An incredible story! (John 14:9-12), March 28, 2017

Today’s Podcast

Thanks for joining me today for “A Little Walk with God.” I’m your host Richard Agee.
Has anyone ever told you a story that just seemed too incredible to be true? We’ve all heard those before. Put yourself in Philip’s place as he listened to Jesus’ words at that last Passover supper.
Scripture
1. John 14:9-12
2. Jesus (to Philip): I have lived with you all this time, and you still don’t know who I am? If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father. How can you keep asking to see the Father? Don’t you believe Me when I say I abide in the Father and the Father dwells in Me? I’m not making this up as I go along. The Father has given Me these truths that I have been speaking to you, and He empowers all My actions. Accept these truths: I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me. If you have trouble believing based on My words, believe because of the things I have done. I tell you the truth: whoever believes in Me will be able to do what I have done, but they will do even greater things, because I will return to be with the Father.
Devotional
1. My father-in-law was an insurance claims manager for many years. Every once in awhile he would bring home a claim story that just sounded too incredible to be true.
  1. Working on the roof
  2. Slipped on the shingles
  3. Hit the ladder and tool box
  4. The tool box hit the chimney and ladder fell back against the chimney
  5. No ladder and fell off the roof
  6. Ladder broke the chimney
  7. Bricks fell on the man’s head
  8. Sounds like Wile E. Coyote
2. As Jesus closes His ministry and speaks to His disciples, must have sounded much like that story
  1. Going where you can’t go
  2. You’ll look for me but you won’t find me
  3. Soon you’ll see me again and then you won’t see me
  4. I’ll leave but I’ll be with you
  5. My Father and I are one
  6. If you’ve seen Me, you’ve seen My Father
3. How do you put all this together?
  1. Hide-and-seek?; you’ll look but you won’t find me; I’ll leave but come back
  2. Father and Son twins?
  3. This stuff sounds about as crazy as the story of the man fixing his roof
  4. But He says, “I’m not making this stuff up as I go along.”
  5. My father-in-law had to investigate the circumstances surrounding the man on the roof injuries and discovered they were true
  6. When we investigate Jesus’ words by looking into God’s word, we find His words are true.
4. We can believe all He tells us
  1. It was hard for the disciples on the other side of the resurrection
  2. We have the evidence of an empty tomb to tell us Jesus is who He said He is
  3. He and the Father are One
  4. He invites us to believe in Him and be empowered to live transformed lives as He makes us more like Him each day

Why do we argue about the simplest things? If we believe God’s word, then how can we miss the fact that Jesus is the only way to heaven?
Scripture
1. John 14:6-7
2. Jesus: I am the path, the truth, and the energy of life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. If you know Me, you know the Father. Rest assured now; you know Him and have seen Him.
Devotional
1. So I think I’ll take a vacation this summer. I’ve always enjoyed Disneyland in California
  1. Disneyworld is fun, too, but hot and a lot more walking than in Disneyland
  2. Travel plans
    1. Train from San Antonio to New York City
    2. Hop on a ship and sail to Iceland
    3. Catch a plane and fly to London, England
  3. Then enjoy Disneyland
  4. That should work, right?
  5. Doesn’t matter how you get there as long as I’m sincere about going, right?
2. Maybe a little far fetched so let’s try again
  1. I really will go to California this time, but I decide that I’m going to go by way of a commercial plane, but I don’t have the money to buy a ticket.
  2. Sneak onto the tarmac
  3. Climb into the wheel housing
  4. Fly non-stop in the wheel housing to California on a 757
  5. Only 3 hour flight from here
  6. At 35,000 feet: frozen, no oxygen, dead
3. If I want to see the original Disneyland, I can only go to one place and I must go through the entrance to that magic kingdom in Anaheim, California to see it.
  1. No other way to see it
  2. No matter how sincere
  3. No matter how else I might try
  4. I need a ticket and entrance through that front gate or I’ll be thrown out of the park as an intruder
4. If the Bible is true, then Jesus’ words are true also
  1. Every time someone tries to disprove something, they find themselves stuck with circular arguments or proofs of scripture on their hands
  2. If what God’s word says is true
  3. Then Jesus is the only way to the Father
  4. He is the entrance and the only entrance
  5. Any other way is unacceptable, all other means make you an intruder and like the parable of the master of the wedding feast, those not in the proper garments are thrown into the street
5. We can argue the point all we want
  1. We can argue the sun is not really the source of heat for the earth
  2. We can argue the earth is really flat instead of round
  3. We can argue God is not the creator of life
  4. We can argue Jesus is not the only way to heaven
  5. Just because we argue those things, does not mean we are right
6. God’s word is true, I want to be on the right side of the argument when He returns
7. Easy as believing in Him

