  1. I spy a Christian

  2. (Joh 13:31-38) Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him. Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you. A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards. Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake. Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.

Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

  7. (Act 10:9) On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:

  8. II. I spy intentions fulfilled

  9. (Joh 13:31) Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. (Joh 13:32) If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.

  10. A. Intention to Glorify through the PLIGHT of the cross

  11. (Mar 8:34) And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

  12. (Gal 5:24) And they that are Christ's have crucified the fleshwith the affections and lusts. (Gal 6:14) But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

  13. B. Intention to Glorify through the POWER of the resurrection

  14. Rom. 6:1-13

  15. (Mat 5:16) Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. (1Pe 4:16) Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

  19. (Joh 13:34) A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. (Joh 13:35) By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

  20. A. The image is a PRIORITY for others to see

  21. (Mat 22:36-40) Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

  22. (2Jn 1:5) And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.

  23. B. The image is a has a new PLUMBLINE to measure by

  24. (Joh 13:34) A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. (Joh 13:35) By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

  25. (1Jn 3:14-18) We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

  26. IV. I spy the inevitable

  27. (Joh13:36-38) Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards. Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? Iwill lay down my life for thy sake. Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.

  28. A. Inevitable failure because of PRIDE

  29. (1Co 10:12) Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. (Pro 16:18) Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

  30. B. The Inevitable PERSISTENCE

  31. (Pro 24:16) For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.

  32. C. The Inevitable PROMISE

Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards.Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake. Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.
