Sermon Series:
Five Words You Must Understand
1 Corinthians 14:19
Yet in the church I had rather speak
five words with
my understanding,
that by my voice I might teach others also,
than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.
Part
Thirty: John 1:41
“We
have found the Messias.”
[Note: There was no
audio recording of the sermon.]
Introduction:
This sermon series was initiated on 20 MAR 2011. Five
sermons in this series were from the book of Revelation. These were preached
during the period from MAY 2012 to APR 2013. The last sermon of the 34 already
preached in this series — other than the 5 from Revelation — was Part 29, “I am
crucified with Christ” (Gal. 2:20), which was preached on 27 MAR 2016.
On the old Daniels
and Webster program on ROCK107 we often heard from one Walter Nepasky. He would begin his commentary with either,
“I'm Walter Nepasky and today I wanna talk about three
things.”, or “Hi. My name is Walter Nepasky. How you doin? Today
I want to talk to you about tree tings.”
What if we had a modern Christian radio station —The Rock of Ages 316 — with a program
that began, “Hi, I’m Paul of Tarsus, and today I want to talk about five
words.”
The Apostle Paul wrote: Yet in the church I had rather
speak five words with my understanding,
that by my voice I might teach others also,
than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.[1]
Paul follows up his introduction on The Rock of Ages 316 with his personal example — an extreme
preference framed as a mathematical proportion: 5 versus 10,000. This is Paul’s
“druthers”! This is when 5 is better than
10,000!
If Paul were here, and you could pin him down to a
literal selection of five words, what do you think he would choose? “Gimme Five Paul!”
Before we get to a selected list of five word Scripture
passages that might be in Paul’s “in box” we should also consider how Charles
Haddon Spurgeon went even beyond Paul, perhaps due to “spiritual inflation” in
the intervening centuries!
“But the seed, though very small, was a living
thing. There is a great difference between a mustard seed and a piece of
wax of the same size. Life slumbers in that seed. What life is we cannot tell.
Even if you take a microscope you cannot spy it out. It is a mystery, but it is
essential to a seed. The Gospel has a something in it not readily discoverable
by the philosophical inquirer, if, indeed, he can perceive it at all. Take a
maxim of Socrates or of Plato, and inquire whether a nation or a tribe has ever
been transformed by it from barbarism to culture. A maxim of a philosopher may
have measurably influenced a person in some right direction, but who has ever
heard of a someone's whole character being transformed by any observation of
Confucius or Socrates? I confess I never have. Human teachings are barren. But
within the Gospel, with all its triteness and simplicity, there is a divine
life and that life makes all the difference. The human can never rival the
divine, for it lacks the life-fire. It is better to preach five words of God's Word than five million words
of human wisdom. Human words may seem to be the wiser and the more
attractive, but there is no heavenly life in them. Within God's Word, however
simple it may be, there dwells an omnipotence like that of God from whose lips
it came.”
— Charles H. Spurgeon, “The Mustard Seed: A Sermon for
the Sabbath-School Teacher” (Lk. 13:18-19),
Sermon No. 2110, delivered 20 OCT 1889, at the Metropolitan
Tabernacle, Newington, U.K.; in Metropolitan
Tabernacle Pulpit, Vol. 35 (1889), pp. 565ff.; in Charles H. Spurgeon, The Parables
of Our Lord (Grand Rapids: Baker Book
House, 2003), pg. 707; and on The

This “spiritual inflation” continued from Spurgeon’s day
into our own century as illustrated in the following from Dr. Steven J. Lawson.
“God is the one Source and
sole Author of truth. Sin is whatever God says it is. Judgment is whatever God
says it is. Salvation is what God says it is. Heaven and hell are what God says
they are. It matters not what man says but simply what God says. One word of what God says is
worth more than ten thousand libraries of what man says. “Let God be
found true, though every man be found a liar” (Romans 3:4).” Steven J. Lawson,
in sermon titled, “What is Truth?”

