The following message is by Pastor John Piper.
More information from Desiring God Ministries is available
at www.desiringgod.org This morning's scripture text
is from 2nd Corinthians chapter 3 verse 15
through chapter 4 verse 6 But to this
day, whenever Moses is read, a veil lies
over their heart.
But whenever a man turns to the Lord,
the veil is taken away.
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where
the Spirit of the Lord is, there is
liberty.
But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as
in a mirror the glory of God, are
being transformed into the same image from glory
to glory.
Just as from the Lord, the Spirit.
Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we
received mercy, we do not lose heart.
But we have renounced the things hidden because
of shame, not walking in craftiness or adulterating
the word of God, but by the manifestation
of truth, commending ourselves to every man's conscience
in the sight of God.
And even if our gospel is veiled, it
is veiled to those who are perishing, in
whose case the God of this world has
blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that they
might not see the light of the gospel
of the glory of Christ, who is the
image of God.
For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ
Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bondservants
for Jesus' sake.
For God, who said, light shall shine out
of darkness, is the one who has shown
in our hearts to give the light of
the knowledge of the glory of God in
the face of Christ.
So Lord, it's very plain, hardly needs any
exposition, that if anybody is going to see
Christ and savor Him, the veil must be
lifted, the satanic blinding must be overcome, the
blindness must be healed, and light, as in
the beginning, must shine in the dark human
heart.
And all of this is beyond us.
We are dead, we are blind, we are
complicitous with Satan's deceptions, and we hold the
veil down, and therefore we pray, we don't
just preach, we pray.
Oh God, lift the veil this morning.
Heal the blind eyes of the heart this
morning.
Speak words of creative power, let there be
light into dark hearts this morning.
And save to the uttermost.
Leave us not to ourselves or our own
designs, I pray.
Come Holy Spirit, magnify Jesus, because we pray
in His name, and on the basis of
His great and glorious work.
Amen.
Well, one more topical message before we return
to Romans 7.
Next week, Lord willing.
So just like last week, I'll give you
four reasons that lead me to this particular
message.
Number one, summer is coming with its golden
opportunities of outdoor personal evangelism.
You know, Minnesota is a strange place.
People live in igloos all winter long.
We don't call them igloos, but that's the
way it works.
You go nine months, you don't even see
your neighbor sometimes.
And then suddenly, you're cutting the grass, or
you're sweeping the lawn, or you're planting some
seed, or you're just sitting on a chair
outside, and there's this human being that you
haven't seen all these many months.
What are you going to do about that?
Or at work, you take walks.
Or we at church, we do things outside
on Wednesday nights.
Or we're going to have an outdoor Sunday
morning service in a few weeks.
And we do backyard Bible clubs.
And we do sports camps.
And summer in Minnesota is unique.
It's not unique in Southern California.
You can go barefoot to church all year
long there.
But here, it's unique.
It is God-ordained for seeing and showing
Jesus.
That's what summer's for.
Especially when Jews for Jesus come to this
city in August with the BYG, Behold Your
God campaign, and hit the streets.
That's number one.
Number two, I'll come back to these.
The Dalai Lama has been here and gone.
How did the mainline clergy, Protestant, Catholic, Jewish,
Muslim, respond to the leader of Tibetan Buddhism?
That's number two.
Number three, the appearance of this book this
week.
Seeing and savoring Jesus Christ.
How does it relate to those two things?
Dalai Lama, summer, Jews for Jesus.
Number four, 2 Corinthians 3, 17-4, 6,
and the glorious truth that by seeing the
Lord, we are being changed from one degree
of glory to the next.
This comes from the Lord who is the
Spirit, and we see Him by a sovereign,
creative work of God.
Let there be light.
So we move through the first three and
we wind up in the text.
So let's go back and take them one
at a time.
At Bethlehem, summer has always been seen as
a unique opportunity not to coast.
In fact, I have warned year after year
after year, don't think coasting in summertime spiritually.
It's deadly if you think that way.
As a church, we shouldn't think of coasting.
Yes, recreation.
Yes, vacations.
I assume that a fourth of you will
be gone most of the time during the
summer.
But woe to us if we coast spiritually.