Have you ever been lost in despair? We probably have all had those moments at one time or another. I found myself in one of those spots many years ago and it took God to pull me out.
Scripture
1. John 14:1-4
2. Jesus: Don’t get lost in despair; believe in God, and keep on believing in Me. My Father’s home is designed to accommodate all of you. If there were not room for everyone, I would have told you that. I am going to make arrangements for your arrival. I will be there to greet you personally and welcome you home, where we will be together. You know where I am going and how to get there.
Devotional
1. I’ve told the story before, and you can read the long version in my book “The Dream” which you can find on Amazon if you want to read it.
2. Desert Storm August 1990, Saddam Hussein crossed into Kuwait
  1. Medical planner for XVIII Airborne Corps
  2. Spent a couple of weeks planning the defense of Saudi Arabian – Kuwaiti border
  3. Started planning the offensive campaign in September
3. 24th Infantry Division wanted to move across the desert to the Euphrates River with blitzkrieg speed.
  1. Crush anything in their path and move on
  2. Planned to move 635 miles as fast as possible – 5 to 10 days
  3. Intelligence said Iraq would use chemical weapons since they had used them on their own people, the Kurds, in the NW to quell their revolt
  4. With chemical rounds available, estimated 3,000 casualties per day
4. Army had never moved that fast against that formidable a force according to our intelligence
  1. Soviet weapons systems
  2. Chemical munitions
  3. Dug in positions
  4. Distances would stretch across 600 miles of desert, too far for helicopters to fly without refueling
5. Medical support for that kind of warfare seemed impossible
  1. My responsibility to write the plan to save those 3,000 lives per day
  2. Casualty meant died or wounded, most would be wounded and need medical support
  3. How do you put the right medical support within reach of the soldiers on the front line when it takes five days to set up a hospital in the field?
  4. Platinum 10 minutes; Golden hour; Surgery in two hours
  5. Moving 600 miles in five days,
  6. no organic vehicles to carry all the equipment required to set up the hospitals, they are stationary once established
  7. Shared vehicles moved ammunition, water, food
6. I couldn’t figure it out
  1. No precedence in history
  2. No current doctrine to support that kind of move without a lot more assets than were available
  3. If the estimates were right, thousands would die
  4. Despair
7. October 12, 1990
  1. Awoke from a dream
  2. Maps of the battlefield showing all the medical unit movements
  3. Knew how to support the movement of the corps through their rapid movement
  4. Medical units did treat thousands of casualties, but not American
  5. Wounded Iraqi soldiers abandoned by their units as they retreated under the pressure of the Allied attack
  6. Desert Storm medical support changed Army doctrine in many areas, but especially in the medical support of active combat
8. Dream came from God, convinced of it
  1. Don’t get lost in despair, believe in God and keep on believing in Jesus. He comes through at just the right time…always.
  2. You can read the whole story in my book, “The Dream” available on Amazon.
  3. God truly is an amazing God.

Have you ever made a promise you really intended to keep, but them just crumbled under the enormity of the task? I have to admit, I have more times than I’d like to remember, actually. Peter did it, too.
Scripture
1. John 13:36-38
2. Simon Peter: Lord, where are You going?

Jesus: Peter, you cannot come with Me now, but later you will join Me.

Peter: Why can’t I go now? I’ll give my life for You!

Jesus: Will you really give your life for Me? I tell you the truth: you will deny Me three times before the rooster crows.

