mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? |

|
8:5 You made him a little lower
than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. |

|
8:6 You made him ruler over the
works of your hands; you put everything under his feet: |

Any Last Words? |
||
|
vLet’s say you are going oversea for a couple of year (new job), what would
you say to your family? Ø To your son or daughter? Ø Or to your siblings? vYour child is going off to college in the fall! What would you say to him/her? Ø Good luck, study hard and be sure to graduate in 4 years? Don’t
waste my money! Ø Make sure you eat well, sleep well, and take care of yourself? Ø Or just wave good bye without saying anything? vOr if you are about to be called home by the Lord, you gather your wife/husband, your children, maybe even your
friends! Ø What would you say to them? Will it be meaningful? Ø Will your family and friends remember your words of wisdom? Ø Or will they remember that it was too long winded or that it was
too confusing? vA famous president gave his famous
farewell address in his hometown of Springfield, Illinois
on Feb 11, 1861 This was right before he left for Washington DC to fulfill
his duty as the elected president. Ø Who
was this president? Ø One of the most
important ingredients is Lincoln’s reference to his faith and what God
almighty can do! An ingredient that is certainly missing in most speeches
today. vIf you take hold of the opportunity, and if you can
effectively convey your words of wisdom to your audience; your children,
spouse, and friends. Ø They will forever take it to heart. vToday we will examine 7 famous Bible characters and their last
parting words.
Ø These are their words of wisdom accumulated from their walk in
faith with God. vThere are 2 areas of applications today. 1.
That we learn from
their wisdom and take to heart what we must do in our Christian life. 2.
That we will learn 7 important ingredients to use,
whenever you need to convey words of wisdom to your spouse, your children,
even your brothers and sisters in Christ. |
||
|
I. Remind
Them |
||
|
約瑟–創世紀50章24-25節 (Joseph – Genesis 50:24-25) |
||
|
50:24-25 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely
visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware
to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will
surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence. |
50:24-25 約瑟對他弟兄們說、我要死了、但 神必定看顧你們、領你們從這地上去、到他起誓所應許給亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各之地。
約瑟叫以色列的子孫起誓、說、 神必定看顧你們、你們要把我的骸骨從這裡搬上去。 |
|
|
vJoseph
reminded them of God’s promise,
the land to which God had given until their Fathers.
He reminded them that God will “surely” visit them and bring them out of the land of Egypt! Ø That
God will keep His promise and that God will not forsake them
and leave them in Egypt. vJoseph reminded them of his personal
faith in God! Ø So
strong was his faith that God will fulfill his promise, he commanded
the children of Israel to carry his bones out of Egypt and to be
bury in the promise land! This is faith in
action! Ø Faith
is trusting God
that He will perform the things he said be it in your life time or
not! vJoeseph reminder that God is with
them, to wait patiently for God’s time, to trust in the Lord! vDear friends, we must remind
ourselves each day that God will keep his promises to us and we to keep our faith in Him. Ø No
matter what difficulties in life we face, no matter what battles
await for us at the end of our journey on earth that God is with us
and will not forsake us. Ø Know
God’s promises;
know that He will keep them. vDear friends in your words of wisdom
to your …. always
“Remind them of their faith in God”. Ø Remind
them that they must live by faith! For without faith it is
impossible to please God Ø Remind
them of God’s promises that God will keep each and every one. Ø Remind
them of God’s wondrous work that he had done in your life as well as
in theirs! Ø Remind
them to wait on the Lord! |
||
|
II. Challenge
Them |
||
|
約書亞記 24章14-15節 (Joshua - 24:14-15) |
||
|
24:14-15 Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth:
and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the
flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD. And if it seem evil unto you to serve
the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your
fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the
Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve
the LORD. |
24:14-15 現在你們要敬畏耶和華、誠心實意地事奉他．將你們列祖在大河那邊和在埃及所事奉的神除掉、去事奉耶和華． 若是你們以事奉耶和華為不好、今日就可以選擇所要事奉的、是你們列祖在大河那邊所事奉的神呢、是你們所住這地的亞摩利人的神呢。至於我、和我家、我們必定事奉耶和華。 |
|
|
vJoshua
spent approximately 80 years leading his people; including as an assistant to
Moses. Ø If
there is one thing that he understands and that is the disposition
of the people! Ø That
they are as the Lord tells us, a stiff necked, stubborn people. Ø A
rebellious people
whose hearts always wander away from the Lord. §
This sounds familiar? For we are
very much so a like! vJoshua issued a
challenge to the people, to make a choice
