Into The World - Nazareth

Into The World – Nazareth

8/12/2024

Thank you all for allowing me to come and speak with you. Thank you for the wonderful accommodations you provided. I keep telling you, you don't have to do this. You continue to blow me away. I said I'm a person who didn't travel much, but when I did, I was happy with motel sixes and Super 8s. You have done very well for me, and I thank you very much for that and for this opportunity.

It's good to be back with you and talk with some of you. Hopefully, I have a chance to do that some more. I'll keep things brief and get right to the point of what we're going to talk about this evening. We're going to have a series of lessons. The title of this is going into the World. We're doing a series of lessons based on Bible places mentioned in the Bible.

We think a lot about places, and places mean a lot. For the last couple of weeks, much of the world's attention has been riveted on one place—Paris, France. People have paid a lot of attention. They've given a lot of attention to the training, the hard work, the lifetimes, the preparation that these athletes put in before they swim across the pool once and back, before they can land that one tumbling pass, so they can play basketball or whatever the case may be.

We, as the apostle Paul wrote to the church in Corinthians, we are also competing. We compete for a prize. We're competing for a prize that will last a lot longer than the laurels that they gave athletes in ancient times and longer than the metals that they hang around their neck that seem to be a thing this year. They're supposed to bite them. Everybody bit the metal when they were having their pictures taken.

Someday the teeth that bit that metal won't be around anymore. Neither will the metal because it's going to be consumed. The Crown of Life is better than an Olympic metal. It's better than a World Series trophy. It's even better than the Super Bowl ring for the Brown's Nation up here. This is a big deal. People remember where Olympic athletes are from, and that's where we're going to zoom in.

I would like to thank Brother Mark for leading that song we just sang and the verse of that song we just sang, that we saw Jesus not. Where did he hail from on this Earth? That despised Nazareth. A lot of towns, especially down in rural areas like where I'm from, have signs as you go in. This is Malta, Ohio, home of Olympic Bronze medalist, fill in the blank. Actually, Malta is home to no one except James Thurber, I believe, who wrote novels about Ohio. A lot of towns have home of this or home of that. There's a town close by called the Plains, where they have a sign, Home of Joe Burrow, Cincinnati quarterback.

Turn over to the gospel of Luke, Chapter 1. The little town Jesus hailed from wasn't where he was born. Where he hailed from wasn't a famous town. It hadn't been a famous town during Jesus’ life on Earth. Its Fame, its reputation didn't improve much.

In Luke 1, beginning with verse 36 says, Now, in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary. And having come in, ' the angel said to her, Rejoice, highly favored one. The Lord is with you. ' 'Blessed are you among women. ' But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. Then the angel said to her, 'Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. ' 'And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a son, and she'll call his name Jesus. ' 'He will be great and will be called the Son of the Highest, and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end. Then Mary said to the angel, 'How can this be since I do not know a man? And the angel answered and said to her, 'The Holy spirit will come upon you and the power of the highest will overshadow you. Therefore also that Holy one who is to be born will be called the Son of God.

As suggested in the song Oh, How Marvelous. The lyrics are I stand amazed in the presence of Jesus, the Nazarene. We tend to telescope things across 2000 years. Nazareth, great place? It wasn't considered a great place in those days. We know that Joseph was from Nazareth. The husband, I won't say he was Jesus' father, of course, because he technically he wasn't, but the husband of Mary was from Nazareth.

Turn over one chapter to Luke 2 beginning with... Again, I’m reading this from the English Standard Version. …verse one. It says, In those days, a decree went out from Caesar Augustus so that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. (In order to register for the Roman census, people were required to go back to their ancestral lands.) All went to be registered, each to his own town. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be registered with Mary his betrothed who was with child.

Nazareth wasn't Bethlehem. Jesus was physically born in Bethlehem, but he grew up in Nazareth. Nazareth was where? We already read that in chapter one. Nazareth was in Galilee.

I'm from southeast Ohio. Southeastern Ohio is considered part of Appalachia. Appalachia has a bit of a reputation. Appalachia has a bit of a reputation for being a land of poverty. In large part, that's true. Galilee had a reputation that was less than stellar. In Jesus day, the Jews believe that the closer you lived to Jerusalem, God's holy city, the holier you were. If you're familiar with the geography of Palestine, you know that Jerusalem was well south of Galilee in Judea. Samaria was between where Samaritans lived was between Judea and Galilee. Jews were a majority in Judea. Galilee was not seen as a particularly good place, a particularly desirable place. Nazareth seemed hardly the place to expect the Christ, the Messiah, to come from—at least to many Jews.

