Summary

Knowledge without historical/cultural context Margaret Feinburg: Scouting the Divine Sheep are not dumb; they're defenseless; sheep always come when called--if the sheep doesn't come, it's because it's in trouble. John 10:27 99 can be left...because they are content (they are eating). John 10:14 Do you really know Jesus? Your belief system is based, produced by your knowledge. Doxia - nosis = knowledge - belief ortho = straight or connect Some won't understand... "just believe this truth" Why do I believe it's truth? Experienced knowledge - changed doxia Phil 3:8 (Road to Damascus experience changed him When we look into the face of God we will be changed. This experiential knowledge of God NEVER contradicts the word of God The purpose of the encounter is so we can know Him intimately and it will change us. Ex. Moses Romans 2:14-16 Law is written on our hearts by the Holy Spirit. Satisfaction/ dreams come true... we look to people, organizations, (job) etc., to make this happen. John 6:35 -99 sheep didn't stay because they wanted to please, but because they were eating (experiencing pleasure). He is the only pleasure that will satisfy. Matt. 25 Sheet vs. Goats Goats believe they know Him... they are busy doing works for Jesus... striving. Sheep are not striving, busy finding their pleasure-not to strive for Him but to KNOW HIM. Do works as we choose to abide in Him. (Mary vs. Martha) Ex. Army alcoholics (alcohol took control over them) Eph. 5:19 NLT Sheeps couldn't remember doing things for Jesus because they were sloshed in the Spirit. Get sloshed in the Spirt- intoxicated by Him When you look at His face (ex. of woman with almost child abduction; she did this because she knew her children (not because she wanted to do the right thing). Hosea 4:6 My people are being destroyed because they don't know Me. He died so that we could know the Father Want to know Him more than anything He will honor that and He will answer He will respond to that heart. Psalm 37:4
