1 A MAN CALLED SUCH

2 During the days of Joshua, the Gibeonites tried to deceive the Israelites, and got caught. So instead of killing them, Joshua had a job for the Gibeonites that had always been a woman’s duty.

3 Joshua 9:21, 27, “And the princes said unto them, Let them live; but let them be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation; as the princes had promised them… And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD, even unto this day, in the place which he should choose.”

4 Now let’s turn to another story were a man is caught carrying a water pot during the days of Christ.

5 Luke 22:7-13, “Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed. And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat. And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.

6 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.”

7 Jesus begins to tell his disciples to prepare a place for Him to have the last supper with them for the Passover. In verse eight, Jesus sends Peter and John. Now, in verse nine, notice the question mark; Where wilt thou? What's the address? Or, what's his name? How do we find this man to know where to have this last supper? Remember, Judas is there listening, taking in all the information to betray Christ. All he needs is the address, or the man’s name, then he would snitch, and there never would have been a Gethsemane.

8 But, our Lord did something different
But, our Lord did something different. He never told his name or address. But, says in verses ten – twelve, “look for a man doing woman's work, carrying water.” Jesus is saying, “I am not going to give you his name or address. But look for a man carrying a water pot.”

9 Who was this man? Matthew 26:17-18, “Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover? And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.”

10 I. SUCH IS A SINNER

11 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.”

12 Such shows us that sinners can change!
2 Cor. 3:18, “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.”

13 Such shows us that we all have the same background!
Rom. 3:10, “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one.” Rom. 3:23, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”

14 II. SUCH WAS SENTENCED

15 The woman taken in adultery: John 8:5, “Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?”

16 The death penalty came from Adam & Eve. We are all deserving of it
The death penalty came from Adam & Eve. We are all deserving of it. If Christ would not have died for the sins of mankind, the death sentence would have been carried out!

17 James 2:10, “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.”

18 III. SUCH GOT SAVED

19 Ephesians 2:8, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.” 1 Tim. 2:4, “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.”

20 Acts 2:47, “Praising God, and having favour with all the people
Acts 2:47, “Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.”

21 Salvation is Attainable
Phil. 3:16, “Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.”

22 IV. SUCH BECAME SPIRITUAL

23 John 4:23-24, “But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”

24 Romans 8:6, “For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.”
1 Pet. 2:5, “Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.”

25 V. SUCH IS SPECIAL

26 Psa. 34:18, “The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.” Psa. 71:3, “Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.”

27 I love the way the righteous are described: “Clean heart, broken heart, crushed (contrite) heart.”
It is the condition of the heart that makes us special.

28 After God, through Samuel, had anointed Saul as king: 1 Sam
After God, through Samuel, had anointed Saul as king: 1 Sam. 10:26, “Saul also went to his house at Gibeah; and the valiant men whose hearts God had touched went with him.”

29 Being a Christian is all about the heart. That is what makes us special. That is what separates us from the rest of the world.
