Esaïe 52

Notes
Transcript
A missionary to Africa told the story of an elderly woman who was reached with the gospel. Though she was blind and could neither read nor write, she wanted to share her new found faith with others. She went to the missionary and asked for a copy of the Bible in French. When she got it, she asked the missionary to underline in red and mark the page it was on so she could find it. The missionary wanted to see what she would do, so one day he followed her.
In the afternoon, just before school let out, she made her way to the front door. As the boys came out when school was dismissed, she would stop one and ask if he knew how to read French. When he said “Yes” she would ask him to read the verse that was marked in red. Then she would ask, “Do you know what this means?” and tell him about Christ.
The missionary said that twenty-four of the school boys that lady led to the Lord became pastors.

I. La beauté d’un messager v. 7

Vous avez une occasion unique de répandre la Bonne Nouvelle en cette saison de Noël. C’est une des rares saisons où le monde donne une certaine tolérance à la Parole de Dieu.
Romains 10:14-17

Comment donc invoqueront-ils celui en qui ils n’ont pas cru? Et comment croiront-ils en celui dont ils n’ont pas entendu parler? Et comment en entendront-ils parler, s’il n’y a personne qui prêche? 15Et comment y aura-t-il des prédicateurs, s’ils ne sont pas envoyés? selon qu’il est écrit:

Qu’ils sont beaux

Les pieds de ceux qui annoncent la paix,

De ceux qui annoncent de bonnes nouvelles!

16 Mais tous n’ont pas obéi à la bonne nouvelle. Aussi Esaïe dit-il:

Seigneur,

Qui a cru à notre prédication?

17 Ainsi la foi vient de ce qu’on entend, et ce qu’on entend vient de la parole de Christ.

Fanny Crosby loved sharing the Gospel with anyone who would listen. In 1869 she penned the words to “Rescue the Perishing.” When asked about the song, she explained, “It was written following a personal experience at the New York City Bowery Mission.” She went on to explain that she would go one night a week to talk to “her boys.”
One night while speaking to them, she kept having the thought that there was a boy present who had wandered away from his mother and must be rescued that night, or he would be eternally lost. She made a plea to each boy that was there that night. At the end of the service, one of the young men came forward and said, “Did you mean me, Miss Crosby? I promised my mother to meet her in Heaven, but as I am now living that will be impossible.” She prayed with him and led him to Christ. As they finished, he said, “Now I am ready to meet my mother in Heaven, for I have found God.”

II. L’horreur du message v. 14

(son contenu)
L’Évangile, c’est beau dans ce que ça apporte à celui qui croit, mais c’est un message qui, s’il est bien apporté, demeure difficile à entendre jusqu’à un certain point.
Le message de la vie, c’est premièrement un message de mort:

1.Mort dans le péché

Ephésiens 2:1

Vous étiez morts par vos offenses et par vos péchés,

Charles Peace, a notorious criminal in England, was executed on February 25, 1879. Just before his execution, an Anglican minister halfheartedly read to him from The Consolations of Religion: “Those who die without Christ experience hell, which is the pain of forever dying without the release which death itself can bring.”
Charles stopped the minister and said, “Sir, if I believed what you and the church of God say that you believe, even if England were covered with broken glass from coast to coast, I would walk over it, if need be, on hands and knees and think it worthwhile living, just to save one soul from an eternal hell like that!”

2.Mort de l’Agneau immolé

Mort de l’Agneau immolé
Revelation 13:8 NEG
Et tous les habitants de la terre l’adoreront, ceux dont le nom n’a pas été écrit dans le livre de vie de l’Agneau qui a été immolé dès la fondation du monde.
Mort de l’Agneau immolé

3.Mort du croyant avec Christ

Romains 6:11

11Ainsi vous-mêmes, regardez-vous comme morts au péché, et comme vivants pour Dieu en Jésus-Christ.

Nous devons passer d’un état de mort dans la péché à un état de mort au péché. Délivrés de la pénalité du péché, nous devrions désirer ardemment être délivrés de la puissance du péché.

III. La beauté du message v. 15

(son résultat)
La beauté du message est qu’il est le seul message qui peuple le ciel et qui prive l’enfer.
Nous avons une occasion unique ici et maintenant de semer la bonne nouvelle, et de voir des gens de toute nation se tourner vers Christ.
Romains 15:21

Ceux à qui il n’avait point été annoncé verront,

Et ceux qui n’en avaient point entendu parler comprendront.

La lettre de nouvelles de Mark Logan est fascinante: mais nous pouvez évangéliser des gens de presque tous les coins du monde sur nos propres rues.
