CD 1720 Learning Life - Experiencing Full Salvation

In this morning's message we will see that salvation is one thing, the primary thing the first thing! But those who want to experience the fullness of life must learn how to follow Jesus! When we get to our text we'll see that it's talking about the Jewish people at first but at the end of the chapter we find out that God sent out to the hedges and the byways to reach us the gentiles! So we can apply this to our lives this morning!

Bro Jason on the screen:

*Luke 19:10 (KJV) For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

*John 10:10 (KJV) The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

The Greek word "zoe" used here is often translated as "life" but carries a deeper meaning of "absolute fullness of life". 

Text Luke 14:1-11 (KJV) And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.

2 And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.

3 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?

4 And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;

5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?

6 And they could not answer him again to these things.

7 And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them.

8 When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;

9 And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.

10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.

11 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Note verses 10 & 11! In verse 10 because if humility Jesus says go up! Then he says by humility comes exaltation. With that being said let's look for a second and third witness!
Submission by humility allows God's Exaltations:

See James 4:10 (KJV) Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

See 1 Peter 5:6 (KJV) Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