You're going to see that as they react to Jesus. We know he grew up there. Let’s turn over to Luke 2:51. It says, And He, (Jesus,) went down with them, (His parents, Mary and Joseph,) and came to Nazareth and was submissive to them. And his mother treasured up all these things in her heart that he had said about being in his father's house or about his father's business.

That's where Jesus was from, as we would say on Earth. That's where he grew up. What had Nazareth been before Jesus? Not much. Search through the Old Testament. How many Major Prophets came from Nazareth? Not every prophet's origin is given in the Old Testament, but as far as we know, none. No major prophet, no major Jewish hero such as Samson or Barak or Gideon. No king can ever come from there. The scripture tells us that it was despised.

Turn over, please, to the gospel of John, chapter one verse 44. John says, Now, Philip was from Bethesda, the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip found Nathaniel and said to him, 'We have found him, of whom Moses and the law, and also the prophets, 'Jesus, ' (Notice what he calls him,) 'Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. '

Nathaniel says, certainly. I know the prophets. Moses said there would be another prophet like me who's going to come along. You should listen to him. ‘That’s in Deuteronomy. He said, 'Isaiah wrote in great detail about one who was going to be crushed and bruised for us. Look at Nathaniel's reaction. In verse 46, Nathaniel said to him, Can anything good come out of Nazareth? Philip said to him, Come and see.

The world places a lot of emphasis on where we're from. Among the medalists at the Olympics, there was one who won the first ever medal of any color from a little tiny Caribbean nation called St. Lucia. There was a lot of emphasis on that. The world puts a lot of emphasis on where we hail from physically. There are flags next to all the athletes in the Olympics saying where they're from.

Jesus did not start his earthly life in Jerusalem or in Rome, the capital of the world at the time. He started his earthly life in Nazareth, just as it was foretold. Turn back to the gospel of Matthew here. Matthew was largely written originally, to show, according to the Jewish Old Testament, the Jewish scriptures, God's word, that Jesus is fulfillment of prophecy.

Let’s just read one verse here. Matthew 2:23 says, And he went…, (that's Jesus,) …and he went, and went and he dwelled in a city called Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets. He shall be called a Nazarene. The Old Testament prophets had said the Messiah was not going to be beautiful, but was going to be despised. That's a problem, of course, with all the paintings of Jesus that have been done over the years.

What is He? He's physically beautiful? He's shining? Sometimes he literally has a halo over his head? If you looked at a person and he looked like that, wouldn't you think there was something special about him? Wouldn't you follow him? Isaiah, of course, makes it very plain in his prophecy, Isaiah chapters 52 through 53, says that you, (I'm paraphrasing), you didn't follow Jesus because of how he looked. He didn't look like the world expected a king to look. You didn't follow Jesus saying, ‘Oh, look at that guy. He must be someone special. He must be a prophet. He must be the son of God.’ You didn't look at him and say that.

What did the temple officers say when they were sent to arrest him? They said, No man ever spoke like this man. Not, No man ever looked like a king more than him. No, they said, No man ever spoke like this man. One thing we can learn is that the world places a lot of emphasis on where we're from physically. What did God make clear to Peter, for example, in Acts 10, wherever we're from in nation God accepts those who do what is right or work righteousness and fear Him.

That's one thing we can learn from this. The second thing is related to that which is God's plan is not man's plan. God's plan is not a human plan. Men expected a lot out of Jesus that He didn't do. Many of them expected him to rise up armies, and overthrow the Romans, and reestablish a kingdom here on Earth.

Let's look briefly at all four gospel accounts one more time and see that throughout his life on Earth, Jesus is referred to as a Nazarene. We've almost turned this into a badge of honor. It wasn't in those days. You should still be in Matthew. Matthew 21:10 We're coming in at the end here of what we refer to as Jesus' triumphal entry.

Matthew 21:10 says, And when he, Jesus, had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, 'Who is this? ' So the multitude said, 'This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee.

Even the demons, by the way, called him Jesus of Nazareth. Turn over to the gospel of Mark chapter 1, beginning with verse 23. It says, Now there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit And he cried out saying, 'Let us alone. What have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Did you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy one of God.' But Jesus rebuked him saying, 'Be quiet and come out of him.' And when the unclean spirit had convulsed him and cried out with a loud voice, he came out of him.