Satan never coasts.
And he knows when you are.
Behold Your God is a worldwide campaign in
about 60 cities, chosen by Jews for Jesus
because they are the cities in which most
Jewish people live.
In other words, the 60 cities that have
the highest population of Jewish people in the
world are being targeted this summer for the
Jews for Jesus campaign around the world in
all the nations of the world where Jewish
people live.
They will come in August.
They've already come and done some training.
And they will do numerous things.
One of the things they will do is
put billboards up as well as make many,
many phone calls to people with Jewish surnames
offering this video, which I have watched now,
called Survivor Stories of the Holocaust.
The Holocaust is the biggest stumbling block between
Jewish people and Christian evangelism.
And this is an amazing video of survivors
of the Holocaust who came to Christ and
tell their stories of how it helped them.
We will have them meeting at this church.
I will give devotions in the morning for
these missionaries.
They will hit the streets.
Jews for Jesus is an in-your-face
kind of organization.
I like them a lot.
And they are incredibly controversial and infuriating in
this city.
When we brought them here to do their
training seminar, we received a letter of protest
and warning from nine downtown senior pastors.
And I'll read you the protest.
We feel that efforts by Christians to convert
Jews are counterproductive, injurious to Christian-Jewish relations,
and contrary to the true spirit of Christ.
In an earlier letter, some of those same
clergy wrote, unfortunately, arrogant is the right word
to describe any attempts at proselytizing.
In this case, the effort of Christians to
win over their Jewish brothers and sisters.
Thoughtful Christians will dissociate themselves from any such
effort.
The warning sounded like this in the letter
dated March 9 this year.
In the event of a citywide conversion campaign,
please know that we will respectfully, but forcefully,
make public our concerns in every way available
to us.
Obviously, dialogue before that time would be invaluable
in maintaining the peace of the church and
the strength of our shared mission.
So, I was on writing leave when this
letter came, and I went the next Sunday
to the worship service of the man who
drafted this letter to see how they do
church, since they don't believe Jesus is necessary
for salvation.
And then I wrote to him, and then
I met him for lunch and talked to
him.
And the next thing I did was go
to the most influential rabbi I knew and
met him for breakfast.
So you need to be able to say
as you deal with people about this, we're
in conversation.
They say, obviously dialogue would be helpful.
It's done, and it isn't over.
What's behind this?
Well, the Dalai Lama sheds light on what's
behind it.
So now we move to incentive two for
this message.
Rather than going into detail of what I
learned in those two conversations, breakfast and lunch,
I'll just go to the newspaper and what's
public.
The Dalai Lama comes.
The Dalai Lama is, quote, the spiritual leader
of six million Tibetans who believe him to
be the 14th earthly incarnation of the heavenly
deity of compassion and mercy, close quote.
That's from an interview with him in Mother
Jones Magazine.
Over at Northrop Auditorium, seven clergy, Catholic, Protestant,
Muslim, Jewish, met with him before a packed
house of thousands to hear him speak about
interfaith dialogue and world peace.
And then the respondents responded.
He said, quote, all religions have the same
potential to serve humanity.
All religions carry the same teaching, same goal,
same potential.
None of the clergy disagreed.
Since all religions are that similar and have
the same goal and the same potential, it
is therefore arrogant for any religion to mount
a campaign to convert people from other religions.
Specifically, it is arrogant and offensive to present
Jesus to the Jewish people with the hope
and the prayer that they would see him
as their Messiah and receive forgiveness of sins
and the hope of eternal life.
This was made very clear to me by
the rabbi.
This is not only arrogant, it is utterly
offensive to them.
God saves Jews without Jesus and God saves
Christians through Jesus.
There are multiple covenants for multiple religions.
This is what's behind this letter of protest
and warning.
As I've tried to think through what is
common to the Buddhism, the Judaism, and the
letters that we have received from liberal, I
don't think that's a term of opprobrium.
That's a term that would be embraced gladly
by the people I'm talking about.
Liberal Protestants and liberal Catholics.
What's common to this Buddhism, this Judaism, and
this liberal dimension of Christianity is the effort
to sever the fruit of love from the
root of truth.
That's the essence of it as I see
it.
