Some Things That Make Jesus Sick
Rev 3:14-22
Intro: Hear Jesus is speaking to the Church at Ladodacia, a Church that I believe mirrors our church world today!
I believe that AMERICA has done some things that make Jesus Sick
I believe the CHURCH has done some things that makes him sick
I believe that the AVERAGE BAPTIST live life’s that make him sick
And I believe that there are SOME RIGHT HEAR TODAY THAT ARE LIVING A LIFE THAT MAKE HIM SICK!
1 – HE IS SICK OF OUR PREOCUPATIONS VS 15
NOTICE THE WORDS “I KNOW THY WORKS”
Today most Christians are too preoccupied to do anything for Jesus and I believe it makes him sick!
A – WE ARE PRE – OCUPIED WITH OUR PLANS
So often our plans do not match god’s plans but we don’t care!
B – WE ARE PRE-OCUPIED WITH OUR PLEASURES
C – WE ARE PRE-OCUPIED WITH OUR PROBLEMS
I have never seen a time when so many people were consumed with their problems!
it is a sin to worry!
AND HE IS STILL ABLE TO KEEP THEM IN PERFECT PEACE WHO’S HEART IS STAYED ON HIM.
2 – HE IS SICK OF OUR POSITION
neither cold nor hot but luke warm!
my friend that is the condition of so many hear today, you have lost your fervor!
you have not gone so far as to be cold, but you are certainty not hot!
A – OUR POSITION IS ONE OF COMPROMISE
B – OUR POSITION IS ONE OF COMPLACANCEY
in other words we don’t want to do any thing about it!
C – OUR POSITION IS ONE OF CONFUSION
the fact is that so many have been luke warm for so long that they don’t even know it!
are you a Sunday morning only Christian?
if not you are luke warm!
3 – HE IS SICK OF OUR POSSESIONS VS 17
It was not that this church was poor! Oh no they were rich!
They had all the material riches that this world could want but were poor spiritually!
We have nicer buildings, nicer things, and richer members than ever before but less of the spirit of god!
My friend it is not the things that make him sick but the love of those things, and those things coming between him and us!
4 – HE IS SICK OF OUR PERCEPTION VS 18
He tells this church to buy eye salve and anoint their eyes so that they can see!
My friend we live in a time were so many in the church are blind!
A – THEY ARE BLIND TO THE NEEDS OF THE LOST
B – THEY ARE BLIND TO THE NATURE OF SIN
C – THEY ARE BLIND TO THE NEARNESS OF HIS COMEING
5 – HE IS SICK OF HIS POSITION VS 20-21
WHAT A PICTURE – HEAR JESUS IS OUTSIDE OF HIS OWN CHURCH, AND YET HE HAS SO MUCH COMPASSION THAT HE IS STILL WILLING TO KNOCK ON THE DOOR OF HIS OWN CHURCH!
