Today’s Sermon
Selfishness, Who owns us?
Ps. 100:3
“Know that the Lord, He is God; It is He who has made
us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the
sheep of His pasture”
Wow that is such an awesome scripture. “We are His
people” is that awesome or what? To know we have a
purpose and we belong to something or in this case
Someone. That someone is God. I cant tell you how
awesome that is. I love the idea and yes I am
conceded in knowing that I belong to Him.
Some people love to say. “I’m own person.” Well guess
what! Your not! You belong to HIM. It says he knew
us before our parents knew us. We are His creation
and it is His will that we are made.
Gen 2:6-7
6 “but a mist went up from the earth and watered the
whole face of the ground.”
7 “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the
ground, and breathed into his nostrils breath of life;
and man became a living being.”
He made us from dirt of the earth of which He created.
Scientists the human body is made from 70% water and
the rest from minerals. In vs. 6 it rain on the
earth. And in v7 he used the dust (dirt, clay) and
formed us. In Jn 8:23 where Jesus says we are from
Gods breath and He is not of this world but we are
from this world. We are made from this world.
Is He better than us? Is he above us? Yes he is. God
sent him down so he can walk with us and redeem us.
Nothing good comes from the ground. When we play in
it what happens get dirty. Jesus was from Mary who
was untouched a virgin.
Lk 1:26-35 V35 The Holy Spirit will come upon and the
power of the Highest will come over you and shadow you
there for also that the Holy on who is to be born will
be called the Son of God.
Jesus was made to walk with us but he was not made of
us but for us. He was here to save us from His
Judgment Jesus was not made of dirt like we were but
He was born of poor stature. IE manger. He was born
with the animals How awful does that sound. The Son
of God born in a manger. But its also a blessing. He
wanted us to know him. He wanted us not to be judged
so he brought Son down so we can avoid judgment.
Ps 50: 4 That he may judge His people.
We belong to him. V7 I am Your God..
He is our God. He made us we are his Creatures which
he made. He gave us life. No one else did he did.
We became a living being when he breathed in us the
breath of life. Think about it. We are alive because
breathed on us. I think that is so awesome.
God had created the animals for us to enjoy. He
created woman from us. So that we may tend to the
earth. We are created in his image. He cares for us
so much and look at all that he has done for us. Both
in Genesis and the gospels. He gave us life. We
Turned from him, but what did He do he gave us his Son.
