The Man Who Kept Looking Up — Warren Wiersbe

We just came my wife is here someplace. Daddy. You better get up because I always get scolded for now and Joe and Maureen Guthrie are here. They have been our hosts and our chauffeurs up. Pastor Guthrie's retired now, although he's quite busy.

He and his wife, but I first met him in 1948 that goes back a few years. Some of you were just a gleam in somebody's eye. 1948. I want you to know that your your friends in the ministry are going to enrich you.

The Importance of Fellowship and Mentorship

Don't be a loner. Don't be a loner. You can't raise a preacher anymore, and you can raise a bee. It takes a hive and so don't be a loner. Get yourself some some good close praying Preacher friends, and if there is in your area somebody just a mite older.

Who can kind of mentor you a little bit? I thank God for the people in my life Who enriched me. I was some for some reason. I was smart enough to listen to them. I? Don't know how that happened. We just came from Dallas and I've been ministering to about 800 of our black pastor friends, and we had a high and holy time.

We just had a high and a holy time and God moved in and we we just praise him for his faithfulness. What I'd like to do during these times that we're together Is chat with you on the simple subject of how do we keep going?

What Keeps God’s People Going

How do we keep going some years ago? I sat down with my Bible and I talked to myself if you were going to be in my study at home or my library at home. You'd hear me talking to myself. I talked to my Bible, and I found that when I talk to my Bible my Bible talks to me and I said Lord.

What kept the people going in Scripture? What kept them going? We have a lot of. I'm going to start a a eudicious society for all the dropouts. Now I'm also starting a meeting a group for the most neglected and abused people in the church the janitors the custodians.

I'm calling it premise keepers, but I tell you the battle the battle is raging. And I thank God it is raging. Spurgeon used to say I didn't hear him say it, but I read it first. Joe heard him say. Spurgeon used to say the devil never kicks a dead horse.

Dr.. Culbertson when he was president of Moody Bible Institute occasion he snuck into Moody Church when I was there. And he'd come up to me and say well, how goes the battle and I better be able to say it's going.

That's when God blesses. That's when God blesses, so I began to go through my Bible. Lord what kept Abraham going? At the age of 75 most of us are hanging it up. He's just getting started. What kept Moses going.

80 years old. God says I'm calling you by the way youngsters. God is still calling and using some older folks. You knew that. You knew that. Sometimes he goes and gets a young Samuel or a young David.

Or a young John. And sometimes he gets a hold of a Moses or an Abraham or Joshua or Caleb? Because it we need all. Friend of my friend of mine some years ago bless his heart. He said I I tell you church is changing.

I said hallelujah. Like a mighty tortoise moves the Church of God. Brethren we are treading where we've always trod. He said I'm gonna start a new church in this town. I said really he said yep for everybody 60 and older.

I said I got a suggestion. He says what I said put an undertaker on the staff. Betty and I make it a point to make friends among younger preachers and preachers wives because they teach us. I Learned so much from and I'm glad for younger folks who try to get to know some older folks.

Because according to the Bible it takes both. We have digital watchers now, but we used to have the old-fashioned time. Remember the old fat with the hand you remember those they were popular when the radio was popular.

And the church is something like those hands you know that we older folks. We were like the our hand we kind of move a little slowly. But we we can tell you what time it is and then some folks are like that minute hand goes a bit fast.

Second hand you know it takes all three to tell the time and I thank God for the church where there is a balance a Balance where we learn from one another so I began to study the lives of these great people in the Bible.

What kept them going. I discovered an interesting thing that there are in the lives of these people in each one of them one key truth. That kept them going. Terrific we're gonna start with Abraham. Abraham and the thing that kept Abraham going for a hundred years.

Walking by faith the thing that kept Abraham going was he saw The City of God. Hebrews chapter 11. Would you turn there with me? Hebrews chapter 11. Now I'm going to have occasion to refer to Hebrews quite a bit during these Time during this conference time if I were back in the past for it.

I'd be preaching the book of Hebrews. The book we need today the book of Hebrews Was written to people who were going through? Shaking according to Hebrews chapter 12 God was shaking everything. Now the Saints don't like to be shaken.

They open the service with we shall not be moved. God shaken things today. He's shaking his church today and Paul and the writer that book of Hebrews some folks think was Paul tells us the reason he's shaking things is so that the things That you can't shake Will stand and people will say hey.

