SORROW FOR JOY: BEST TRADE EVER
I don't remember much of what I learned in the fifth grade, but I do remember Mr. Haley, soccer, baseball cards, and marbles. 
Mr. Haley was a slight man with a balding head and a strange personality.
Soccer was conducted on the playfield after lunch every day.
Baseball cards were carried in my hip pocket to be used for serious trading.
And marbles, well, marbles were always available for a quick game when we could find some dirt and someone to play with.
I did a lot of trading that year; my favorite baseball card for one I wanted from someone else. If we wanted it bad enough, we would trade two or three cards for one. Whatever it took to make the deal when we had to have that special card.
Well, those days are long gone; most of those cars are lost or buried in my stuff somewhere.
When I first opened my heart and life to Jesus, I had no idea what he had traded so that I could have the joy of salvation. I knew the preacher said that what I got was free and all I had to do was receive it, not realizing the price Jesus paid for my freedom.
It was the trade of the ages far beyond anything we can comprehend or appreciate except through the power of the Holy Spirit. And the only way we can continue to release any appreciation is by continually praising his name and loving his presence.
I traded my sorrows for joy, my sins for salvation, and my death for life, all because of the work that Jesus accomplished on the cross and resurrection.

THE VOICE OF GOD WITHIN YOU.
In my journeys with the body of Christ, I have discovered that fear of deception overwhelms a significant portion of them. They believe that the power of deception is far greater than the power of revelatory truth.
Because of this fear, the development of the kingdom of God has been dwarfed, and the maturity that God intended for us to be has been hindered.
It has not been unusual to hear someone tell Pastor I never heard that before; how could that be true my mother never believed that way. 
Somehow the church and the revelation of scripture have been frozen in time. The theologians and teachers at our seminaries and our puppets are still quoting concordance, written 500 years ago. As if God spoke one time and then has been silent since.
We have been identified so long as "sinners saved by grace" that when someone calls us a saint, we reject it as a fallacy. 
If we expect to advance into the image of Christ, we must change our conversation or identity and our voice. Second Corinthians 520 tells us that the voice of God is within us. We have been commissioned to call the world back to the father and to announce their redemption from sin.
Remember this as you prepare for your future success.
Your body is the temple of God; that's where he lives.
Sin no longer has dominion over you; it has been dealt with at the cross.
You now live in eternal life; you will never die. ( your body may lay down someday)
You are now ruling and reigning with Christ in heavenly places seated at the father's right hand.
Too many theologians are like our modern politicians, constantly kicking the can down the road. Everything God did for us on the cross and resurrection continues to be put off to some fairytale land in some distant time beyond our imagination. In the never-never land of rapture and heavenly bliss.
What do you think the scripture means, "now is the day of salvation?"
Salvation is more than just explaining the time you receive Jesus; it is everything that was given to you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. We don't wait for death or the second coming of Christ to be forgiven for sins, do we? Of course not? Why should we expect death to be the key that gives us everything Christ did for us at the cross and resurrection?
It's time for the body of Christ to release the voice of God that we have within and declare the whole council of his divine plan, and that is, he came to free the entire world from sin.
That's the message of righteousness.

The man in the middle.

Let me open up our time together by asking you a couple of questions.

Question number one why did Jesus come to earth?

Question number two what was the result of Jesus and his sacrifice on the cross?

Question number three what did that sacrifice do for us, and what are we to do with that?

I have found out that I often learn more by someone asking me a question. Questions will stimulate a part of our memory that we don't visit very often.

But most importantly, it allows the Holy Spirit to teach us by revelations. Remember, Jesus said that one of the primary functions of the Holy Spirit is to bring things to our memory that he has taught.

Those of us believers know that Jesus came to earth to return the human race to the father where their original home began.

Sacrifice on the cross sealed the deal. Jesus became the final sacrifice in a long series of lambs that were slaying; he was the one that made it work.

Because of his sacrifice on the cross, we now have access to the father through his name. He told us that after the Holy Ghost came, we could ask largely in the name of Jesus, and the father would respond.

But of course, that's not the end of the story; what are we to do now that we have been redeemed? 

A considerable slice of the modern church is sitting around waiting for the rapture bus so they can go to heaven and have peace and safety and long life.

However, if we remember, one of the essential things that took place was that Jesus became the firstborn of many sons. 

Scriptures tell us in first John, "as Jesus is, so are we on this earth."

He also told us that we could go out and do great exploits because we have been made in his image, which enabled us to do what he did.

Jesus was the man in the middle.

If we have been made in his likeness, you and I are the people in the middle.

We stand between heaven and earth and have been commissioned to bring men and women back to the father just like Jesus did. We have been authorized to be intercessors and ambassadors, and advocates so that others hear the message that the sacrifice of Jesus has redeemed them.

Be that person in the middle this week for someone.

Be that one that throws out the lifeline and rescues that misinformed person who has not heard the report that they have already been forgiven, come home.