My grandson had the thrill of his life last week. This year he is finally tall enough to ride “The Rattler”, the big roller coaster at Fiesta Texas in San Antonio. He’s wanted to ride for a long time, but just wasn’t quite tall enough. His plight reminded me of today’s words from Jesus.
Scripture
1. John 13:31-35
2. Jesus: Now the Son of Man will be glorified as God is glorified in Him. If God’s glory is in Him, His glory is also in God. The moment of this astounding glory is imminent. My children, My time here is brief. You will be searching for Me; and as I told the Jews, “You cannot go where I am going.” So I give you a new command: Love each other deeply and fully. Remember the ways that I have loved you, and demonstrate your love for others in those same ways. Everyone will know you as My followers if you demonstrate your love to others.
Devotional
1. When you were a kid, do you remember those times when your mom or dad or big brother or sister left you behind? “Sorry, you can’t go with me, kid.
  1. Not this time.
  2. You’re not big enough.
  3. You’re not old enough.
  4. You’re not ready.”
  5. How did you feel?
2. I imagine that’s how the disciples felt when Jesus talked to them about going away.
  1. Closest friends.
  2. Went everywhere with Him
  3. Enjoyed His teachings, His miracles, His company
  4. Wanted to protect Him from the crowds and His enemies
  5. Wanted to be wherever He was
3. What did they feel
  1. Disappointment
  2. Rejection
  3. Abandonment
  4. Fear
  5. Anger
  6. Confusion
4. We look back and understand
  1. Know where He was going
  2. Know we can join Him one day
  3. Know how to get to the place He went
  4. Ask His forgiveness
  5. Accept Him as Lord
  6. Follow Him each day
5. We can’t go there yet, but one day it will be time and we can be with Him forever

How much did it hurt when your friend hurt you by saying or doing something that you didn’t expect. Imagine what it would feel like if they did it and you knew it was going to happen.
Scripture
1. John 13:21-27
2. Jesus was becoming visibly distressed.

Jesus: I tell you the truth: one of you will betray Me.

The disciples began to stare at one another, wondering who was the unfaithful disciple. One disciple in particular, who was loved by Jesus, reclined next to Him at the table. Peter motioned to the disciple at Jesus’ side.

Peter (to the beloved disciple): Find out who the betrayer is.

Beloved Disciple (leaning in to Jesus): Lord, who is it?

Jesus: I will dip a piece of bread in My cup and give it to the one who will betray Me.

He dipped one piece in the cup and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. After this occurred, Satan entered into Judas.

Jesus (to Judas): Make haste, and do what you are going to do.

Devotional
1. We’ve all been hurt by a friend at some time or other or we haven’t lived.
  1. It’s the way of relationships in a broken world
  2. Misinterpret actions or words
  3. See things from our broken past instead of God’s perfect lens even if Christian brothers and sisters
  4. Marred by the consequences of past sins and the brokenness of this world
2. Probably never expected the hurt or betrayal, though
  1. We expect our relationships to be good
  2. We expect encouragement and support from friends
  3. We expect our friends never to stab us in the back or give us up to our enemies
3. Now put yourself in Jesus’ place
  1. Betrayed by His friend and abandoned by the rest
  2. But knew about it ahead of time
  3. Inspired the prophets to write about it centuries before He came to earth
  4. Lived with the reality every day
  5. Had to eat this last meal with His betrayer knowing what would happen next
4. Jesus was becoming visibly distressed! No kidding!
  1. Had a human side
  2. We all need others to lean on
  3. They were about to desert Him and one would betray Him
  4. He knew it all and it was coming in just hours
  5. His physical, mental, and spiritual agony was about to begin
5. We cannot begin to understand the stress Jesus felt
  1. But we can thank Him for His sacrifice
  2. We can praise Him for what He did for us
  3. We can follow Him when He calls
  4. We can love Him because He loves us more than we can know