We've been fooling around with the scaffolding we've been messing around with the scaffolding and Scaffolding is all gone. We have church still here a Lot of churches are wasting a lot of time and money just on the scaffolding.

Instead of building the building book of Hebrews chapter 11 verse 13 Talking about the Patriarchs these all died in faith. Not having received the promises that is the things that were promised. But having seen them afar off and were assured of them Embraced them and Confessed that they were strangers and Pilgrims on the earth that's one of our problems today.

The Saints live like this is home. Folks I got news for you. This is not home. A fugitive is running from home. A Vagabond has no home. A stranger is away from home. A Pilgrim is heading home and we're God's pilgrim.

This world is not our home. That's why Abraham who was a wealthy man and could have built himself a mansion Lived in a tent and when he wrote his will We've written our will. It says being of sound mind and body.

I spent it all. When Abraham wrote his will he said dear Isaac. There is my will. I'm leaving you a tent. Jacob a tent. That's where a lot got in trouble gave up his tent. Settle down. For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland a fatherland.

And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out they would have had opportunity to return. But now they desire a better that is a heavenly country. Therefore God Is not ashamed to be called their God for he has prepared a city for them.

Abraham’s Hope in the Heavenly City

What was it that kept? Abraham going. He's looking for a city. When you get to the end of the book of Hebrews the writer says now I want to remind you folks that we Here here on this earth. We have no Continual city.

You say well, I don't live in a tent. Oh, yes you do. Oh Yes, you do. Well, we know that if this earthly tent Tabernacle in which we're living it's taken down. You live in 10 2nd Corinthians 5 1. You don't live in a house.

You live in a tent and that means you're temporary. Abraham you're a wealthy man. Why do you live in a tent? This isn't my home. Where you going? Right up there. You see a city. He's preparing for me a city and it was the vision of heaven That kept Abraham going.

Now there were three cities involved in Abraham's life and There are three cities involved in every believers life. Now the unbelievers only have one city. The three cities involved in your life, I don't know what city you come from to to come to this conference.

But every one of us spiritually speaking spiritually speaking Is involved in three cities first Abraham had a city behind him called her Or of the Chaldeans and then Abraham had a city beside him called Sodom.

And the thing that kept Abraham from going back to the city from which he came Was the fact that he had a city before him and beyond him. Heaven. I want to talk about these three cities in your life. In my life first.

There's a city behind us. Every one of us as a believer Has turned his back on the past. That's important if we don't. If in our hearts or our minds we're still attracted to the past. The pull of the past we're heading for trouble.

The writer says Abraham if he had thought about that homeland he came from that place. He could have gone back. Could have gone back. Did you not the greatest judgment God can put upon any of us is to let us have our own way?

The greatest judgment he can read Romans one. We said we just gave him over. You want to live that way go ahead. But you can't change consequences. Abraham had a city behind him called Ur of the Chaldeans.

Now We get the idea that this ancient history describes people Who lived in caves and and walked around like they were? Gorillas. Don't you kid yourself. Ur of the Chaldeans according to Sir Leonard Woolley the great Archaeologist was no mean city.

Population of over 300 ,000. They had water conduit they had figured out square roots and cube roots. Some of us can't do that today. Lush country it was not in the middle of a desert lush country vast buildings.

Some of the wealthy people had 14 15 room villas With running water and Abraham was a wealthy man. Let me quote Sir Leonard Woolley just in case you may doubt me Abraham was the citizen of a great city and Inherited the traditions of an old and highly organized Civilization.

Wealthy. He had status Comfortable keep his neighbors would say brother which were like Abram man. And then one day Abram had one of those life-changing Experiences by the grace of God you know what though Stephen says it this way in his sermon in Acts 7 the God of glory Appeared to Abraham.

That's happened to you hasn't it and God says get out. Leave your family. Just get out. Just take Sarah your wife and get out. He didn't obey. He took Sarah. He took Tara his father. He took a lot his nephew and he got as far as he ran and there he stopped.

I Don't criticize Abraham. There been times when God's asked me to take giant steps. And I've taken little baby steps. I don't know what there is about us that we don't want to trust God. I Mean he saw the glory of God.

God said get out. Well Tara died. He left he ran Abraham and Sarah and lot did and God had said to Abraham Go to a land. I'm going to show you. Now I like to read the books. That the secular press books puts out on Administration business.

