When I was at Bible college we were given quite a few written assignments to complete and I remember one of them being given a strange title. It was pie in the sky when you die or steak on your plate while you wait. What does that mean? Well pie in the sky when you die is looking towards something in the future where steak on your plate while you wait is something you can have now. Now it took us all a while to scratch our heads and figure out what was being asked of us but when we finally found out the idea of the assignment was to make that balance between how much time we invest in what we have now and how much time we invest in what's to come after this life is over. [00:00:23] (47 seconds)
I hear people give a great deal of their time and effort and conversation to what they have now and what they're planning to have during the years of this life. Probably more so in this area in Silicon Valley even at restaurants or wherever we might be you overhear conversations about people who are in business, how they're planning their lives, how much money they're making and you very rarely hear conversations about what's going to happen after this life is over. Maybe they talk about where they'd like their funeral or how they want to be buried. [00:01:18] (33 seconds)
but nothing beyond that recently i heard a rich golfer being interviewed and he was one of these guys who's joined a very lucrative golf tour if you know anything about that and he is making a fortune and he said i'm so glad i'm doing this because now i can leave enough money for my children to be safe my grandchildren and my great -grandchildren and he's probably right he had planned everything he got everything in place so that every one of his descendants would be happy and that they would be fulfilled but only according to the terms of this life nothing about the life to come and the more i live the more i see that nobody's really talking about these things anymore this is easter sunday and of all days in the year this should be the one day where our attention is forced to the things beyond to the things above it's a day we rejoice that our savior jesus christ was raised from the dead and we might think to ourselves well he died but isn't it great that he rose again good for jesus but what it is it's about us and the whole message of easter isn't just what jesus went through but how it affects us how it gives us hope and how it forces our attention to the life to come because jesus raised to eternal life to be in heaven with god forever but he didn't just do it for himself he did it for every one of us who believe and it's so crucial that we shift our thinking towards the things of eternal life when i first became a christian in 1985 there was a phrase circulate circulated in the circles that i moved in and it was this it was that some people are so heavenly minded as to be no earthly use [00:01:50] (111 seconds)
having to go through that uncomfortable meeting with God you see Jesus acknowledges that heaven is unknown he said to Nicodemus in that famous conversation from John chapter 3 he said no one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven the son of man he's saying to us no one's ever been there in a way it kind of justifies our position to think to ourselves well of course we don't know what's going on because no one's ever come back from there we've got no photographs from the place nobody can come back and describe what we'll be doing there pastor Cory spoke about this last week and he's doing a lot of research into this but generally we don't know do we there's not much told us about what our moments in heaven will be like what we'll be doing where we'll be what it will feel like and all of this is a bit of a mystery even the disciples didn't know when Jesus explained that he was going to prepare a place for them Thomas replied Lord we don't know where you were going so how can we know the way [00:06:36] (65 seconds)
are we making spiritual plans does the news of the resurrection of Jesus make us look up and think that's really the life I should be preparing for what I do now on earth is not just a feather my nest and to get everything I can get it's to use these days these weeks these years now in preparation for the far bigger life to come which Jesus died and rose for so that we might join him there in heaven that phrase pie in the sky whatever it originally meant have you noticed how it now just means like a kind of crazy pipe dream it doesn't mean anything it's like yeah that's just pie in the sky that will never happen and I think people have adopted that attitude [00:06:36] (45 seconds)
spent the whole night waiting for the great pumpkin when I could have been out for trick -or -treat Halloween is over and I missed it I didn't get a chance to go out for trick -or -treat and it was all your fault I could have had candy apples and gum and cookies and money and all sorts of things but no I had to listen to you you blockhead what a fool I was trick -or -treat comes only once a year and I missed it by sitting in a pumpkin patch with a blockhead you see Sally made a decision she decided to forego what she could get right now in the hope that she would get something better later on and it turned out to be wrong and I think so many people arm themselves now with that kind of Sally mindset which says I don't know if I want to give up everything now I want to be doing all the things now because I don't want to get to the end of my life and discover that perhaps it wasn't worth doing this is what I think people are saying these days I don't want to get to the end of my life to find out I'd missed out on all the fun all the money all the candy on some pie -in -the -sky pipe dream that turned out to be false so many people have that attitude but here's the great news Jesus is not the great pumpkin Jesus is true he's alive he was raised to life again and encourages us that by trusting in him we will receive what we've given up on this life I think maybe sometimes we think that Jesus is going to sort this out anyway that at the end of our life we don't know what's going to happen to us it's not like we make a proactive choice about where we go when we became believers we weren't given an instruction manual saying this is how you get to heaven [00:09:16] (113 seconds)
