Untitled Sermon (2)

Missing the Meaning (13-24)

The men were going about their day/lives.

They were discussing the issues to no resolution.(James 4:13-17)

Jesus drew near to their daily life!

Needing the Source. (25-27)

Jesus’s gracious response.

The Law and Prophets. (Points out sin. Points out judgment. Points out God’s righteousness!)

All the Scriptures. (Gen-Malachi) point to Jesus Christ. (2 Timothy 3:16-4:8)

Feeding on Proper Bread. (28-35)

Jesus feeds us and blesses us.

Jesus’s lordship is best recognized in relationship.

Relationship with God is possible only through the grace of Jesus. (revelation 3:20)

NOW WHAT?

This Easter-Have you heard, understood, and believed the message? Have you come to grips with Jesus’ meaning? Will you respond to His words today? It will burn in your heart until you respond or until you lose all the feeling from denying it.

This Easter-Will you begin to search out the truth of God in His word rather than human speculation? Will you seek Him in His Word and with His people? Quit filling out quizzes that tell you your life verse. Quit spending your time hoping some false teacher on tv or youtube can blow the coronavirus off of your house. Go to the source! Go to God’s Word. Learn to carefully read it. Your eternal life depends upon it! The Holy Spirit will teach children and even the simplest of minds among us through the Bible. It is God’s Word and it proclaims that the resurrected Jesus is the Way, Truth, and Life!

This Easter-will you begin your relationship with Jesus? Will you trust Him to have taken the debt of all your sin and for him to have appeased the Father’s wrath, provided your justification and adoption as a child of God? Will you that have been standing at a distance from God allow Jesus to draw near? Will you that have been ‘dabbling’ in Christianity allow Jesus to come in and eat with you?

Don’t keep walking away after this year’s Easter. Slow down your pace. Ask Jesus to come in and eat with you. Ask questions of