I like to be efficient. I'm one of these people. I carry a card in my pocket if I get an idea. I have to write it down. I'll forget it. Right next to my on my dead stand. I've got a stack of notepaper, and I've got a ballpoint pen.

With with a flashlight in the point. Now folks how efficient can you get? Pen makes eight carbon copies and no original, but it's a good pen and if I get if I wake up at night. And I've got a great idea.

I Have to write it down because I'll lose it. I Like all these books on efficiency and all these books on efficiency say not you plan. You know where you're going. One-year plan five-year plan ten-year plan all the while James is saying you don't even know if you're gonna be alive tomorrow.

So God Abraham goes to Sarah. Abram goes to Sarah, and he says my dear. We're moving. Where are we going? I don't know you don't know where you're going. No. Well, how will you know when you get there?

God will tell me IBM would never accept that Abraham marched off the map. He didn't even have a map. And I want you to know there are times when God calls us and says now start moving and doesn't always tell us where We're going.

Now I'm the kind of likes to know where we're going. That's why my wife travels with me because I get lost in a phone booth. We're driving down the the interstate. You know and she'll say didn't you see that exit.

I? Tell you seeing one you've seen them all. That was our exit. Oh there's another one down here, so when we travel she does the planning. Figures out what's going to happen, and I like everything to work on schedule.

But if you have all day you fly the American way. Or the Delta way. Anybody who would believe the announcement in an airport would believe anything. So God called Abraham to go to a country he'd never seen and he went by faith.

I Said Abraham. I want you to know something. This is not your final destination. Now if you lift up your eyes higher, I'm going to show you out here. There's a city a country a homeland and Abraham I've written your name down in heaven.

That grace has your name written down in heaven. I Like that Greek verb there in Luke where Jesus says your name has been written down. It is still written down. It stands written down. It always will be written down.

I bother some people I know. That's all right. It's a new name written down in pencil. Abraham you're going to heaven and Abraham if ever. You think about her your comfort? You're well all of these things you had in her don't look back look up.

Everything that Abraham ever dragged with him that he wasn't supposed to bring with him got him into trouble. Locked out into trouble. Maybe I went down to Egypt. Got Hagar down there. Hagar got him into trouble.

That's why the Bible warns us. Don't look back Jesus said Anybody who puts his hand to the plow and Looks back isn't fit for the kingdom of God. Then he said remember lots wife. That's what she did. She looked back turned into a pillar so Paul said what for getting those things which are behind.

That was the whole problem with the Jewish nation. God delivered them from Egypt and the minute they got into any kind of difficulty whether it was The Red Sea or what are we going to drink or what are we going to eat?

Anytime they got into any difficulty They sang the same song Let's go back to Egypt that used to be our home. Oh Moses we want the leeks and the onions and the garlic. That's one crowd. You wouldn't ask this thing breathe on me and the problem with the Jewish people was their philosophy was whenever you're in trouble go back and For us as Christians whenever we're in trouble.

The answer is go forward. Every one of us has a city behind them and every once while the devil says, you know, you'd have it a lot easier If you were back where you used to be I Mean you gave up your job.

You did this you did that and here you are serving the Lord and Yeah. But just think of what you'd have if only you would have stayed in her. Why don't you go back? Why don't you go back to Egypt and Abraham would say to that as Paul would say No, I got my eyes in a city out there.

That's right. We have a city behind us and we've got to be careful about the pull of the path. Peter said you've had enough time in your old life to satisfy yourself with that and I'll forget about it.

Move ahead move ahead. The older I get the more comfortable. I want to be. I'm becoming more and more artificial. I'm wearing artificial eyes. Trifocals, I've got some artificial ears. Betty and I have an interesting ritual at night.

I take out my hearing aids. And she puts in her earplugs. I have moved into the AIDS Syndrome, I have hearing aids and band-aids and roll-aids and but I'm getting more and more artificial. I Can't run like I used to run and carry luggage like I used to carry luggage.

But God keeps stirring me and saying don't get comfortable. Don't look back. Look ahead. Look ahead. Now Abraham had a city beside him was called Sodom. You and I are living in the midst of a society.

Living Faithfully Beside Sodom

Where Sodom is our next-door neighbor. What was Abraham's relationship to Sodom? Book of Genesis says Sodom was an exceedingly Wicked city so much so that throughout scripture whenever the writer wants to talk about judgment He says you know about Sodom and Gomorrah.