Turn over to Luke 18 verse 35. It says, Then it happened as he, Jesus, was coming near Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the road begging, and hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what it meant. So they told him that... Here he is again. Jesus of Nazareth was passing by, and he cried out saying, Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me. Then those who went before warned him that he should be quiet, but he cried out all the more, 'Son of David, have mercy on me.’ So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near, he asked him, saying, ‘What do you want me to do for you?’ He said, ‘Lord, that I may receive my sight.’ Then Jesus said to him, receive your sight. Your faith has made you well. And even to the end of Jesus' earthly life, he was referred to that way.

Turn over once more gospel to of John, chapter 19:19. To the end of his life on earth, he bore that title. John says, Now, Pilate put a title and put it on the cross. And the writing was Jesus of Nazareth, the king of the Jews. Even at the end of his life on Earth, Jesus was known in his own time, if you will, the time he was on Earth, that is, as Jesus of Nazareth.

How do you suppose of Nazareth, felt about that? Again, we've almost turned Nazarene into a good thing, into a good title. There's a denominational church called the Church of Nazarene. We’ve turned it into a good thing, good title, or at least some people have. What about the Nazarenes themselves? How did they react to Jesus?

Back to where we started with this lesson, we talked about Olympic athletes. This town was the home of, et cetera, et cetera. Mentor, where I used to live, what does it say? It was the home of James Garfield. He came back as an adult when he was preaching. He didn't just live there physically as a child, but he came back there. Did Nazareth greet him? Turn out with parades? Put up a big sign that says, Welcome home, Jesus? I'm sure we welcome the Olympic athletes home with parades and fanfare, Super Bowl champions and World Series winners. We have parades because they put us on the map, or so we think.

How did Nazareth react when Jesus had His homecoming. Turn to the gospel of Luke chapter 4 and we'll see how Nazareth reacted to Jesus. They didn't welcome him, but let's go and read it for ourselves as we should.

Luke 4:16 says, So he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and stood up to read.

That's what they did in... This is a tongue twister. …Synagogue Sabbath Services. That's what they did in those services. They invited visiting speakers, rabbis, and learned men to say something. So Jesus took advantage of that here. We see Paul taking advantage of that later when he goes around to Jewish synagogues in the Book of Acts.

Back to verse 17. And he was handed the Book of the Prophet Isaiah. And when he had opened the Book, he found the place where it was written, The spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. Then he closed the book and gave it back to the attendant and sat down, and the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on him. And he began to say to them… because that's what they did in synagogues …Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing. So they all bore witness to him, they and marveled at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said… this must be the fulfillment of prophecy. That's not what they said. They said, this must be the Christ, the Messiah. They didn't say that either. What did they say? …Is this not Joseph's son?

To them, to many of them, apparently, he couldn't escape the shadow of his alleged, if you will, earthly father. That's one of the first things, by the way, they asked me when I went back to substitute teach down there. Did you go to school here? My first question is that, and I got asked that question over and over and over again by students and faculty alike. No, I didn't go to school here. I went to school with the next district over. Did you go to school here? Because that means a lot to people, especially if you're in Southeast Ohio. Who is your father? Who is his father's father, who is his third uncle? They're really into those connections.

To Nazarenes, that's who Jesus was to them. Is this not Joseph's son? There's not much reverence in that, is there? Is this not Joseph's son? We know that Joseph, of course, was a carpenter. Is this not Joseph's son?

Let's keep going. He said to them in verse 23, You will surely say this proverb to me, physician, heal yourself. ' 'Whatever we have heard done in Capernaum,' (which was another town, of course, near Galilee), do you also hear in your country. Then he said, Assuredly, I say to you no prophet is accepted in his own country but I tell you, as he said in verse 25, Truly, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a great famine throughout all the land. But to none of them was Elijah sent, except to Zarephath, in the region of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.

So if you read that account, of course, in first Kings, Elijah was sent to Zarephath, in the region of Sidon. A region of Sidon meant that this woman was not Jewish. This one was not Jewish. Siden was a pagan city. Tyre and Siden were usually linked together, but Siden was not Israel. And that was going to deeply offend people who were listening to Jesus speak, but of course, it's the truth.

It keeps going and uses another example in verse 27, And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha, the prophet. (I always overemphasize that because Elisha and Elijah sound so much alike.) Elisha, the prophet, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman, the Syrian.

Once again, not a Jew, or a member of the nation of Israel. They didn't call them Jews yet. He was not an Israeli. They thought, again, the emphasis of place and family connections. The Jews Jesus Day, many people today think where you're from or who your family is makes you righteous or not.

