Thanksgiving
Most of us have enjoyed a Thanksgiving Celebration this week
Thanksgiving dinner with the family
Probably a day of food and football
If Jesus came to your House
If you are a Christian, Christ will come to your house
For what would Jesus give thanks?
Jesus is Thankful for the Simplicity of the Gospel
The scene: Jesus’ ministry (vv.
5, 6, 20–24)
His outreach to the poor and needy
Rejection by the proud cities and Pharisees
The great mistake (1 Cor.
1:17, 18; Rom.
1:20–24)
Although they knew God --- yet they were unthankful
So many these days live in exactly the same way
knowing of God, attending church even, enjoying the blessings of faith
yet, without thanksgiving, or humility, or genuine love
The road to blessing is the road of humility
Humble yourself under the mighty hand of God (1 Peter 5:1–6)(Be clothed with humility, for God resists the proud)
“He that humbleth himself shall be exalted” (Luke 14:11)
Jesus is thankful, as He looked over the multitude, that education, riches, and fame could not earn heaven
5.
You must come to Christ as a little child
Jesus is thankful for the Sufficiency of the Father
“When He had given Thanks”
The scene: Feeding of the five thousand
The great need and the limited resources available
How would you like to have that crowd drop in for Thanksgiving?
Philip’s dilemma: not enough to meet this need
Jesus proving Philip … Philip would be a better man
The comfort … He knew what He would do
Jesus gives thanks for the provision
He made the universe, yet was thankful for loaves and fishes
Called forth the first stalk of wheat, yet was thankful for bread
Spoke the first fishes into existence, yet was thankful for those given to Him
He set the example that we should follow
How little we show our thankfulness!
How much we take for granted!
Jesus is thankful for Salvation through the Cross
Christ with the disciples in the Upper Room at time of the Passover
Jesus offered Thanksgiving for the food
But this is not just thanksgiving for the food
“This is my body which is broken for you.”
“This is the New Testament in my blood.”
What amazing love!
Thankful even for the cross
For the joy which was set before Him
that joy is your salvation
despising the shame ...
Thankful that men can be saved even though it takes the cross
If Jesus Christ is so thankful, even for His Cross, how are we doing?
Are we thankful for our own calling?
though it cost us something?
though it cost us everything?
Conclusion
How has your thanksgiving measured up?
What are you Going to do about it?