What was Abraham's relationship to Sodom? Well number one he was separated from it. He lived in a tent over here. They lived in a city over there. But he was separated from it. It is possible dear friends.

It is possible for us To be in the midst of an evil society and not be tainted by it. It's tough. It's tough. John wrote love not the world. He didn't say don't live in the world. Jesus said I have called you out of the world.

I'm going to send you back into the world even though you don't belong to the world since we have been called out. And one day we're going to be called up and get to that city. Meanwhile between being called out and called up.

We've been called To live in a wicked world. We are the light of the world. We are the salt of the earth and Down through the centuries the thing that has killed the church is that it has become an exclusive club.

And we have forgotten that we are light to shine in the darkness. We are salt to be applied to that world around us. Love not the world. James said keep yourself unspotted from the world. Then James went on to say Friendship with the world is enmity with God.

That's the way we usually go down the drain. First there's friendship with the world. Then when you start getting friendly with the world the world's gonna spot you get a spot here spot there. And we're spotted by the world before long.

We we love the world. It's like two kids falling in love. You know first there's friendship and before you know it They're both wearing identical t-shirts and then before long They're in love and of course the result of all this is Romans 12 to conform to the world.

Now you see this in a lot. Lot was what a privilege lot had. I think one of the great tragedies in Scripture are the people who miss their opportunity. What would an opportunity lot miss to be able to walk with the friend of God.

I Mean I'd be going around saying hey, you know my uncle is you know my uncle is he's God's friend. God talks to him. But instead you find a lot Pitching his tent towards Sodom. Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly.

Nor stands in the way of sinners nor sits in the seat of the scornful pitches his camp when he belong he moves in and he's at the gate if he's one of the Alderman one of the mayors of Sodom and he lost everything.

Lost his camp he lost his altar. He lost his fellowship with God. He lost his fellowship with his godly uncle lost his testimony. When the angels came and said get out we're gonna blow this place up. He went and told his family they laughed at him.

He lost his testimony with his own family. And he lost his wife he lost his daughters lost his purity ends up committing drunken incest in a cave. I Mean that's what? Who used to go to? church with Abraham.

If that can't happen to me, don't kid yourself but him who thinks he Stands take heed lest he fall. That applies to me. Now what was Abraham's relationship with Sodom. He was separated from it, but brothers and sisters separation is not isolation.

Because in chapter 14 of the book of Genesis. When those Kings came down and swoop down upon Sodom and Gomorrah and the three other cities of the plain and took them captive. Somebody came running into Abraham's camp and said Everybody in Sodom and Gomorrah and those other three cities.

Everybody's been captured by the King. Abraham said about a lot. They said lots one of them now you'll forgive me for being just a little bit carnal. I Wouldn't do it except you do it occasionally. If lot had treated me the way he treated Abraham.

And they came and said lot has been captured. You know what I would have said. Let him stew in his own grease. That's what he deserves. But Abraham's better man than I am. Did Abraham knew? That one day lot was a saved man didn't look like it, but according to Peter. He was a saved man just lot.

Abraham knew that the day would come when he and lot would be walking on the streets of the city together. And Abraham didn't want lot to turn to him and say uncle Abraham. Why did you desert me? See some of the people you don't get along with.

I'm gonna be in heaven now. You may didn't want in-and-out privileges because of that but Abraham said get the army and so over 300 of his men trained in arms got on their horses and camels and away.

They went at night, and they won the battle. You know why they won the battle. Abraham was a man of faith, and this is the victory that overcomes even our faith. And this man with 300 and some soldiers whips for Kings.

It brings everybody back. Would you have done that for the people of Sodom? Yeah, I have Christian friends who are praying that God will blow up All these sinners some of them even go so far as to shoot a few of them.

Abraham wasn't that way when the Prophet Jeremiah my favorite prophet was ministering in Judah. The Babylonians had come down and taken a bunch of exiles before they destroyed the city a Jeremiah wrote him a letter.

It's in Jeremiah chapter 29. It's a great letter. He wrote me said not you dear exile. This is from Jeremiah. How should you behave as God's chosen people now that you're in Babylon. Here's the way you're supposed to behave number one get married have children.