The effort to sever the fruit of love
from the root of truth.
Or to put it another way, the effort
in the Twin Cities to build unity around
a social agenda of good works with no
necessary connection to Jesus as the only Savior
and Lord.
In other words, Christians are welcome at the
table of interfaith dialogue if they abandon the
historic Christian faith that there is salvation in
no one else for there is no other
name under heaven given among men by which
we must be saved.
Acts chapter 4 verse 12.
But if we believe that, we are not
welcome at the table of interfaith dialogue for
one very simple reason.
It's not dialogue anymore, it's proselytizing and that's
arrogant.
This is very clear, it's made very clear
to me, face to face, this far away.
Thus the Muslim Imam at Northrop Auditorium said,
Converting people to one religion or another should
not be our main objective.
Our goal should be to make the world
a better place by using our various religions.
This is pragmatism to the core.
He's as western as any easterner could possibly
be.
This is radical pragmatism.
Use our religions to improve the world so
that God will be pleased with us.
In other words, we should abandon our convictions
that there is a necessary connection between Jesus
Christ and the forgiveness of sins and the
transformation of sinners which can change the world.
Abandon that and you're welcome at the table.
Hold that, you're not welcome at the table.
That forgiveness, if it were necessary, and that
transformation are possible in all religions.
That's the message which amazingly, stunningly, I say
it with tears, is preached in ten churches
within a quarter of a mile of this
building.
Maybe a mile.
That's tragic, folks.
And I don't doubt they're going to get
this tape.
So brothers, it's tragic.
There is one way to God.
Jesus.
Not to tell people, is not humble, it's
cruel.
I said it in person.
Okay?
I said it face to face.
I'd love to tell you some of the
things that were said.
So number three.
The book.
There it is.
130 pages.
Imperfect.
Not the Bible.
Shouldn't be standing up there so bold probably.
What's that about?
What's that got to do with August?
With the Dalai Lama?
It's the first book I've ever written about
Jesus and it warms my heart.
I just like him.
I love Jesus.
It's my best effort in a short space
to describe Jesus.
It's designed in 13 chapters.
There are about seven pages.
You can read them in 15 minutes.
Out loud.
The ultimate aim of Jesus.
The deity of Jesus Christ.
The excellence of Jesus Christ.
The gladness of Jesus Christ.
The power of Jesus Christ.
The wisdom of Jesus Christ.
The desecration of Jesus Christ.
The anguish of Jesus Christ.
The saving sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
The mercies of Jesus Christ.
The severity of Jesus Christ.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ.
And the second coming of Jesus Christ.
What have I done here?
Why am I writing this?
I'm writing it because of a conviction I
have about how people get saved.
Apologetics and evangelism.
Here's my conviction.
Listen very carefully.
I spell this out in detail in the
preface so you can understand what the deep
underlying conviction behind the book is in how
people get saved.
Most people do not get saved by being
persuaded by a long chain of rational arguments
or historical arguments that the Bible is reliable
and therefore you can bank on it.
Most of you did not come to faith
that way.
And most of the people who will come
to faith through you will not come that
way.
Now I believe in that way.
Page 131, note 3 lists all the books
that do it that way.
And I lean on them.
I love them.
I love these books.
I'm so glad there are scholars called to
do that.
They provide structures for us.
But I'm a pastor now, last 21 years.
Used to be one of those types.
Wrote those kinds of things for a while.
Now I'm a pastor.
And I look out on about 22, 2300
people each Sunday and know they're not going
to come that way if they come at
all.
They don't have the time.
They don't have the resources.
Hardly anybody can come that way.
So either God has blown it or there's
another way to come.
What's that?
What's a way into sound, reasonable, solid footing
faith in Jesus Christ and his word as
the way to heaven?
Which will free you from this moment through
the summer to boldly present Jesus.
What is that?
And it's very simple.
We take the Bible as it stands and
we draw out of it the fullest portrait
of Jesus we can to share with people.
That's what this book is.
This is my attempt.
It is saturated with the Bible.
There's hardly five lines in this book without
a Bible verse in it.
And so I've taken the Bible and I've
just spread it out to try to say
there he is as he's presented in the
Bible.