between serving God or the false gods. Ø Serve
in this sense, means who is your Master in your life? Ø You cannot put one foot in one boat, and your 2nd
foot in another! They will pull apart! Ø Joshua
himself is not afraid
to let people know where his conviction lies. vDear friends, let us
challenge ourselves and make a choice to serve God. Ø Take the opportunity while we have the strength and might to
serve God, while we have the desire and love to serve God; to
following after his truth! § ILLU: - A brother in Christ
once said to me - “after I made my millions, I will give my life to God”. Ø Give him the best of your youth and strength, not when you are old
and frail. Serve God now, and serve Him
faithfully! vDear friends, in your
words of wisdom to your … “Challenge them to serve God”, not the world. Ø That it is never “evil” as Joshua said to serve God! Ø That is to say, it is always good! Because our service for God
is never in vain. |
||
|
III. Charge
(Instruct) Them |
||
|
大衛–列王記上2章1-3節 (David - 1King 2:1-3) |
||
|
2:1-3 Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged
Solomon his son, saying, I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong
therefore, and show thyself a man; And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep
his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies,
as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that
thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself: |
2:1-3 大衛的死期臨近了、就囑咐他兒子所羅門說、 我現在要走世人必走的路、所以你當剛強作大丈夫、 遵守耶和華你 神所吩咐的、照著摩西律法上所寫的行主的道、謹守他的律例、誡命、典章、法度、這樣、你無論作甚麼事、不拘往何處去、盡都亨通。 |
|
|
v
David before he dies, charged Solomon to keep God’s commandment and to walk
in His ways! Ø So
that Solomon and his kingdom will prosper whatever he does wherever he
goes! So that the line of David will be not broken. Ø That
Solomon is to watch his heart
carefully! Ø He
is to walk before God with all his heart and with all his soul! vDavid’s prayer in Psalm 86:11 - Teach
me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear
thy name. Ø Because our heart often times is split across many
commitments and desires. Ø That is why David ask God here to unite his heart, so that all of his
heart can be used to focus in walking in God’s truth! Ø Remember, God looks at our hearts! vDear friends let us keep David’s
charge, to walk in God’s truth, to keep his commandments with all of our
hearts. Ø So
that we will be prosperous in whatever we do, and wherever we go! vDear friends, in your words of
wisdom to your …
“Charge them to walk in God ways”. Ø To
love God and Keep His commandment with all their hearts as our Lord
Jesus Christ charged us! Ø To
guard their heart!
Solomon says in Proverbs “Keep thy
heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” § ILLU: I charged my children before they go to college. |
||
|
IV. Warn
Them |
||
|
所羅門–傳道書 12章13-14節 (Solomon - Ecclesiastes 12:13-14) |
||
|
12:13-14 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep
his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring
every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or
whether it be evil. |
12:13-14 這些事都已聽見了．總意就是敬畏 神、謹守他的誡命、這是人所當盡的本分。 因為人所作的事、連一切隱藏的事、無論是善是惡、 神都必審問。 |
|
|
vSolomon’s spiritual life was an up
and down one! At his golden years he wrote Eccl.
and imparted to us his wisdom in all that he had experienced with and
without God in his life. vHe warned us that there are several
important things that are important and matters in life!
In many ways, similar to his father David’s last words. Ø Solomon
urged us to fear God and to keep his commandments. These two goes hand
in hand. Ø If
you fear God you will naturally keep His commandments, Ø Iif
you do not fear God, the inclination is that you will take His
commandments lightly, and will likely to keep His commandment less
and at best will be inconsistent § ILLU:
A child will keep the parent’s word if he/she fears them. vSolomon warns
that each person and all that he/she
had done in life will be judged by our Lord. vDear friends, life is short…
I remember that it was only yesterday that I was in my teens or twenty
something years! In a blink of an eye, here I am! Ø How have we spent our times? What have we done for the Lord?
Ø What will our Lord say to us when we stand before him in judgment? Ø Let us heed Solomon’s warning. To use our time wisely for the glory of God! vDear friends, in your words of
wisdom to your … “Warn them
of God’s judgment”,
for we all have to give an
account one day to our Lord. Ø Instruct
them to fear God and keep His commandments
because § The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. § The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. |
||
|
V. Exhort
Them |
||
|
保羅–提摩太後書4章6-8節 (Paul - II Tim 4:6-8) |
||
|
4:6-8 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at
hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the
faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the
Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but
unto all them also that love his appearing. |
