SITTING AT JESUS' FEET
Luke
8:35
Luke
8:35
Then they went out
to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the
devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in
his right mind: and they were afraid.
At
His feet is where I want to be.
How about you?
Isaiah 52:7
How beautiful upon
the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that
publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth
salvation; that saith unto
Those
are the feet that no doubt were fondly caressed by an adoring mother in the
manger, that pitter pattered around the carpenter shop, that as a youngster
were supposed to follow the family from the temple, but stayed w/ the
leaders.
Those
feet stepped into
To
walk beside them, for a privileged few, must’ve felt like walking on air!
“A
tender blade of grass so green crushed in the footstep of the Nazarene,
springs back and waves a message to a bird as it sings, ‘That’s Him!’.”
They
didn’t run when His accusers approached, but rather they walked up the hill
to
What
a privilege it is that we today, and every day of our lives, can sit at the
feet of Jesus!
There we will find…
Luke
7:38
And stood at his
feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe
them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with
the ointment.
In humility this woman,
void of chastity, found
forgiveness from her sins as she knelt at the feet of Jesus.
The Lord allowed this woman who had made a living from impure contact
to touch Him…and His virtue became her own as her faith and repentance were
expressed there at His feet!
Or
another, taken in the very act of adultery...Jesus didn't condemn her, He
forgave her, and put her accusers to shame in the process, then charging her
to go and sin no more!
Matthew 15:30
And great
multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind,
dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he
healed them:
Outcasts and rejects find their happy place at His feet.
Worldly wounds
are healed there.
Calloused
‘souls’ are softened and saved by His touch, and instructed to walk
on and bring others to His feet for healing!
Luke
10:39
And she [Martha]
had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.
Martha was busy serving in the kitchen, but little sis chose
the better path, taking
time to just sit, rest,
and learn
timeless truths from the
Master. Martha could have
a Mary Christmas if He spent more time at Jesus' feet.
Mark
5:22-23
And, behold, there
cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw
him, he fell at his feet, [23] And besought him greatly, saying, My little
daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on
her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.
This
is prayer in the proper position…kneeling.
It’s true, it’s more an attitude of the heart than a position of the
body, but it’s the position we’d assume if He walked in here right now!
And it helps
promote the right attitude inwardly when we assume that
position outwardly.
It’s
true, we ‘may come boldly’ to His throne, but that doesn’t mean eye to eye.
It’s bold in that we can be in His presence at all…and in the awe of
such a moment, may we be found kneeling at His feet in prayer!
Luke
17:16
And fell down on
his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
This
was the only 1 of 10 lepers who, having been cleansed, showed His thanks.
All of them had the faith that saved them.
So why the ingratitude?
Was it the surprise of the miraculous moment?
Was it taken for granted?
Did the other 9 run off to show family or friends, or to do the things they
always wanted w/ their new physical freedom?
We don’t know for sure…all we know is that this one recognized
the highest priority
of life is owed to the
One Who made life worth living, and before going on to live it, put
first things first at the feet of Him.
Every
day is a gift. Have you been
thankful today? For salvation,
we cannot thank Him enough. For
daily bread, constant help, daily motivation and encouragement from His
Word. Thanksgiving should be
every day for the Christian!
In
our text, Luke 8:35
Then they went out
to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the
devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in
his right mind: and they were afraid.
Demons had afflicted his mind, and he had no rest, but now he’s in his right
mind, at rest, and naturally,
wanted to continue
to find rest at the feet of Jesus.
Rev.
1:17
And when I saw him,
I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto
me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
Again, it’s amazing we can even enter His presence, and again, if He entered
this place, we’d all quickly find our place on our face!
“As dead” = motionless.
We live life too fast today, and just need to sit, and ‘be still and
know’ that He is God, and worship!
We
all want His power on our lives, and this verse says, ‘he laid his right
hand upon me’. He takes away our
fears, and puts it all into perspective:
He is the first and the last.
It’s all about Him…and we’d do well to live our lives kneeling at His
precious feet, walking in the footprints along His path!
“Footprints of Jesus…”
[song]
Matthew 28:9 [post-resurrection]
And as they went to
tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came
and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.
Ironically, Jesus washes OUR feet, and gives us the privilege of having
those beautiful feet that preach the gospel…a sermon in shoes!
Where
would Jesus go?
Proverbs 4:26
Ponder the path of
thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.
Proverbs 1:15
My son, walk not
thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
Hebrews 12:13
And make straight
paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but
let it rather be healed.
Psalm
119:105
Thy word is a lamp
unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Psalm
119:59
I thought on my
ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
Proverbs 3:23
Then shalt thou
walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
“Where would you have me to go, Lord?
Give me feet to follow you anywhere, to take me to the altar at
church, to lead me to my quiet place to pray, that bring me to your house
faithfully, that carry me in service to others, bringing them back to you!”