There he is as he's presented in the
Bible.
Look at him.
Because I believe with all my heart God
almighty through the Holy Spirit, by the agency
of his word, through faithful portrayals of this
Jesus, authenticates his own glory in the hearts
of people and gives them an unshakable confidence
for which they will die that is rooted
not in private revelations, but in the revelation
of God in his word.
Therefore, I do not encourage people, well, read
the Bible, then close the Bible and ask
God to tell you whether it's true or
not.
Don't do that.
I would never say to an unbeliever, listen
to my testimony or read a few pages
in the Bible, then close the Bible and
ask for God to whisper in your ear
whether what you just read is true.
Why don't I do that?
Why wouldn't I want that to happen?
Answer.
Because then the whispering has final authority and
not the word.
Then the little vibration in your brain and
the chills in your palms and sweaty hands
and the fluttering eyelashes become authoritative, not the
portrait of Jesus Christ standing forth with self
-authenticating power and glory saying, I am who
I am and there is no other.
I will always instead direct you to the
portrait.
Back to the portrait.
I will not direct you to private revelations.
If I cannot point to a public revelation
in the Bible and to a picture that
is spelled out there, which itself authenticates itself,
I won't point you anywhere.
So how do you evangelize?
How are we going to evangelize in the
face of this kind of incredible controversy?
I tell you, this church is going to
be abused this summer.
Is that okay with you?
It is perfectly okay with me.
Because when you read the book of Acts,
he goes into a synagogue first and preaches
Christ as the Messiah.
A few believe.
Most don't.
Drive him out.
And he goes to the Gentiles.
He goes to another city, goes into a
synagogue, preaches Jesus as the Christ.
A few believe.
Most don't.
They drive him out.
He goes to the Gentiles.
It was a program to the Jew first
and also to the Greek.
It is still a program.
And until the veil is lifted, there will
be resistance.
And oh, how we pray.
Now, at this point, I'm going to give
you five steps that I would say to
the rabbi, to the liberal Protestant, to anybody.
Okay, you evangelical, Bible-thumping, fundamentalistic, narrow-minded,
intolerant Christians, how do you think you should
go about this?
Number one, renounce all violence.
True Christians, in spite of our deplorable Christian
history, we admit it, we own it, we
grieve it, we repent of it.
I have the Crusades and other things like
that in mind.
In spite of that, true Christians do not
take the sword to spread or defend their
faith.
We spread our faith with persuasion and suffering.
And if we don't, we don't have a
right to call ourselves Christians.
So we renounce all violence and all hate
crimes.
Is that clear?
Number two, we honor all human beings in
every religion as created in the image of
God.
That's why we persuade with words rather than
coercion with force.
Animals can be beat into submission.
Human beings cannot, dare not, should not be
coerced into any convictions.
We speak the way Paul does.
2 Corinthians 5.20, we beseech you.
Isn't that a sweet word?
It's an old-fashioned word.
Beseech, yearn, plead, exhort.
We beseech you on behalf of Jesus, be
reconciled to God.
That's all we do.
And then give reasons.
Give a portrait.
Say, here's the book.
My pastor wrote this book.
I don't know the Bible as well as
he does.
He has lots more time on his hands
than I do.
And so he writes things like this.
And I've read it.
I really like chapter 7.
Why don't you start there?
That's why I want you to get these.
We'll just make them as cheap as we
possibly can to make these useful for that.
Number three.
So first, we renounce all violence.
Second, we honor all humans as created in
God's image by persuading them and not coercing
them.
And thirdly, we will love our friends and
our enemies by longing and working for their
eternal good and being willing to suffer for
it, including having our motives questioned as arrogance
instead of love.
We will just accept that.
We will not become bitter.
We will not become bitter about that.
God helping us, we will not.
We will come again and again with love
and say, you may call it arrogance, I
love you.
I will tell you one sentence from one
of the conversations.
One of the men said to me, the
table's about this big, you know, we sit
across from each other.
He said, I have a place for you
and your faith in my heart.
Why don't you have a place for me
in your heart?
He said that to me.
And I leaned over like this, but 18
inches from his face.
And I said.
When the apostle Paul said.
My heart's desire.