Have you ever been the victim of betrayal? Have you ever betrayed someone? There are always consequences, you know.
Scripture
1. John 13:12-20
2. Jesus: Do you understand what I have done to you? You call Me Teacher and Lord, and truly, that is who I am. So if your Lord and Teacher washes your feet, then you should wash one another’s feet. I am your example; keep doing what I do. I tell you the truth: a servant is not greater than the master. Those who are sent are not greater than the one who sends them. If you know these things, and if you put them into practice, you will find happiness. I am not speaking about all of you. I know whom I have chosen, but let the Hebrew Scripture be fulfilled that says, “The very same man who eats My bread with Me will stab Me in the back.” Assuredly, I tell you these truths before they happen so that when it all transpires, you will believe that I am. I tell you the truth: anyone who accepts the ones I send accepts Me. In turn, the ones who accept Me also accept the One who sent Me.
Devotional
1. It’s been a lot of years and I won’t mention any names, but a fellow officer in one of the units to which I was assigned was a good friend…I thought.
  1. We often ate lunch together.
  2. We shared techniques in leading our units that worked and those that didn’t work so well so we helped each other.
  3. Families spent time together after work during our leisure hours.
  4. Thought we were good friends
2. One day things changed
  1. Had an inspection and some things were missing from his unit
  2. Accountable, but consumable
  3. Used up in training, but had to account for their use and replace because of alert status
  4. His soldiers got lazy and didn’t do the proper paperwork to account for the consumables after one training event and so there was a shortage
  5. I was accused of stealing
  6. Took less than an hour to show the paper trail to prove no one in my unit took any of his consumables. All mine were accounted for and a trail for when and where each came from
3. Pain came from the betrayal
  1. We were friends
  2. He knew my character
  3. He knew I wouldn’t tolerate such behavior from anyone under my authority
  4. Still he accused me to try to cover his soldiers’ failure
  5. “The one who ate bread with me, stabbed me in the back.”
  6. My friend left the service very soon after that event
4. Nothing of what Jesus felt
  1. Judas sat as His feet continually
  2. Listened to His teaching
  3. Said he believed what the Master taught
  4. Said he believed Jesus to be the Son of God
  5. Would soon betray Him to the high priest and the Sanhedrin
  6. He would die because Judas decided to betray his friend
5. You just don’t know the consequences that will come as a result of betrayal
  1. My friend ended his career
  2. Judas hung himself
  3. Jesus died on a cross
  4. Be careful of betraying your friends

Topic Introduction with headline.
Scripture
1. John 13:7-10
2. Simon Peter (as Jesus approaches): Lord, are You going to wash my feet?

Jesus: Peter, you don’t realize what I am doing, but you will understand later.

Peter: You will not wash my feet, now or ever!

Jesus: If I don’t wash you, you will have nothing to do with Me.

Peter: Then wash me but don’t stop with my feet. Cleanse my hands and head as well.

Jesus: Listen, anyone who has bathed is clean all over except for the feet. But I tell you this, not all of you are clean.

Devotional
1. Remember the Ridex commercials?
  1. Father has everything ready for his daughter’s birthday party
    1. Cake
    2. Presents
    3. Surprise pony
    4. Princess castle
  2. Septic tank overflows and fills the yard where the party is supposed to take place
  3. Terrible job cleaning out an overflowing, broken septic tank
  4. Machinery to suck out intact systems, but when they’re broken…
2. We sometimes don’t really understand the full impact of what Jesus was doing that evening as He washed the disciples feet
  1. Ancient times
  2. Everyone walked
  3. Same pathways with camels, donkeys, goats, sheep, horses
  4. Have you looked at the street after a parade of horses?
  5. Imagine that scene multiplied by daily traffic with no street sweepers
  6. No underground sewage system either
  7. Chamber pots used during the night were often emptied out the window into the streets in the morning
3. Now think of those foot travelers, which was 80% of the travelers
  1. No socks
  2. No closed toed shoes
  3. Sandals with leather straps holding them in place
  4. Imagine what finds its way between the top of those sandals and the bottom of your feet
  5. Imagine what finds its way between your toes
4. The lowliest servant or the one deserving the most punishment that day got the duty of washing the guests’ feet
  1. None wanted that duty
  2. Washing feet meant scraping the animal and human waste off, them scrubbing them clean
  3. That’s what those large water pots were for that Jesus turned into wine in Cana, imagine that! I guess it was all organic
  4. What a job! But Jesus volunteered to show He was a servant to everyone even though He was King of kings and Lord of lords, Savior of humankind for all who would follow Him
5. Ever feel a little uppity because of what you do for the kingdom? Take a look at what Jesus did in that upper room that evening. He took on the worst task possible to show us how we should act toward those around us. Serve rather that expect to be served.

