“Jao tebi, odvjetnici! jer si uzeo ključ znanja: ušli ste ne u sebe, i spriječiše one koji u tebe ulaze”, reče Isus zakonoznancima Izraelovim. Iako su ove riječi bile namijenjene odvjetnicima naroda Izraela, Jesus could speak the same words to many church leaders today. Jer mnogi ljudi, koji sebe nazivaju apostolima, proroci, evanđelista, župnici, a učitelji su oduzeli ključ znanja. What is the key of knowledge that Jesus referred to in Luke 11:52 and how has the key of knowledge been taken away in the church?
How the lawyers had taken away the key of knowledge?
jao vama, odvjetnici! jer ste uzeli ključ znanja: niste sami ušli, a one koji su ulazili spriječili ste (Luke 11:52)
Isus je ove riječi izgovorio zakonoznancima; tumači i učitelji Mosaic law. rekao je Isus, da su odvjetnici oduzeli ključ znanja. Because although they belonged to God’s people and had carnal knowledge of the Law of Moses, nisu posjedovali znanje o Bogu.
although they were teachers of the Law of Moses and were familiar with all the laws and regulations of God and knew all these laws by head, they didn’t know God.
They didn’t know God and were not acquainted with His will. Since they lived in disobedience to Him.
The lawyers didn’t Bog ljubavi with all their heart, duša, um, i snagu. They didn’t know His thoughts and didn’t walk in Njegov način. Jer inače, Isus ne bi izgovorio ove riječi, koje je primio od Oca.
Ali Isuse, who they saw as an unskilled son of a carpenter and didn’t hold a high position in society, spoke these words to them.
Ovi odvjetnici, koji su Njegovom narodu trebali predstavljati Boga i Njegovo Kraljevstvo, predstavljali sami sebe.
They held high positions in society and the people respected them. These lawyers considered themselves superior to the people and had set themselves as gods in the temple.
Mislili su da posjeduju ključ znanja i da su ključ znanja ljudima. But Jesus brought the truth into the light. Jesus exposed the lies of these lawyers, čiji su umovi bili pomračeni i koji su hodali u tami.
Ključ omogućuje pristup
A key has value and provides access to a house, zgrada, prijevozno sredstvo (automobil, (motor) bicikl, čamac, itd.), sef, (Računalo) programa, itd. The keeper of the key has the power to open and shut*. Bez ključa, a person can’t get access and is hindered from entering and/or making use of something. To se također odnosi i na Kraljevstvo Božje.
Isus je govorio o ključu znanja, since the lawyers were supposed to possess the key to eternal life. They were supposed to possess the knowledge of God and His will and His Kingdom. If they had possessed the key of knowledge they would not have been the only ones, who walked in submission to God and His words on His way and live in the will of God, ali i narod, koga su poučavali u hramu.
Many church leaders have exalted themselves above God and have taken away the key of knowledge
Neka vas nitko ni na koji način ne prevari: jer taj dan neće doći, osim što prvo dolazi do otpadanja, i da se čovjek grijeha otkrije, sin propasti; Koji se protivi i uzdiže iznad svega što se zove Bog, ili koji se obožava; tako da on kao Bog sjedi u hramu Božjem, pokazujući se da je Bog (2 Solunjani 2:3-4)
Just like in the days of Jesus, the lawyers had taken away the key of knowledge and prevented the people from the way to eternal life, many church leaders have exalted themselves above God and His Word and have taken away the key of knowledge and hinder those, koji traže ulazak. (Pročitajte također: What is the difference between Jesus and the religious leaders?)
Instead of representing Jesus Christ and His Kingdom and preaching the truth and will of God, they represent themselves and preach lies. How do they preach lies? By speaking their own words, mišljenja, i iskustva te donošenjem vlastitih pravila i propisa.
Many church leaders are not born again. They are not baptized in Christ (krštenje vodom) and haven’t laid down their flesh.
Their spirit is not raised from the dead and they’ve not received the Holy Spirit. But they are still carnal and led by their flesh and the ruler and spirits of this world.