Now for some possibilities
from Paul’s “in box.”
Note: The five word
statements from Scripture included in this series may not actually be five word
statements in either the Hebrew or Greek originals, nor are they necessarily
complete sentences or verses in English language translations from the Hebrew
and Greek, including the King James Version which is the source translation for
the statements. Nevertheless, they were selected for the fundamental truths and
span of doctrine that they present. This
list of 38 examples is not intended to be comprehensive, and may easily be
expanded or consolidated.
The 38 passages of Scripture included in this series list
thus far are categorized under the following four headings:
1. The Person of Christ — The Redeemer
2. The Work of Christ (as Prophet, Priest and King) —
Redemption Accomplished
3. The Salvation of Christ — Redemption Applied
4. The Return of Christ — Redemption Revealed
The final text in this series under the first heading is
our focus today. It has to do with the discovery of the person of Christ the
Redeemer.
Here are “Five Words” that
you need to understand!
“We have found the Messias.” (Jn. 1:41),[2]
under heading 1. The Person of Christ — The Redeemer, Five Word Sermon
Series, Part 30 (of 38).
Transition:
Did you ever object to someone
saying that they found Jesus, or to a bumper sticker to that effect? Do you
remember why you may have done so? What would you find inappropriate about a
claim to have found Christ?

Outline:
I. Who found who? — The Finders
II. Who was found? How was He
identified? — The Found One
III. How did Andrew know? What
convinced him? — The Finding
I. Who found who? — The Finders
We have found…
Who is the “we”?
The immediate context:
John 1:35-41 — 35 Again the next day after John stood,
and two of his disciples; 36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he
saith, Behold the Lamb of God! 37 And the two disciples heard him
speak, and they followed Jesus. 38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them
following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which
is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou? 39 He
saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with
him that day: for it was about the tenth hour. 40 One of the two
which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. 41
He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him…”
What Andrew did not tell his brother…
If you are old enough perhaps you remember Campus Crusade’s (since renamed to CRU) million dollar “I Found It!” campaign circa 1976-1980 with
bumper stickers, billboards, pins, etc. ?[3]
Do you also remember some of the objections to the slogan at the
center of this international advertising campaign?
Some cultist counter campaigned with “We never lost it!”
Some mockers sloganeered with “I smoked it!”, etc.
Even though it did serve as a conversation starter this ad slogan
does raise some Biblical and theological
questions.
1) What is “it”? How about “I Found
Him!” Or, better yet, “He found me!”
2) Is this the “Lost and Found”
where the lost get themselves “unlost” by finding “it”?
3) Was Adam looking for God in the
Garden of Eden after disobeying Him, or was he doing the opposite? (Gen. 3)
4) Didn’t He say that He came to
seek and to save that which was lost?
Lk. 19:10 — For the Son of man is
come to seek and to save that which was lost.
5) Is this like lost sheep looking
for and finding the Shepherd, instead of the other way around?
Luke 15:1-7; cp. also the lost
coin, Lk. 15:8-10; and the lost son, Lk. 15:11-32.
II. Who was found? How was He identified? — The Found One
the Messias
What is with the spelling “Messias”?
What is this? What does it mean?
John 1:41 The terms Messiah (Hb.) and Christ (Gk.) both mean “anointed” (usually by God). In the
NT and early Judaism, “Messiah” is a summary term that gathers up many strands
of OT expectations about a coming “anointed one” who would lead and teach and
save God’s people, especially the great King and Savior in the line of David
whom the OT promised (see, e.g., 2 Sam. 7:5–16; Ps. 110:1–4;Isa. 9:6–7).
— ESV
Study Bible (Wheaton: Crossway, 2008), pg. 2022.
“1:41 Messiah. The term “Messiah”
is a transliteration of a Heb. or Aram. verbal adjective that means “Anointed
One.” It comes from a verb that means “to anoint” someone as an action involved
in consecrating that person to a particular office or function. While the term
at first applied to the king of Israel (“the Lord’s anointed”—1 Sam. 16:6), the
High-Priest (“the anointed priest,” Lev. 4:3) and, in one passage, the
patriarchs (“my anointed ones,” Ps. 105:15), the term eventually came to point
above all to the prophesied “Coming One” or “Messiah” in His role as prophet,
priest, and king. The term “Christ,” a Gr. word (verbal adjective) that comes
from a verb meaning “to anoint,” is used in translating the Heb. term, so that
the terms “Messiah” or “Christ” are titles and not personal names of Jesus.”

