A PLACE
A PLACE
INTRODUCTION:
THE WORLD SEE DEATH AS A BAD THING. BUT PSALM 116:15 “Precious in the sight of the Lord Is the death of his saints.”
DEATH COULD BE A BAD THING FOR THOSE WHO DON’T KNOW WHERE THEY ARE GOING.
WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS, LEAVING FROM THIS EARTH CAN HAVE A TRAGIC.
I LIKE TO TALK ABOUT 3 THINGS.
YOU MUST BELIEVE.
YOU MUST BE PREPARED.
YOU MUST KNOW THE WAY TO THE PLACE.
A. YOU MUST BELIEVE.
JOHN 14:1 “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.”
THE UNCERTAINTY OF THE HEART WILL KEEP US FORM A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD.
SOME OF US TODAY BELIEVE IT IS A GOD, BUT HAVE NOT GOT TO THE POINT THAT WE BELIEVE IN GOD.
TO BELIEVE IN GOD MEANS I TRUST HIM WITH MY LIFE, AND MADE HIM LORD OVER IT.
IN ORDER FOR YOU TO TRUST HIM, THE LORD HAS TO HAVE YOUR HEART.
JESUS SAID IF YOU BELIEVE IN GOD, YOU WILL BELIEVE IN ME ALSO.
YOU CAN’T HAVE THE ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER.
THE HEART BECOMES TROUBLE WHEN THERE IS UNCERTAINTY OF YOUR DESTINATION. IT IS THE CONDITION OF YOUR HEART THAT WILL DETERMINE WHAT PLACE YOU GOING TO. KNOW THIS YOU’RE GOING SOME WHERE , RATHER IT’S THE PLACE JESUS AT OR THE PLACE WERE THE DEVIL WILL BE.
THOSE WHO ARE NOT SAVE ARE AFRAID TO DIE, BECAUSE THEY DON’T HAVE ANY CERTAINTY WHERE THEY WILL GO ONCE THEY LEAVE HERE.
BUT THOSE WHO HAS A INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD JESUS CHRIST CELEBRATE WITH THOSE WHO DIE IN THE LORD.
IT’S ONLY A FUNERAL WHEN PEOPLE DIE WITHOUT JESUS IN THERE LIVES.
JOHN 14:27 “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
B. YOU MUST BE PREPARED.
JOHN 14:5 “Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?”
THE GREATEST TRAGIC IS NOT KNOWING AND DO NOTHING ABOUT IT.
BEING BAPTISE DON’T SAVE YOU, KNOWING THE GOD OF THE BIBLE WON’T SAVE YOU, BUT WHEN YOU HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD JESUS YOURSELF , YOU CAN BE CONFIDENT WHERE YOU GOING.
MANY OF US HAVE NOT PREPARED OUR HEART’S FOR CHRIST TO COME INTO IT.
WHEN CHRIST COMES INTO YOUR HEART FOR REAL , YOUR LIFE WON’T BE THE SAME. THEREFORE IF ANYONE IS IN CHRIST, HE IS A NEW CREATURE; OLD THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY; BEHOLD ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW.
I COME TO TELL YOU YOUR TIME IS RUNNING OUT.
JOB 8:9 “(For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, Because our days upon earth are a shadow:)”
NONE OF US THOUGHT KEVIN WAS GOING HOME TO BE WITH THE LORD THIS SOON, BUT THAT’S WHY IT’S SO IMPORTANT TO BE READY.
C. YOU MUST KNOW THE WAY TO THE PLACE.
JOHN 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
FIRST WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO THE PLACE AND THAT’S IN CHRIST JESUS.
IT’S TIME OUT FOR US TRYING TO FIND FULFILLMENT IN PEOPLE, PLACES AND THINGS.
THESE THINGS WILL NEVER MAKE YOU WHOLE.
REVELATIONS 21 TALKS ABOUT THIS PLACE.
JOHN SAID IT IS A PLACE THAT GOD WOULD BE WITH US.
KEVIN NO LONGER HAVE TO FEEL LIKE HE’S ALONE.
JOHN SAID THAT GOD SHALL WIPE AWAY ALL TEARS FROM OUR EYES, THEIR SHALL BE NO MORE DEATH.
KEVIN DON’T HAVE CRY NO MORE ABOUT WHAT HE’S MISSING.
JOHN SAID THERE WILL BE NO MORE PAIN.
KEVIN NO LONGER HAS TO SUFFER WITH ASTHMA.
JOHN SAID THERE BE NO MORE LOOKING BACK, KEVIN NO LONGER HAVE TO LOOK BACK AND SAY WHAT HE SHOULD HAVE DONE OR WHAT HE DID NOT DO, BECAUSE KEVIN RACE HAS COME TO A FINISH ON THIS EARTH.
BUT WE CAN REJOICE , BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS FOR TO LIVE IS CHRIST AND TO DIE IS GAIN.
WE CANNOT DIE.
ROMANS 8:37-39 “Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