What happens when you ignore the boss? You might never see the boss in a large corporation, but that doesn’t mean you can ignore what he says. You job will be on the line if you do. So how does that relate to our spiritual life?
Scripture
1. John 12:44-50
2. Jesus (crying out before the people): Anyone who believes in Me is not placing his faith in Me, but in the One who sent Me here. If one sees Me, he sees the One who sent Me. I am here to bring light in this world, freeing everyone who believes in Me from the darkness that blinds him. If anyone listening to My teachings chooses to ignore them, so be it: I have come to liberate the world, not to judge it. However, those who reject Me and My teachings will be judged: in the last day, My words will be their judge because I am not speaking of My own volition and from My own authority. The Father who sent Me has commanded Me what to say and speak. I know His command is eternal life, so every word I utter originates in Him.
Devotional
1. As I’ve mentioned several times during my podcasts, I served in the Army for thirty years.
  1. Armed Forces are part of the Executive Branch of the government under the Constitution
  2. Keep the borders of our nation safe and prosecute conflicts directed by the President and approved by Congress
  3. President is the Commander-in-Chief, the boss
  4. Served under six: Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush
2. Met Rosalynn Carter and George W. Bush, but never met any of the other presidents or their wives before or after they were in office
  1. Why bring that up?
  2. All of those presidents who a lot of Executive Orders that applied to service members
  3. Many of those Executive Orders affected our behavior, what we could or could not do both in battle and in peacetime environments
  4. Ignoring or disobeying any of those orders could mean stiff administrative actions, discharge, hefty fines or imprisonment
  5. I had to obey all those orders yet I only saw one of those Commanders-in-Chief in person and that was during the Army’s response to Hurricane Katrina and then only long enough for President Bush to shake my hand and say, “Keep up the good work, Colonel Agee.” The same thing he said to several others crowded in that room with him that day.
3. We obey our bosses who we may never see
  1. Why is it so hard to obey the God who loves us so much He came to earth in the flesh to live with us?
  2. Why is it so hard to listen to what He says and understand His commands are for our good?
  3. Why can we not figure out that failing to obey God carries consequences far worse than failing to obey an earthly employer?
  4. Time to meditate on just Who we should listen to now isn’t it?

Have you ever been in absolute, total darkness. It’s hard to find those spots today, but when you do, they can be pretty scary.
Scripture
1. John 12:35-36
2. Jesus: Light is among you, but very soon it will flicker out. Walk as you have the light, and then the darkness will not surround you. Those who walk in darkness don’t know where they are going. While the light is with you, believe in the light; and you will be reborn as sons and daughters of the light.
Devotional

  3. Beautiful natural sculptures from millennia of stalactite and stalagmite formation
  4. Evolution of insects, fish and frogs without sight
  5. Every tour stops deep underground to demonstrate real darkness
  6. All lights extinguished for a few moments with no light anywhere
  7. Shocked by the total absence of light

  1. Light pollution from cities makes night training difficult for military
  2. Observatories find it more difficult to search the stars for the same reason
  3. Use to be able to point out many more constellations and clearly see the Milky Way
  4. Light floods our skies 24 hours a day because of the man-made devices we employ

  1. Can’t navigate
  2. Can’t avoid hidden danger
  3. Can’t distinguish friend or foe visually – sense we rely on the most
  4. Fear
4. Many live in spiritual darkness and don’t know how to escape it
  1. Swallowed in fear
  2. Know there is danger, but don’t know how to avoid it
  3. Sense the evil in the darkness but run headlong into it because there is no way to recognize the right path in the darkness
  4. Need light to show the way
5. Jesus says He is the light
  1. He lights our way
  2. He says when we believe in Him, His spirit will live in us and we become sons and daughters of the light, His light will shine in and through us to light the path before us
  3. Might not see the whole journey,
  4. Might only be the next step
  5. But will never be in darkness if Jesus is living in you