these are the directions this is the map we have to trust that when we die angels will transport us to where we need to go and the Lord will make the decisions over us and because of that nature of us being passive in that situation I think we've somehow said well God will take care of it anyway he's the one who will sort all these things out I don't have to think about it right now yes Jesus does go to prepare a room for us yes he will take care of all the arrangements he will be like our eternal travel agent but what he says to us is don't be unaware even though you may not understand everything about heaven apply your minds to it now in order that your life might be lived now in accordance with what you're ready to face when you come to heaven because when we get that right view of heaven we start to live our lives as we ought we start to put away the things of this world and focus on what we need to focus on and the resurrection of Jesus Christ forces us to do that and I'm so glad that we can do that here today let's look briefly then that was a long introduction three very short points we're going to look at Matthew 16 to see these unfolding events and conversation by which Jesus tries to turn his disciples thinking towards the things of heaven and Matthew 16 starts off with Jesus encountering two groups of people who really don't want to know anything about heaven we read there in verse 1 the Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven he replied when evening comes you say it will be fair weather for the sky is red and in the morning today it will be stormy for the sky is red and overcast [00:11:08] (112 seconds)
You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah. Jesus then left them and went away. [00:13:01] (17 seconds)
So Jesus meets the Pharisees and the Sadducees. Now both of these groups held great power in the society in which they lived. They were the ruling, administrative, religious leaders and everybody came under their authority. But here's the thing, neither of them had an accurate view of heaven. The Pharisees believed in heaven, they believed in an afterlife and they believed that the Lord would reward some and discipline others. But that was as far as it went. They didn't line it up with who Jesus was. [00:13:01] (30 seconds)
You know, don't you find that ironic? What was the greatest sign from heaven? Wasn't it Jesus incarnation on earth? There he was. If you're looking for a sign, here's a man who's come from heaven. Who's the son of God, who's performing miracles that no one ever performed before. That should have said to them, there's your sign that you're looking for. There's your living, breathing, speaking sign. But they couldn't see who he was. They didn't believe in him. [00:14:00] (27 seconds)
We like things that are familiar. We base things on reason and common sense and experience. But Jesus is asking his disciples now to raise the level of their thinking to more heavenly matters. [00:18:32] (12 seconds)
Now, the disciples had forgotten to bring bread. So they make this very strange connection between the bread that they've forgotten and this idea of the yeast of the Pharisees. Now, you know, yeast is a crucial component in making bread. It's what makes the bread rise. And what happens with the yeast is it works its way through the whole dough. [00:18:44] (21 seconds)
And so I wonder, what were they thinking? How did they receive what Jesus just said and somehow put this together? It's as if they're thinking in their minds, we were supposed to cross the lake. Because we've forgotten bread, we're going to have to bake some bread there. But Jesus is warning us that when we bake the bread, we shouldn't use the yeast from these groups who don't like him very much. That seems to be what they're thinking. [00:19:04] (26 seconds)
Now, I don't want to be rude about the disciples. I probably would have said the same thing. But at this moment, they're not coming across as the sharpest tools in the box. [00:19:39] (10 seconds)
And Jesus is saying to them, no, that's not what I meant. He's saying, if you needed bread, did you not just notice what's just happened in Matthew's gospel? How I fed the 5 ,000 from nothing, how I fed the 4 ,000 and all these baskets of leftovers, again, from very little. [00:19:39] (18 seconds)
If you needed bread, I would have provided you from bread. How on earth can you be thinking that this has got something to do with actual yeast that the Pharisees have? He says, no, it's their teaching. Their teaching is insidious. You've lived under their teaching all your lives. The Sadducees, the Pharisees, they have been your spiritual authority. And now's the time to come outside of that teaching. [00:19:57] (25 seconds)