Plant gardens and farms and pray for the peace of the city and do good. Don't carry protest signs. Don't blow up buildings. Just pray for these people and do good. Now when Peter wrote his first letter he'd been reading that.

When you read first Peter he tells us how to get along with the government. How to get along with a world out there that thinks we're crazy. He said now here's what you do folks you honor the king. You pay your taxes you respect authority and you do good.

You do good. You find some hungry people feed them. We in our churches and we ought to and I hope it continues are sending young people out in the summertime to mission Projects. They go to Mexico and build buildings and go to some place else, but they all can't go.

And somebody has to stay home and do something. I once asked our youth pastor. I said, what does. What are the kids doing this summer? Well this this this and this I thought about the ones that aren't going in any place.

Well, I guess they'll just you know do something. I said why don't you go down to the Park Commissioner and find out what needs to be done in the parks? In Lincoln, Nebraska. There may be fences to be painted or restrooms to be cleaned.

Wouldn't it be neat if the word got out in the body politic of Lincoln, Nebraska? That a hundred young people from Berean Church Cleaned up Holmes Park do good. That's what Abraham did. See if I'm driving down the highway and I see a man in the ditch in his car.

And I pull over. I don't walk up and say you saved her unsafe. I say you're driving a Cadillac. You must be safe. Are you Presbyterian Baptist independent? It charismatic. I mean what you don't do that if somebody's lying there in a car you help them as One human being to another you help them.

So Abraham not only was separated from Sodom but he ministered to the people of Sodom and then when it was all all the prisoners of war came back and all Abraham and his men came back and Abraham standing there up comes the king of Sodom and says look take all this wealth.

Just give me back the people. Abraham said. See, we don't serve other people for what we're going to get out of us. He said I don't even want to shoelace from you. If I borrowed a shoelace from you that would affect my walk.

I'm not interested. What a testimony to those people. You know, it's possible for us to do good for unsaved people and be a witness to them. Then up came Melchizedek. With the bread and the wine the Lord Jesus shows up, you know before the battle he shows up Joshua.

When before the battle of Jericho Jesus showed up with his sword. After the battle he shows up with the bread and the wine. He said Abraham. Abraham said I'll give you all the tithes. See you can acknowledge Jesus before unsaved people if you've done good.

So he was separated from them. He served them and he prayed for them. The Lord Jesus showed up and said with two of his angels and said we're heading for Sodom. But I got to tell Abraham what's going on.

He's my friend. He's my friend. Abraham said now look if you find 50 Righteous people will you spare the city? Yep, and you know the story down to ten. Lot mrs. Lot. They had four daughters who were married to were unmarried.

The two were married. He had husband. So that's eight. He's just gotten up you've gotten two people saved. You could have spared the whole city. Lot mrs. Lot. Four daughters. We don't know about the sons-in-law.

Yeah, they've gotten two people saved. He spared the whole city. But Lot wasn't a witness. You know how to change this world get people saved. Get people saved. How do you pray for unsaved people. The people aggravate you the neighbors?

Two o 'clock in the morning turn the Amplification of Bible tells us to love our neighbors and love our enemies because they're usually the same people. Abraham was separated from Sodom. Abraham served the people of Sodom to the glory of God.

So he could give his witness. And Abraham interceded for the people of Sodom. Our pastor got up one day one Sunday morning a few years ago, and it's a several years ago now and said I Want everybody in this church to have a hit list now.

I grew up in Chicago. We're on a clear day. You can see your feet and a hit list in Chicago meant. You know call the undertaker and get an estimate because you are on the list. What he meant by that was make a list of the people.

You know who are unsaved people you're close to who are unsaved. Start praying for start praying for. Well, Abraham had a hit list and on that list was Sodom. Folks we are not going to change this world.

But we can let God use us to change people in this world. The sewage is going to get deeper. The smell is going to get worse, but sometimes things aren't too fragrant inside the church. Wasn't st. Augustine who said the church was something like Noah's Ark.

If it weren't for the judgment on the outside you could never stand the smell on the inside. Now let's focus on the main thing out. We want to get from the passage. Abraham had a city beyond him and before him the city of God heaven.

Heaven as a Motivation for Christian Service

I Want to talk to you about heaven? It's too bad that in our churches today the only time people talk about heaven Is when somebody's very sick. Or badly injured and it's going to die. We don't talk about heaven.

