The Equipping

Moses & Aaron

Swords - Luke 22:36-38 “He said to them, “But now let the one who has a moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one. 37 For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in me: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors.’ For what is written about me has its fulfillment.” 38 And they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” And he said to them, “It is enough.””

Paul

Eph 1:3 “3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places,”

1 Cor 1:7-8 “7 so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 8 who will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Jesus, Moses, & Elijah Matthew 17:2-3 “2 And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light. 3 And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him.”

Our Choices

Not for salvation - Rom 4:4-5 “Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. 5 And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness,”

Every idle word - Matthew 12:36 “I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak,”

Let your light so shine - Matt 5:16 “In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”

The Destination

Determined by Jesus - John 14:6 “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

Secured by Jesus - v3...I will come again and will take you to myself

Home with Jesus - v3 …that where I am you may be also

Church Family, The Lord calls us to Himself in salvation. He then calls us to Holiness in our lives, and to specific ministries. We may have many questions, but if we stop and think, we see that He has equipped and does provide all we need to live in our calling. Victory and our destination are secured by Jesus. So, by God’s calling, in light of God’s provision, and empowered by God’s Spirit, let us move forward from victory making Kingdom choices. Oh, and it’s true: we DO know the Way!
