ELIJAH & MOSES HAD WRONG FOCUS

ELIJAH WAS ABOUT HIS MINISTRYMOSES WAS ABOUT HIS LEADERSHIP

LIFE IS NOT ALL ABOUT YOU

11 THOU ART WORTHY, O LORD, TO RECEIVE GLORY AND HONOUR AND POWER: FOR THOU HAST CREATED ALL THINGS,

AND FOR THY PLEASURE THEY ARE AND WERE CREATED. REV 4:11

WHEN YOU GOT IT RIGHT?

2 NOW WHEN JOHN HEARD IN PRISON ABOUT THE DEEDS OF THE CHRIST, HE SENT WORD BY HIS DISCIPLES 3 AND SAID TO HIM, “ARE YOU THE ONE WHO IS TO COME, OR SHALL

WE LOOK FOR ANOTHER?” 4 AND JESUS ANSWERED THEM, “GO AND TELL JOHN WHAT

YOU HEAR AND SEE: 5 THE BLIND RECEIVE THEIR SIGHT AND THE LAME WALK, LEPERS

ARE CLEANSED AND THE DEAF HEAR, AND THE DEAD ARE RAISED UP, AND THE POOR HAVE GOOD NEWS PREACHED TO THEM. 6 AND BLESSED IS THE ONE WHO IS NOT

OFFENDED BY ME.” MATT 11:2-6

11 TRULY, I SAY TO YOU, AMONG THOSE BORN OF WOMEN THERE HAS

ARISEN NO ONE GREATER THAN JOHN THE BAPTIST. MATT 11:11

WHO IS JOHN THE BAPTIST?

COMPARING JOHN THE BAPTIST

VS.MOSES & ELIJAH

WHY JESUS SAID THIS?

11 TRULY, I SAY TO YOU, AMONG THOSE BORN OF WOMEN THERE HAS ARISEN NO ONE GREATER THAN JOHN THE BAPTIST. MATT 11:11

JOHN THE BAPTIST HAD THE RIGHT FOCUS

NOW WHEN JOHN HEARD IN PRISON ABOUT THE DEEDS OF THE CHRIST, HE

SENT WORD BY HIS DISCIPLES 3 AND SAID TO HIM, “ARE YOU THE ONE WHO IS TO COME, OR SHALL WE LOOK FOR

ANOTHER?” MATT 11:2

THEM, “GO AND TELL JOHN WHAT YOU HEAR AND SEE: 5 THE BLIND RECEIVE THEIR SIGHT AND THE LAME WALK,

LEPERS ARE CLEANSED AND THE DEAF HEAR, AND THE DEAD ARE RAISED UP,

AND THE POOR HAVE GOOD NEWS PREACHED TO THEM. 6 AND BLESSED IS

THE ONE WHO IS NOT OFFENDED BY ME.” MATT 11:4-6

WHEN YOUR FOCUS IS RIGHT:OUR IDENTITY IS CLARIFIEDOUR PROBLEM DIMINISHED

OUR JOY IS COMPLETEOUR DESTINY IS SECURED

11 THOU ART WORTHY, O LORD, TO RECEIVE GLORY AND HONOUR AND POWER: FOR THOU HAST CREATED ALL THINGS,

AND FOR THY PLEASURE THEY ARE AND WERE CREATED. REV 4:11

ELIJAH WAS ABOUT HIS MINISTRYMOSES WAS ABOUT HIS LEADERSHIP

JOHN GOT IT RIGHT – HIS LIFE WAS ABOUT GOD

“THOUGH JOHN NEVER PERFORMED A MIRACULOUS SIGN, ALL THAT JOHN SAID

ABOUT THIS MAN WAS TRUE.” AND IN THAT PLACE MANY BELIEVED IN JESUS.

JOHN 10:41-42

24 FOR WHOEVER DESIRES TO SAVE HIS LIFE WILL LOSE IT, BUT WHOEVER LOSES HIS LIFE FOR MY SAKE WILL SAVE IT. LUKE 9:24

JOHN GOT IT RIGHT!LET’S GET IT RIGHT!