MacArthur, MacArthur Study Bible,
rev. ed. (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 1997), pg. 1577.
Dan. 9:25-26 — 25 Know therefore and
understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to
build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and
threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even
in troublous times. 26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah
be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall
destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood,
and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
Ex. 29:29 — And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his
sons' after him, to be anointed therein, and to be consecrated in them.
1 Sam. 2:10 — The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken
to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the
ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn
of his anointed.
Ps. 2:2 — The kings of the earth set themselves, and the
rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed,
saying,
Ps. 45:7 — Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness:
therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy
fellows.
Ps. 89:20 — I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I
anointed
him:
Is. 11:2 — And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the
spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit
of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;
Is. 61:1 — The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD
hath anointed
me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the
brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the
prison to them that are bound;
Lk. 4:18-21 — 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he hath anointed
me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted,
to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to
set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 To preach the acceptable
year of the Lord. 20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to
the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue
were fastened on him. 21 And he began to say unto them, This day is
this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
Acts 4:27 — For of a truth
against thy holy
child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius
Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,
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.
Heb. 1:8-9 — 8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O
God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy
kingdom. 9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity;
therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy
fellows.
which is, being interpreted, the
Christ
Mt. 1:23 — Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring
forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel,
which being
interpreted is, God with us.
Mk. 5:41 — And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted,
Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.
Mk. 15:22 — And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.
Mk. 15:34 — And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice,
saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?
which is, being
interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Jn. 1:38 — Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith
unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where
dwellest thou?
Jn. 1:41 — He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto
him, We have found the Messias, which is, being
interpreted, the Christ.
Acts 4:36 — And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son
of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,
Acts 13:8 — But Elymas the sorcerer
(for so is his
name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy
from the faith.
Jn. 4:25-30 — 25 The woman saith unto him, I
know that Messias
cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all
things. 26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he. 27
And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman:
yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her? 28
The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to
the men, 29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I
did: is not this the Christ? 30 Then they went out of the
city, and came unto him.
Mt. 1:17 — So all the generations from Abraham to David
are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon
are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ
are fourteen generations.
What would it have meant to a member of the nation of Israel to
realize that Jesus was the Messiah? How would it have affected a first century
A.D. Jew to have it dawn upon him that the person standing if front of him was
the Messiah?

III. How did Andrew know? What convinced him? — The Finding
John 1:35-41 — 35 Again the next day after John stood,
and two of his disciples; 36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he
saith, Behold the Lamb of God! 37 And the two disciples heard him
speak, and they followed Jesus. 38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them
following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which
is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou? 39 He
saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with
him that day: for it was about the tenth hour. 40 One of the two
which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. 41
He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him…”
The first miracle had not yet been performed. That comes soon
after, and is recorded in the next chapter.
Were they witnesses to His baptism, and the events that
immediately followed it?
1) The heavens opened
2) The Spirit descending
3) The voice from heaven
Mt. 3:16-17 — 16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went
up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and
he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 17
And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well
pleased. (PP: Mk. 1:10-11; Lk. 3:21-22; Jn. 1:32-33).

J. D. Douglas, F. F. Bruce, R. V. G. Tasker, J. I. Packer, and D. J. Wiseman
(Grand Rapids: Wm. B. Eerdmans, 1962), pg. 818.
Or, did they come to faith that He was the Messiah on the
testimony of John the Baptist alone?
Had the spent a night with Christ where he dwelt, and were moved
from “Rabbi” to “Messiah” by this exposure, or something that they heard from
him during the interval?
Conclusion:
Here are “Five Words” that
you need to understand!
“We have found the Messias.”
