in the Gospels Jesus was front-page news
Jesus was so much front-page news that
he said if you reject me you reject the
father I’m the front page I am the way
okay I’m front page when he said i’ma
send the Holy Spirit he told them I
believe but I’m still gonna be in the
front page cuz he will talk about me big
ego he won’t he will not talk about
himself he will talk about me so I’m the
superstar so I will be with you always
that was this Jesus is not equally
related to every Christian and he’s not
equally related to every creature even
if all of them are saved he was not
equally related to all of his followers
he had the 70 he had the 12 and he had
the three and each one of them got a
little bit more of him only three went
up to the Mount of Transfiguration all
twelve did he didn’t relate to everybody
the same way that’s cuz everybody didn’t
relate to him on the same level Saint
John chapter 2 verses 23 to 25 says many
believed in him the Greek phrases pistou
o ice but still ice always means get
saved in the book of John he says many
got saved many believed in him and then
it says but he would not commit himself
to them so their pastors Jesus won’t
commit to their churches he won’t commit
to their leaders he won’t commit to
their Saints he won’t commit to because
this verse is not talking about Jesus
being with you when you’re sick Jesus
being with you when you’re down Jesus
being with you into discouraged that’s
not this verse this verse is talking
about I will be with you when you are
making disciples
he says if you want my special presence
if you want my intimate if you want me
to be committed to you then I gotta have
more than a Sunday morning sermon I
gotta have more than a great choir or
choir festival I gotta have more than
well-dressed ashes I gotta have more
than a nice Sunday school programs I
gotta know that you are making folk look
like me and until I know that is your
goal you will not experience all of me
that might be available to you because
I’m discriminatory and who I give myself
to you have people in your church they
don’t all get the same access to you
that’s the general congregation then
there’s the leadership I mean you got
people at different level you love them
all but you don’t relate to them all the
same way because some of them relate to
you at a distance and some of them you
deal with them on a more intimate and a
more and more responsible level so what
I’m saying to you is you get a bonus
when you are a disciple making pastor
and pastor’s wife and you are making a
disciple making Church with all the
other frills that’s fine that go along
with it but don’t let the fruit become
the rule that you ought to make
disciples and when we do that and that’s
what our conference is designed to do
