What Do these have in Common?

WHAT’S YOUR PRICE?

THE DEVIL THINKS YOU HAVE A PRICE JESUS (MATT. 4) JOB

A BETTER WAY TO LEARN: LIVE AND LEARN – COMES WITH A STEEP PRICE LEARN AND LIVE

CASE #1: ESAU Esau – Brother of Jacob, Son of Isaac and Rebekah – First born son “first fruits of his father’s strength” ( Deut. 21:17; Gen. 49:3). Birthright: double portion of the inheritance. Isaac was very rich… – The price Esau sold his birthright for was a single meal!!! Gen. 25:29-34

A couple of questions I want you to answer and hold on to. 1.First, what was Esau thinking? 2.Secondly, how did he feel about his choice later? Do you think He might regret it later?

CASE #2: GEHAZI Gehazi – Servant of Elisha – Involved in the story of Naaman’s healing from leprosy (2 Kings 5) Leprosy a terrible disease (“death sentence”) Elisha offered healing through dipping in the Jordan 7 times (2 Kings 5:10) – A cured Naaman wants to give gifts Elisha refuses (2 Kings 5:15-16) Gehazi takes advantage (2 Kings 5:20-27)

A couple of questions I want you to answer and hold on to. 1.First, what was Gehazi thinking? 2.Secondly, how did he feel about his choice later? Do you think He might regret it later?

Case #3: Judas Judas: – A disciple of Christ – His price: thrity pieces of silver – What he gives up: Jesus (Matt 26:14-16) His integrity His trust His life

A couple of questions I want you to answer and hold on to. 1.First, what was Judas thinking? 2.Secondly, how did he feel about his choice later? Do you think He might regret it later?

Making the application: What these stories have in common: – All three were only thinking about short-term pleasure. Christianity is a religion of the present! While we live IN the now we don’t live FOR the now Pleasure from sin is momentary (Heb. 11:5) Pain from doing what is right is momentary (2 Cor. 4:17)

Making the application: What these stories have in common: – All three were only thinking about short-term pleasure. – Secondly, they all failed to appreciate what they had with respect to God. Esau “despised his birthright” (Gen. 25:34) When we sell out our blessings for the temporary we show our “despise”

Making the application: What these stories have in common: – All three were only thinking about short-term pleasure. – Secondly, they all failed to appreciate what they had with respect to God. – Thirdly, they all regretted their decisions, Hebrews 12:16-17; 2 Kings 5:27; Matthew 27:1-5

What’s Your price? Relationships with people you like, that get in the way of your commitment to God? Fitting in with others, while remaining silent about the truth? Having a well-paying job that offers no time to do anything for the Lord?

REMEMBER THE PRICE JESUS PAID Jesus Paid the price: – For our forgiveness – For our redemption – For our salvation What it cost: – A cross – Some nails – A crown of thorns – His blood – His life