They might have great knowledge of the Bible. But as long as they are not born again in Christ and don’t have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and the Father through the Holy Spirit, and the Word of God is not the highest authority in their lives, and they don’t do the word of God, then all their knowledge of the Bible doesn’t mean a thing.
Kako netko može, who has not entered the Kingdom of God lead others into the Kingdom?
All that knowledge of the Bible has no value, but it only makes them prideful and puffed up. Because how can someone who is not born again in Christ and has not received the Holy Spirit, propovijedati o regeneraciji u Kristu i Duhu Svetom?
Kako netko može, koji nije ušao u Kraljevstvo Božje i ne živi u Kraljevstvu Božjem, predstavljati, propovijedati, i donijeti Kraljevstvo Božje ljudima? How can preachers lead others into the Kingdom if they have not entered themselves?
A kako netko može, koji živi u grijehu, pozivati druge na pokajanje i otklanjanje grijeha? Točno, to je nemoguće!
That’s why the message has changed in many churches. The people don’t preach the words of God and His truth anymore. They have adjusted the truth of God. They’ve mixed the words of God with their own opinions and carnal knowledge, which derive from their carnal mind that has been fed by the world. I tako propovijedaju vlastite tjelesne istine.
Evanđelje koje je napravio čovjek, koji nije evanđelje
Čudim se što ste se tako brzo udaljili od onoga koji vas je pozvao u milost Kristovu u drugo evanđelje: Što nije drugo; ali postoje neki koji vas muče, i izopačili bi Kristovo evanđelje. Ali iako mi, ili anđeo s neba, propovijedati vam neko drugo evanđelje osim onoga koje smo vam mi propovijedali, neka je proklet. Kao što smo prije rekli, pa kažem ja sad opet, Ako vam tko propovijeda kakvo drugo evanđelje osim onoga koje ste primili, neka je proklet (Galaćanima 1:6-9)
Many preachers have become motivational speakers and many prophets have risen, koji ne govore, proročanstvo, and act from the Spirit according to the Word. But they speak and prophecy from their flesh and preach another gospel, koji nije evanđelje Isusa Krista.
Umjesto propovijedanja Kristovog evanđelja, they have perverted the gospel of Christ. They have made the gospel of no effect and put Jesus to shame.
Since the gospel, which they preach and practice doesn’t represent the will of God. Their gospel doesn’t lead to (duhovni) sloboda ali da (duhovni) ropstvo i podložnost tijelu i duhovima ovoga svijeta.
Umjesto da pusti zarobljenike na slobodu, they lead the people into captivity.
This manmade gospel doesn’t call the people to repentance and remove sin and lay down the flesh. But this gospel feeds the flesh and keeps the flesh alive. This gospel calls the people to rebellion and sin against God and to not love God but the world.
People are not led to Jesus and the cross, but the world
Because they want to please the flesh and don’t preach the truth of God anymore but preach a manmade gospel, uzeli su ključ znanja.
Instead of leading the people to the true Jesus Christ and the cross and getting them born again and teaching them in the knowledge of His will, vode ih u svijet. Because of that many people wander and are lost. They seek but they’re hindered from entering the Kingdom of God and inheriting eternal life.
How many Christians have taken away the key of knowledge?
But not only many church leaders have taken away the key of knowledge, but also many people who call themselves Christians. They say they believe and call Jesus their Lord and maybe possess a lot of Bible knowledge, but they don’t have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, riječ, and refuse to submit to the Word, pokoravajte se Riječi, and live according to the will of God.
Oni bi mogli biti pristup u Kraljevstvo Božje i vječni život za mnoge ljude, propovijedanjem Isusa Krista; istina, put, and the Life and calling the people to repentance and by living as the new creation, Božji sin (i muški i ženski), u poslušnosti Bogu nakon Njegove volje.
But because they don’t know Jesus Christ personally and are not truly born again and don’t have the Holy Spirit abiding in them and have not entered the Kingdom of God themselves, ali pripadaju svijetu i slični su svijetu i tjelesno misle i žive istim životima kao i svijet, postupajući po volji tijela, također su uzeli ključ znanja.
