Series: 30 A.D. The Jesus Story
Dr. Larry Osborne
Luke 7:18-35
IT MUST HAVE MESSED WITH HIS MIND - BIG TIME
Luke 7:18-35/ Luke 1:39-41 and 57-80/ Matthew 13:13-17/ John 1:29-33 and 43-45
1. On the one hand -
John the Baptist was absolutely certain Jesus was the Messiah
2. On the other hand -
Nothing about Jesus seemed very messiah-like
WHAT JOHN DIDN'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND

1. We all have a unique assignment
Romans 12:3-8/ 1 Corinthians 7:17-20/ Philippians 2:13/

2. Different assignments call for different strategies
Luke 7:33-35/ 1 Corinthians 9:19-23/ Luke 1:11-17 vs Luke 5:29-31
3. If we're going to judge - judge people and ministries by their fruit - not by our personal preferences and assignment
Luke 7:33-35/ Luke 6:43-45/ Romans 14:1-23/ 1 Corinthians 12:14-22/ 1 John 2:3-5

Isaiah 1:11-20/ Mark 7:5-23/ John 1:11-13 and Romans 8:14-16/ John 14:15