Personally, I've heard far too many preachers stand up and say, my grandfather was a preacher, and my father was a preacher. I come from a long line of preachers. That's wonderful. Hopefully, you learned a great deal about the gospel from them, but it doesn't make you any more or less of a preacher necessarily having righteous or unrighteous ancestors. Both testaments are quite clear that each person will give account of himself or herself to God. Truly, righteous parents and such are a blessing, but you can be saved without them. As a matter of fact, they can't save you either.

See how they react. Let’s read a couple more verses here. Verse 28 says So all of those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, and rose up and thrust him out of the city, and they led him to the brow of the hill, which their city was built, that they might throw him down over the cliff. (That was an assemblage, all right, but it wasn't exactly a welcome parade, was it?) Then passing through the midst of them, he went his way.

What a sad commentary on the Nazarenes. Let's put a little asterisk right there, a little note. It's easy for us to play, as I like to say, 2000 years later, a quarterback and say, If I had been there, I wouldn't have insert the sin here. both testaments are clear about this.

Look at Ecclesiastes, for example. Humanity has not changed. People in Revelation see God do all sorts of wondrous and terrible things. What do they do? Many of them curse God even more after every single one. Each of us needs to answer for ourselves. Another song, but what are we going to do with Jesus for ourselves?

Look how they reacted to Him here in Matthew chapter 13, verse 53. It's easy for us to say, well, if I had been in the wilderness and I'd seen God coming down Mount Horeb or Sinai, I wouldn't have disobeyed. I wouldn't have been condemned to wander in the wilderness. If I'd been there and seen Jesus teach, I would have followed him. Hopefully that's true, but many people, of course, didn't. What happened when he was arrested? His disciples forsook him and fled, even though not hours before they said, even if we have to die with you, we will not deny you. We won't abandon you.

Look how Nazareth reacted to Matthew 13:53. I read the ESV. It says, And when Jesus had finished these parables, he went away from there. And coming to his hometown, Nazareth, he taught them in their synagogue. So they were astonished and said, Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works?

That's a good question. Hopefully we know the answer. The correct answer is, and that's what Jesus pointed out elsewhere, he got this wisdom, these mighty works, to prove that he was and he is who he claimed and who he claims to be, the Messiah, the Christ, the Son of the living God. That's how he could get this wisdom and do these wonderful things, these mighty deeds and miracles and works. Is that the conclusion Nazareth reached? Let’s to to verse 55, Is not this, here it is again.

Matthew 13:55, Is not this the Carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? Are not his brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas, And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things? And they took offense at him or they were offended at him. (What a sad commentary.) But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and his own household. And he did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

You say, I'm not going to have said that? If I just see a miracle, I'll believe. Jesus was not put on this Earth to do magic shows. And repeatedly, that was pointed out. The many people who wanted to see him do a miracle, they wouldn't have believed it anyway. Remember the rich man and Lazarus, when the rich man was told, even if someone raises the dead they wouldn't believe. Jesus was not put here on Earth to simply do magic tricks.

He was put here for a purpose, which the Psalm we sing talks about. He was here to teach, to preach, and ultimately to die. It's a sacrifice for our sins. It's not recorded anywhere in the Bible that Jesus went back to Nazareth after this, but of course, he went home. He went to heaven after God raised him from the dead.

What we became of Nazareth? With most of these towns this week, I'll try and let you know about these places today. You can visit the little town of Nazareth today, but only a pile of rubble remains of the original village. A new village grew up beside it and took the name. But if you know anything about the history of the Middle East, you know it's been fought over and fought over and fought over, wars after wars after wars. It's long gone.

Where we're from doesn't dictate whether we can be saved or not. Who our parents are, doesn’t dictate whether or not we can accept Christ and obey him. And God's plans are not human plans. We've talked about those three things.

What role do I have to play? What does that mean for me? You say, I can't sing. We've all heard this, probably. Does that mean you can't sing to the prettiness level that you think you should? I don't know what to pray for. Do any of us really? Paul makes it clear in Corinthians that no, we don't. I'm not good at public speaking. Are you good at conversation? I'm not good at this. I'm not good at that.

Think about that imagery of the Carpenter since we've talked about Joseph. Let's mention that. Dr. Tony Evans wrote a short piece about Jesus as the Master Carpenter. Some of you might have heard this.

