"I LOOKED FOR SOMEONE TO TAKE PITY AND FOR COMFORTERS,
BUT THERE WAS NONE."
These terribly sad and eternal words are as true and
applicable today as it has been since creation and as true as at the time when
Jesus was crucified. Just think for a while - can you imagine that the Almighty
God, who created the whole universe, is looking for pity and for comforters
from us miniscule and sinful little men – but found none. It is far more
astonishing than for an elephant looking for an ant who feels sympathy and
comfort for him!
And the Scriptures are indeed true. Who feels pity for God
and Jesus today? NO ONE. Why should we? You will NEVER hear it preached and
never find a book on it and never hear someone saying it. No, we ask sympathy from
Him. He must help us.
WHY does Jesus look for pity and for comforters and why does
He not find it?
Carefully read what the Scriptures say:
Psa 69:9 Because zeal for Your house has eaten me up,
And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me. Psa 69:20
Reproach has broken my heart, And I am full of heaviness / misery /
distressingly sick; I looked for someone to take pity, but there was none; And
for comforters, but I found none.
Joh1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made
through him. Yet the world did not recognize him. He came to his own creation,
yet his own people did not receive him. Joh_5:43 I have come in My Father's
name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will
receive.
Eze 6:9 … because I was crushed by their adulterous
heart which has departed from Me, and by their eyes which play the harlot after
their idols;"
God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are zealous and are eaten up
by their desire to make their home in our hearts, the hearts God created for
Himself, HIS HEARTS. He wants to be welcomed, loved and obeyed there. But our
reproaches, scorn and sins against God grieve Jesus, struck Him, broke His
heart, made Him suffer, miserable and distressingly sick and murdered Him. But
Satan and sins are living in our hearts. Can you think how crushingly painful
it must be for Him? But NO ONE FEELS SYMPATHY FOR JESUS, NO ONE COMFORTS HIM,
NO ONE CARES FOR HIS PAIN, NO ONE DEFENDS HIM. You will NEVER hear it preached
or written or said. On the contrary, God is (falsely) made responsible for
Jesus’ wounds, everyone is happy and thankful that God punished Him in their
place, that He suffered for them and that He paid their debts. Meanwhile, it is
OUR SINS against and rejection of God that broke, pierced and crushed Jesus’
heart. He bore OUR SINS IN HIS BODY ON THE CROSS, OUR SINS WOUNDED AND MURDERED
HIM - BUT NO ONE ADMITS OR CONFESSES THAT. The Scriptures are indeed true, NO
ONE FEELS SYMPATHY FOR OR COMFORTS HIM!! It is the worst thing on earth
that we men cause our almighty, loving and holy God, Creator and Father such
pain with our sins - and that we feel no pity or sympathy for doing that to Him!!.
SELA! Stop and think....!
When we grieve the Holy Spirit, we grieve and pierce Jesus’
Spirit – but no sympathy or apology for Him.
When we break God’s words, we break His flesh for the Word
became flesh – but no sympathy for Him.
When we hurt the LEAST, we hurt HIM – but no sympathy or
comfort for Him.
E.g. What is done to the unborn babies, is done to JESUS –
but no sympathy, comfort or defence for Him.
We are indeed damned and doomed because of this.
But Zechariah prophesied:
"And I will pour on the house of David and on the
inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will
look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for
his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn.” Zec 12:10.
The Spirit of grace pleads with us to look up to Him whom we
have pierced, to mourn and grieve bitterly for Him, (to feel sympathy for Him
and to comfort Him) – and obviously to repent utterly.
"In that day a fountain shall be opened for the house
of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, against sin and against
uncleanness. “It shall be in that day," says the LORD of hosts, "that
I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, and they shall no longer
be remembered. I will also cause the (false) prophets and the unclean spirit to
depart from the land.” Zec 13:1-2
If we truly mourn for Him, God opens the fountain of His
blood that cleanses us from ALL sin.
“Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness or
deliverance from sin.” Hebr.9:22.
I.e. Without the remorseful confession that we have indeed
spilled the blood of Jesus with every sin, there is no forgiveness or
deliverance from those sins.
Peter then wrote:
"who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree,
that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you
were healed. For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the
Shepherd and Overseer of your souls. 1Pe 2:24-25.
Jesus allowed our sins to murder Him – that we may see what
sins do to Him and God, that we may confess, mourn and grieve, may have
sympathy for Him, comfort Him, that we may stop sinning, do right, be healed
and stop going astray. SELA!!
If we now still continue with no sympathy for Him and sin –
our judgement in hell will be justified.
GATHERINGS:
Read 1Co 14:37. If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet or
spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you are the
commandments of the Lord. But if anyone disregard that it is a command of
the Lord, he is disregarded and not recognized - one whom God knows not. Ampl.
Spiritual people know GOD COMMANDED in 1Cor 14 how we must
meet, but no church or group in Ballito or elsewhere obeys God in this - and so
they are all unspiritual and all rejected, wounded and murdered the body of
Jesus - who is the Word of God and His church!! Therefore, repent, start
gatherings as God commanded, where God is obeyed, where the truth of Jesus Christ
crucified is declared and where people tremble at God's Word. God lives in a
high and holy place and with those with a humble broken heart and contrite
spirit and who tremble at His Word. Is 57:15; 66:2. SELA!
Start a Facebook group in your area or town and call it 1
CORINTHIANS 14 GATHERING ……….. (name of town or area) and state time and place
of your meetings that anyone can find 1Cor14 gatherings anywhere in SA.
1 Corinthians 14 GATHERING............:
WHERE? .............
DATE: Sundays. TIME: 10.00
BRING ALONG: Chairs, umbrellas, sun protection,
groundsheets, picnic baskets:
WHO? All who seriously seek God’s will.
People who do not gather as in 1Cor 12-14, are breaking God's word and breaking Jesus' flesh - whilst feeling no sympathy for him, but they presume they worship Him.