very soon after Jesus's departure they're going to be entrusted with the job of taking the gospel to the world and Jesus needs to see that their thinking is not just worldly but that they can start to embrace the things of heaven and the things of the spirit and the things of eternity you see the Pharisees the Sadducees they wanted to discredit Jesus not just in the eyes of the public but especially in the eyes of the disciples almost as if to say to them why are you following this guy he's nothing he's nobody nobody knows who he is do not follow him come back to us doesn't the world do that to us as well are we not so influenced and conditioned under the conditions of what we live we've been indoctrinated we've had peer pressure we come under various agendas we've lived under formalism traditionalism history the way we were brought up by our family our country our culture our school our neighborhood we're already conditioned to think according to the values of this world schools have made sure that they remove God from the equation the world the media doesn't want any mention of God and we can become so colored by what we hear and what we experience that it's a shock for us when we find Jesus to discover that he's setting us on a path where that thought process has to change in order that we can accept who he is and what he's saying to us you know the Pharisees were adding to scripture all the time the Sadducees were taking away from scripture but both of them were undermining the authority of God in order to establish their own authority and that was a difficult thing under which the disciples [00:20:21] (111 seconds)
We read in verse 14. Is it 14? No, it's 12. I'm sorry. Then they understood that he was not telling them to guard against the yeast used in bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and the Sadducees. Okay, it's a small victory, but it's something. They've grasped something. They're starting to think spiritually. They're starting to get metaphors. They're starting to see how Jesus is teaching them, and it's changing their perspective of the things around them. [00:22:19] (27 seconds)
On the face of it, they seem quite good answers. It's like they've noticed Jesus is somebody. He's not ordinary. He could be the reincarnation of one of those people who came before. He's definitely got abilities. He's definitely connected to God somehow. And yet it's not enough just to say that Jesus is a special man. He's not just a special person who teaches well and is a great moral teacher and leader. [00:23:20] (26 seconds)
We need to see him as more than that. And the other thing is this, that the disciples in giving those answers are not looking forward. They're looking back. They're reminding themselves of characters from history and still they don't have that ability. [00:23:53] (16 seconds)
That's the second group of people. People who've started the journey with God but who are still very clouded by the way that they think. [00:24:09] (10 seconds)
Jesus comes back from that question and then he turns the heat up a little bit more. He says, but what about you? He asked. Who do you say I am? [00:24:30] (10 seconds)
Do you ever get those questions asked you and you don't really want to be asked those questions because you know your answer is going to reveal what you know or more likely what you don't know. So I imagine there's a lot of like foot shuffling going on and the disciples are just waiting for somebody else to give the answer. [00:24:30] (17 seconds)
Now that might just sound, we've heard that phrase a lot of times, we've covered this scripture a lot of times, but can you imagine the impact that that makes? Finally someone gets it. Finally someone's thinking has gone from this earth and starts to focus on the things of heaven and on eternity. [00:24:30] (20 seconds)
He understands who Jesus is and he shows that his thinking is no longer influenced by the Pharisees and the Sadducees, but he dares to stand up and make this great declaration. [00:24:30] (13 seconds)
Jesus confirms that Peter's answer could not have been revealed by flesh and blood. He says to him, Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my father. [00:24:30] (15 seconds)
in heaven he says you're getting it there's a heavenly connection you're now thinking for yourself as anointed by God's holy spirit it's an extraordinary answer you know remember this was a time when the hostility against Jesus was huge nobody liked him except this small group of people or certainly when I say that the religious authorities did not like him and they had all the power the people loved him because he was feeding them he was healing them but for Peter to stand up and say my allegiance is now with this man and not these religious groups that's a huge moment for Peter you know we may knock Peter for being a bit impulsive a bit hot -headed but he's always the one who gets those spiritual breakthroughs first [00:24:30] (52 seconds)
in that moment he's demonstrating how his mindset has changed from the things of the world to the things of God I think Jesus is so encouraged by this he's so encouraged that one of the disciples is starting to think about the life to come that he says a great thing to Peter he says to him I tell you that you are Peter and on this rock I will build my church and the gates of Hades will not overcome it I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven it's as if he's saying finally since one of you has got the idea about what heaven is about we can start talking about heaven we can start talking about what it's like how we get there [00:24:30] (42 seconds)