4:6-8 我現在被澆奠、我離世的時候到了。 美好的仗我已經打過了．當跑的路我已經跑盡了．所信的道我已經守住了． 從此以後、有公義的冠冕為我存留、就是按著公義審判的主到了那日要賜給我的．不但賜給我、也賜給凡愛慕他顯現的人。 |
|
|
vPaul in this last letter exhorted Timothy; that is to spur, to push, to encourage him to
persevere in his Christian life and the responsibilities that were entrusted to him. Ø To keep up the faith, to finish his race and not give
up. Ø Paul was an example that Timothy is to follow; He didn’t give up, he didn’t lose
faith,
he didn’t leave any of the work that the Lord entrusted unto
him unfinished. Ø And now he’s got something wonderful to look forward to,
the Lord Jesus, and the rewards that He will be handing out to him. vDear friends, yes the
responsibilities that the Lord gave us may not be easy! Ø Living the Christian life can be very challenging
especially in today’s society. Ø The trials and difficulties at times are almost impossible
to bear and to go through. Ø There are times when we don’t understand the answer to our
prayer that God gives. Ø But we must keep up our faith, keep our eyes on the
Lord Jesus and finish our race. vDear friends, in your
words of wisdom to your … “Exhort them to finish their Christian race”. Ø To be strong in their faith, to not give up. Ø To look forward to seeing our Lord Jesus at the finish line.
Ø To look forward to him handing out the prize, the crown
of righteousness to us. |
||
|
VI. Prepare
Them |
||
|
啟示錄22章20節 (Revelation 22:20) |
||
|
22:20 - He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly.
Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. |
22:20 證明這事的說、是了．我必快來。阿們。主耶穌阿、我願你來。 |
|
|
vThese were the Apostle John’s last words given to him by our
Lord Jesus on the Island of Patmos. Ø After the
revelation, John closes with his last words to us “Even so, come Lord Jesus”. Ø John expressed his desire and eagerness to
see the Lord return again. vDear friends, why does
Pastor Moses always talk about the Lord’s coming back soon?
Is it because he loves prophecy? Or signs of end times? Yes... Ø But I think it is because, like John, Pastor Moses looks
forward to seeing the Lord and His heavenly kingdom. Ø Do we look forward to His 2nd coming? And are we prepared
if He comes back for us today?
II Peter 3:10 - “But the day of
the Lord will come as a thief in the night”. Ø Or
will we say “not yet, I have not fulfilled my goals and
desires yet.” Ø Remember, our Lord Jesus himself said “Surely I come quickly”. vDear frields, in your words of
wisdom to your …
“Prepare them for the 2nd coming of our
Lord”. Ø Instill
in them that we are but strangers on this earth, and that our home
is Jesus’s Heavenly Kingdom. Ø Prepare
them with a heavenly perspective instead of an earthly perspective!
|
||
|
VII. Bless
Them |
||
|
摩西–申命記33章1節 (Moses - Deuteronomy 33:1) |
||
|
33:1 And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the
children of Israel before his death. |
33:1 以下是神人摩西、在未死之先、為以色列人所祝的福。 |
|
|
vMoses
before his death; before his trip up to the mountain of Nebo to view the promise land,
blessed the 12 tribes of Israel. As Jacob did for his
children. Ø When
someone blesses you;
it is a good wish, invoking of God’s blessing upon you. §
Example: A toast in a wedding or
parents giving them their blessing in marriage. vDear friends, if we harken to the
words of wisdom
that all these great men of God gave, we
would live an abundant and blessed lives. Ø God
will so greatly bless us that our cup will overflow; no amount of containers will hold
His blessings for us. Ø Blessed
is the man that walks in righteousness and fears God. Ø Blessed
is the man that delights in God’s word. Ø Blessed
is the man that trusts in God! vDear friends, in your final words of
wisdom to your …
“Bless them! Bless them with the blessing of God”. Ø This
is something that we seldom do! Am I right? Ø How
many parents here bless your children? Most of the time we’ll say, take
care, be good, etc. But we rarely say a blessing to them! Not only it is a
wonderful thing to do; but it also serves as
a reminder for them of the blessings
of God if
they follow Him all the days of
their lives. |

Conclusion |

|
vParting speeches are only good if you are prepared to give them and have to
opportunity to do so! vBut what if you don’t
have a chance, an opportunity? Ø ILLU: Livingston and a
Towaco Brother that passed away suddenly. vSo dear friends, why
wait, why not now? Ø We are supposed to
build one another up, to exhort one
another all the more as the day draw closer. vParents, why wait? Ø Why not take
advantage of every opportunity to teach your children now? Ø When you walk, when
you drive, or when you are
going somewhere, take the opportunity to instill upon them God’s word. vYou never know when
you may not have that chance again. May we take heed the words of wisdom that
we learn from these great men of God so that we will walk a life that
is pleasing before the Lord. May the Lord help us: to Remind, Challenge,
Charge, Warn, Exhort, Prepare, and to Bless our .. And may the Lord give all of us strength
to do this each and every day. |