For them.
And my prayer is that they might be
saved.
And when he said, would God that I
could be accursed and cut off from Christ
for my kinsmen, according to the flesh.
He had a huge place in his heart
for them.
Don't question the place in my heart for
you.
That's what I said.
Language is tricky, folks.
Language is really tricky.
Be careful.
The linguistic agenda is almost always skewed.
So as to give the moral high ground
to universalism.
So that as soon as the interfaith dialogue
word comes out of the mouth.
Any demurring from it sounds arrogant.
It is really tricky.
You must not let the agenda that is
set.
Determine what happens in your brain.
Go to the Bible and come at it
another way.
That's the way Jesus responded all the time.
He would be asked a question.
And the agenda for the question was such
and such that he couldn't respond to it
without losing.
He had to come at it another way.
Because the agenda set a losing agenda for
the dialogue partner.
Be as wise as serpents.
And as innocent as doves.
Number four.
So I've said, renounce all violence.
I've said, honor all human beings as created
in God's image.
I've said, love your friends and love your
enemies.
By working for and longing for their eternal
good.
We know that we're sinners.
Oh, how we should be broken.
But we do not believe it is arrogant
to offer salvation.
By presenting Jesus Christ crucified and risen from
the dead.
Number four.
Therefore, do everything in your power to present
Jesus to people.
Do everything in your power to portray as
full an account of Jesus and his work
as you can possibly portray.
Don't fret first about arguments for why it's
true.
You need to go home this afternoon, get
out on your knees and just say, God,
do I believe it's true or not?
And if I do and I'm willing to
die for it, and I can't remember in
a moment of conversation all the reasons that
I do, would you give me the courage
to speak the truth?
You just got to decide this.
Because if you halt between two opinions over
and over and over again for fear that
you can't think of all the reasons why
you do believe it's true, you know what?
You may not believe it's really true.
You got to decide.
Am I going to die for this and
live for this?
Or am I just playing games because there's
air conditioning there on Sunday morning?
Or nice music?
If I'm alone somewhere and I'm really threatened,
will I be a Christian?
Will I hold to Jesus no matter what
the cost?
And if you say yes, God's at work
in your life.
I promise you, God's at work in your
life.
Bringing forth from His Word a self-authenticating
glory that you have recognized that you simply
can't abandon Him.
You can't abandon Him.
And so this fourth point is be an
evangelist this summer.
Be an evangelist.
When I say present Jesus, I don't just
mean the name Jesus, not the word Jesus.
Buddhists, by Jesus.
Jews, by Jesus.
Liberal Protestants, by Jesus.
Liberal Catholics, by Jesus.
There's something about this Jesus.
Everybody wants Him on their side.
To get Him on their side, what they
do to Him is incredible.
And this is written to try to just
portray who He is.
So get it into the hands of thoughtful,
inquiring unbelievers.
Read it yourself to know Him and love
Him.
That's number four.
Number five is to pray.
After you present Him, pray.
And here I'll simply draw your attention to
the Olive Tree Project.
We pray because you can't make a Christian
out of anybody.
You can't save anybody.
You can't open the eyes of the blind.
You can't lift the veil.
You can't raise the dead.
You can portray Jesus.
And you can love people and you can
suffer for Jesus.
You can avoid bitterness.
You can come back again and again and
tell them, I'm for you, I love you,
I'm not against you.
You may say that's not what I am,
but I am, brother.
I'm in your face because I love you.
But you can't save Him.
Only God can save Him.
And that's why we pray.
This is called the Olive Tree Project.
This is put out by Jews for Jesus.
Olive tree taken from Romans 11.
Because there's the picture of the olive tree.
The root is Abraham and the Abrahamic covenant.
The natural branches are Jewish people.
Salvation is from the Jews.
You know the only reason any of you
is saved is because you're a Jew.
That is, you are a Johnny-come-lately
wild olive branch broken off of Gentile world
and grafted into the natural olive tree sucking
up all this wonderful benefit from the Abrahamic
covenant through Jesus, the seed of Abraham.
The only reason any of us is saved
is because Jewish people exist in the world.
Salvation is of the Jews.
To the Jew first and also to the
Greek.
