The Good Shepherd Going About Doing Good
*Acts 10:38 “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and
with power, who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed
of the devil, for God was with Him.”THE GOOD SHEPHERD GOING ABOUT DOING GOOD
(Luke 4:31-44) (Part 1)I. His Communication Of Scripture
*Fred Zaspel: “God has said that He would save via preaching. He,
in fact, has saved through preaching and He does save through
preaching. We needn’t doubt that He can and will. And we
needn’t invent new means to help Him do what He does so well all
by Himself. We are obliged to trust Him to work via the means
He has promised to bless.”
A. Anointing
B. Authority
*Mark 7:8-9 “For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the
tradition of men . . . . Full well ye reject the commandment of
God that ye may keep your own tradition.”
*Mark 7:13 “Making the Word of God of none effect through your
tradition . . . .”
*Kent Hughes: “Jesus preached God’s Word, not just about God’s
Word. His preaching the Law and the prophets was clear and
simple, as it has been with all true preachers of the Word.”
*John Piper: “The source of my authority in this pulpit is not
my wisdom, nor is it a private revelation granted to me beyond
the revelation of Scripture. My words have authority only
insofar as they are the repetition, unfolding and proper
application of the words of Scripture. I have authority only
when I stand under authority. And our corporate symbol of that
truth is the sound of your Bibles opening to the text. My deep
conviction about preaching is that a pastor must show the
people that what he is saying was already said or implied in the
Bible. If it cannot be shown, it has no special authority.”