It says, Imagine a convention, a meeting of carpenter's tools. Brother Hammer, who has been presiding over the meeting, is asked to leave because he's too noisy. He makes too much noise when he's pounding things. He replied angrily, if I leave, Mr. Screwdriver should come with me because he can't do the job without going around in circles. Mr. Screwdriver, who, of course, was tall and thin, spoke, I'm not the one who should leave. Look over here at Mr. Blockplane. He has no depth. He never gets past the surface. Of course, Brother Blockplane said, what about old sandpaper? He's so abrasive. He rubs everybody the wrong way. The bickering continues, but the carpenter from Nazareth comes in, puts on his apron and begins to build a pulpit from which to preach the gospel. He uses every single tool in turn. He uses all the tools in the shop.

What did Paul write? Let’s turn to 1 Corinthians Chapter 12. I'm from Southeast Ohio. I don't think anyone else here is. Do I have a part? Yes, I do. You're not from Southeast Ohio. I'll pick on people. You're from Streetsboro. Do you have a part to play? Yes, you do. You're from what didn't blow away in Chester. Do you have a part? Yes, you do. We each have a part, a role. We have a function in the church.

I’ll read this. It's a little clear in the English standard. 1 Corinthians 12:12 says, For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in one spirit we were all baptized into one body, Jews or Greeks, slaves or free, (in other words, no matter where we're from), and all were made to drink of one spirit, for the body does not consist of one member, but of many. If the foot should say, Because I'm not a hand, I do not belong to the body, that would not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear should say, Because I'm not an eye, I do not belong to the body. That would not make it any less a part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would be the sense of hearing. If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell? But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them as he chose. If all were a single member, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, yet one body.

We each have different talents. Trust me, if you ever come down to southeast Ohio, you do not want me to cook for you. I do not have a stove in my house. I had one in my apartment in Mentor. I was there five or six years, and never once did I turn it on. I am the king of the microwave chefs. I have ruined Kraft macaroni and cheese. I have absolutely zero talent as a cook. About as much talent as I have as a gardener or a carpenter. My middle school shop teacher said, he's hopeless. He had often, I think, come in and finish or improved the projects that I did. I didn't notice. Some people are quite good at working with their hand. I am not. We each have different functions.

Let's keep going with verse 21. The eye cannot say to the hand, 'I have no need of you, ' nor the head to the feet, 'I have no need of you. On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and on those parts of the body that we think less honorable, because we bestowed the greater honor. Our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it, that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. If one member suffers, all suffer together. If one member is honored, all rejoice together. Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. And God has appointed in the church, first Apostles, second prophets, third teachers, Then miracles, then gifts of healing, helping, administrating in various kinds of tongues. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? But earnestly desire the higher gifts, and I will show you a more excellent way.

We are different, but Jesus can use each one of us to his glory. Question is, because he won't force himself on you yet, someday every knee will bow, but are you letting Him use you to his glory? Satan, of course, delights when there's division. If there's division in the church, no work gets done. The world has more ammunition that it can and will use against the church.

We'll bring our thoughts to a close here, both from Ephesians and Ephesians 4. Ephesians 2 finishes off the thought we just started here.

It says, in verse 20. Having been built on the foundation of the Apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone in whom the whole building being joined together grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you are also being built together for a dwelling place of God and the spirit.

What are you going to do with Jesus? What will you do with Jesus? It doesn't matter where you're from. It doesn't matter who your parents were or weren't. You can and you must accept Jesus in order to be saved. It's the only way anyone has any hope of being saved. God's plans aren't man's plans. God has given us his plan and his word. His plan is for you to come in the way that he has told you to come.

We'll read this and wrap our thoughts up here. Ephesians 4:11, ESV, says, And he gave the Apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of faith and the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves, and carried out by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness and deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way, and to him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part working properly makes the body grow so it builds itself up in love.

I ask, have you reacted to Jesus of Nazareth? Do you see him as too many saw him then as just a teacher? A teacher who got some attention drawn to Himself, and that was it. You're sitting here tonight, you probably don't think of him that way, but have you truly accepted him as Lord by doing what is required.

He says, you need to do what he has said. He has said, you need to do what the people of Nazareth didn't. You need to believe that he is the Christ, the son of the living God. You need to be willing to confess your faith in him before men. You need to be willing to repent of your sins, turn away from your sins, those things that are not correct, and those things that are wicked and not according to God's word. You need to put him on in baptism, as he is commanded for you to do. Then you need to continue to live for him, making the best use of whatever talent you may have, whether it be cooking, speaking, singing, encouraging, or anything else. If you need to come to Jesus or you need to come back to him as we stand to sing the song.