Let me read you a quotation from CS Lewis if you read history says Lewis. You would find that the Christians who did the most for the present world Were precisely those who thought most of the next world it is since Christians have largely ceased To think of the other world that they'd be become so ineffective in this world.

That's true. That's true. You see in order to do good here I need perspective and the only way to get perspective is to look beyond and Those in the Bible and those in church history who had their eyes on the city.

Were the ones who said we've got to do something about the situation here whether it was the British Evangelicals who fought slavery or the abuse of children during the Industrial Revolution or Those who built hospitals or those who went to mission fields those who were the most concerned about the next world.

Have the greatest concern for this world to put it in one simple sentence, and I hope you'll preach it. Brothers and sisters heaven is not just a destination. Heaven is a Motivation and if I am motivated by heaven, I'm going to keep on going.

Abraham had his dark moments lot was a disappointment to him. Broke his heart anybody you've ever ministered to broken your heart. Life wasn't easy for Abraham, but he said I'm gonna keep on going to the city up there now.

We're going to leave the Old Testament and move to the New Testament. To the Gospel of John. Gospel of John chapter 7 when you are studying your Bible. Notice the repetition of Phrases in the Bible those are important.

Three times in the Gospel of John Jesus says lift it up lifts it up lifts it up. Why? Why? Four times in the Gospel of John Jesus uses this phrase where I Talk about heaven. Four times he says where. And Jesus was motivated by heaven.

Jesus’ Heavenly Mission in John 7

John chapter 7. If I become a believer a pilgrim who's motivated by heaven How can I tell how could anybody tell if Warren Wiersbe is motivated by heaven. If I wake up in the morning say today? Maybe the day would go to heaven.

If I put my head in the pillow at night and say well, I may May just wake up in heaven. What difference does it make? Verse 32 John 7. The Pharisees heard the crowd Murmuring these things concerning him and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.

You ever been arrested for preaching a sermon. I wish I'd been arrested before preaching some sermons on his. Then Jesus said to them. I shall be with you a little while longer and Then I go to him who sent me and you will seek me and not find me and where I Am you can you cannot come?

And the Jews said among themselves Where does he intend to go that we shall not find him. Does he intend to go to the dispersion among the Greeks? A lot of Jews have done that and teach the Greeks. What is this thing that he said you will seek me and not find me and where I am you cannot come.

Never notice in the gospel of John every time Jesus talked about something spiritual. People interpreted it as something physical. Destroy this temple three days. I'll raise it up. Well, it took 46 years to build this temple.

Next time you're in a building program. Remember that it'll encourage you. You must be born again. How can I get back in my mother's womb? I will give you living water. You haven't even got a bucket. Except you eat my flesh and drink my blood.

This man's a cannibal. Is it that way today? You talk to people about the wonderful spiritual truth. It's can't see it. Jesus knew he was going back to heaven and He knew there's only one way to heaven.

When you know you're going to heaven that motivates you to an uncompromising Compromising witness. I do not have to tell you this because you know it already. I only do what Peter did stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance one of the greatest battles.

That is being fought in the evangelical church today. Is being fought on this question? Is indeed Jesus the only way? To heaven in the past a couple of years. I've read four books. Wrestling with if a person is a sincere Hindu.

Will not God forgive him and take him to heaven. How much? Faith is saving faith. How much knowledge is saving knowledge. And the theologians are wrestling with this now whatever the theologians? Wrestle with and write books about in about five or six years.

Percolates down to the Saints and if the Saints start believing that Jesus is one of many ways to heaven there goes evangelism. There goes world missions, and there goes the church. We're going to heaven.

Jesus knew he was going to heaven. He knew they weren't going to heaven so he told himself. He said you are not going to heaven. The woman at the well. The bad Samaritan Said to him oh our father's worship in you you worship in Jerusalem, but I thought we worship here.

I'm not garrison. We have our own worship our own priesthood our own temple. And that would have been a place for Jesus to say if it were true terrific. Hey go right go go ahead, and if you worship one way we worship another way.

Vice different we all have different ideas. Many roads lead to Rome. He didn't say that he said you don't even know what you're worshiping. Then he said We know what we're worshiping. Meaning the Jews for Salvation is of the Jews.

If you weren't saved by a Jew you aren't saved. Because Jesus came as a Jew. I was sitting in the airport in Kansas City one day and Man came up with a briefcase. I knew I'd spotted him. I know exactly what he was up to one.