And if they are unbelieving and they are
broken off branches, God can graft them in
again by faith in Jesus Christ so that
we are all in one tree together called
the olive tree.
All of us by the same means, faith.
So, they're calling us to pray this summer.
From now, please go to the table and
get these after the service.
And on the back, I put the name
of my friend here.
I wish I knew more Jewish people.
I don't.
But hundreds.
One of our young teenagers came up to
me after last Wednesday night's service.
I don't know how old she is, maybe
13, 14.
And she asked me to pray with her
about her Jewish friend she's trying to witness
to at school.
Yes!
Amen!
So, take that and put the name here.
And then, pray.
And you'll see how the instructions are given
here.
So, let's be praying all through the summer
for those that we love who are both
Jewish and non-Jewish.
Well, time is up.
And I should just point you to the
text that everything has been built on.
I hope it's come through even though I
haven't done a systematic exposition of 2 Corinthians
3.17. But let me draw your attention
to two things.
Verse 18 of chapter 3.
We all with unveiled face beholding the glory
of the Lord are being changed into His
likeness from one degree of glory to another.
This comes from the Lord.
So, there it shows that this text and
seeing Jesus and savoring Jesus is the key
to sanctification.
That is the key to being transformed.
We need to be a certain kind of
people here.
You can't just blather away with your mouth
and be a wretched, inconsistent, unkind, unloving person.
You must be transformed.
How do you get transformed?
Beholding the glory of the Lord we are
being changed.
But also, beholding the glory of the Lord
is the way you do personal evangelism.
Personal sanctification.
Personal evangelism.
How do you do it?
Look at verses 3 to 6 of chapter
4.
2 Corinthians.
Even if our gospel is veiled, it is
veiled to those who are perishing.
In their case the God of this world
has blinded the minds of unbelievers to keep
them from seeing the light of the gospel
of the glory of Christ who is the
likeness of God.
So, what do we do?
Satan is conspired.
Their own unbelief is conspired.
And they are blind.
So we say, oh, they're blind.
Give them up to darkness.
Let's go home or find a more fruitful
place to minister.
No!
You pray.
For what?
For verse 6 to happen.
It's a triumphant verse.
If verse 6 were not true, if verse
6 hadn't happened, nobody in this room would
be a Christian.
Let's read it.
It is the God who said, let light
shine out of darkness.
Now that's a reference back to Genesis 1
where he said, let there be light.
Let the God who said, let light shine
out of darkness.
It is the God who said that.
Now, a description of what happened in your
heart when you got saved.
Who has shown in our hearts to give
the light of the knowledge of the glory
of God in the face of Christ.
I wrote this book to describe the face
of Jesus.
To give as clear a portrait of Jesus
as words can give in my limited ability.
This text says that if people are going
to see the glory of God in the
face of Jesus, God has to do that.
But you know what?
He only does it when Christians are speaking
the portrait.
Or offering the portrait to be read.
Either with that book or better, maybe, with
this book.
The Holy Spirit saves nobody apart from a
verbal portrait of Jesus.
Indirectly or directly from the Bible.
There's where the authority rests.
Jesus is the ultimate authority.
He has inspired a word.
When that word is faithfully rendered in other
words, the Holy Spirit who loves the word
he inspired and loves to exalt the Jesus
of the word will work in the heart
to illumine and lift the veil and give
the light.
And they will come.
They will recognize the voice of the shepherd.
So, it's so plain what we're to do.
Let's not take the world upon our shoulders.
Let's take the gospel upon our shoulders.
And let us tell of Jesus.
Let us speak of Jesus.
All summer long.
Tell of Jesus.
I love to tell the story.
The story of his glory.
All summer long.
And God will do the work.
Don't hate anybody.
Don't misuse or coerce anybody.
Just tell the story.
Just one concluding exhortation.
Pray that God's hand would be upon this
book.
Bethlehem is a teeny-weeny little expression of
the kingdom of God.
There are people all over the world who
have seen the portrait clearer than I have
who are telling it in their own words.
This book will be out there in other
places.
Just breathe on this summer.
All summer long with your prayers.
And open your mouths.
God bless you.
You're dismissed.
