Sermon/Study Outline of 3 John
The universality of that revelation is startling. When the efforts of man, doing the work of the Lord, run into to difficulties-this admonition rises to meet him. Man's effort apart from the will and leadership of the Lord do not possess this attribute. When Zerubbabel met opposition and mountains of oppression from both inside the camp (Israel abandoned building the Temple and began building homes for themselves) and outside the camp (surrounding tribes sought legal and illegal means to stop the work and were successful upon occasion), he must have entertained discouragement. Zechariah's words were edifying to him.
A Further Study on Grace and what it really means not just for the Jews but all of the world today. Luke continues by emphasizing the aspect of "fullness" associated with "this kind of grace." On Jesus rested all the manifestations of grace found in all the Old Testament ancients and all the coming glory of New Covenant grace. He was "filled with wisdom and the grace of God was upon Him." It was a visible grace.
Study of 2 Thessalonians
Our Lord cleaned the temple and we are to clean our house. What was said to the dove merchants was meant for the entire structure of the compromised Temple. It could have been said to money changers, sheep traders and purveyors of incense. It was shouted to one, but included everyone.
Complete study of 1 Peter
Paul tackled the opponents of Grace throughout this wonderful first book of his writings. Having suffered much from the Jews, he was unwilling to see his converts slide back into a form of Judaism, even though it was being administered and nurtured by Jewish converts. However, in attacking this error, he, in essence, attacked all forthcoming attempts to "add things" to the Grace Gospel flowing out of Christ.
