE THAT BELIEVE NOT
THE SON
Shall not see life-Shall
neither enjoy true life or
happiness here nor in the
world to come, shall never
enter heaven
The man who does not
believe the SON faces two
things:
He will not see life, he
perishes
THE WRATH OF GOD - as the
sentence of wrath, of
condemnation, and death,
and the curse of the law
were pronounced upon him
in Adam, as on all mankind.
abide on him, the anger, of
GOD, temper, indignation:
*Anger against sin
*Reaction against
righteousness
*Opposition to the injustice
of men
*Punishment of evil and
wicked men
