Week 3: Philippians 2:9-16, Romans 6:5 John 11
Theme: The exaltation of Christ (resurrection) means life for the believer
What difference does Easter make?
We think of Easter we might think of…
image Eggs, bunnies
image chocolate
image lamb (cute and cooked!)
image Cross - good friday
image empty tomb - easter sunday
might see facts about easter a bit like facts about aston villa.
however amazing might be, don’t really matter.
examples of amazing fact about football team.
illustrate (amazing fact that doesn’t matter?)
For some feels like that with Christian message about Easter.
Story of empty cross and empty tomb.
amazing story - but (aside from impact has on my weight each year, does it matter?
Even as Christian’s we can take the message of Easter for granted, failing to celebrate Jesus Kingship as we should.
I want to spend a few minutes this mornign thinking about implications of the ressurection.
Seeing not just that Easter provides the proof for Christianity, but also makes it the best and most important news in world for everyone.
So lets have our reading - we have been in a the aposlte Paul’s letter to the church at Philippi for this Easter series, Overview of Easter story- birdseyes view humility and Glory of Jesus Christ.
Journey Jesus took bit like a catapult with glorious purpose.
Like catapult winched back.
3 steps to the lowest point, (Grave and wrath).
But with a glorious purpose.
like a catapult released - Jesus is propelled into Glory.
We’ve spend last week thinking about first half of this passage, events leading to good Friday.
Reflected on Jesus humility- giving up his heavenly throne, entering into humanity, self denial, shame and scandal and mess.
And James helped us to think about where his decending lead - to grusem death.
But it wasn’t without purpose.
Because on that Cross as he died, he took on himself wrath of God, for our sin.
He faced rejection so that we might know forgiveness.
He came for a glorious purpose - to save sinners., but also as a step on his journey to the Glory that is due to him.
This Sunday and next aswe think about v9-11, we are going to think about Christ’s super exaltation both in the past and in the future.
and the glorious implications for us who believe.
Celebrate that Jesus Christ is LORD
”Therefore God exalted him.”
because of his perfect obedience, his humility, his death and sacrifice, Super exaltation,
What is the claim of Christianity?
What is Easter Sunday all about?
In four words.
v10 JESUS CHRST IS LORD.
In phrase is whole gospel message.
Jesus means God saves.
Christ - Annointed one.
Jesus was chosen to rescue.
Story of bible is of humanity made in God’s likeness to enjoy him forever, but who turned their back on him.Today we live in God’s world without reference to him, doing only what pleases us.
What bible calls sin.
Rebellion against creator.
Can’t help ourselves.
But Jesus came to rescue.
That’s what first half of passage is about.
Salvation for those who could not save themselves.
Rescue for the rebel.
Forgiveness for the failure.
A right relationship with God.
v9-11 Verses focus on today.
About this glorification.
God exalted him - Given the name which is above every other name.
v9
That everyone will know that he is also LORD.
LORD.
Why is this name added.
because its this name which proves the others.
Name we might have heard before.
OT name.
Kurios.
Greek form of Hebrew name - name above all names.
Yahweh.
Name of God himself, revealed to his people.
Jesus not just saviour but also Lord.
God himself.
King above all.
Glorious.
Claim is Jesus is LORD, who came to save us that we might know him and enjoy right relationship with him forever in perfect Kingdom where he rules.
Only way we can know God is by knowing Jesus.
Only way we can relate to God is by relating to Jesus, and only way we submit to God is by submitting to Jesus.
Huge claim.
Proof?
What we celebrate at Easter.
SLIDE Empty tomb
The resurrection.
God exalted him - raised him up? started by at the empty tomb by raising him from the dead by power of Spirit, and letting the world see him alive.
Resurrection of first importance.
Jesus 3 times in life said that he would die and rise again.
And that is what he did.
It’s the proof that backs up the claims.
v4 told he who was in very nature God humbled himself, so that he might be exalted.
Ressurection does not make Jesus LORD but shows that he is LORD.
This year is the queens Platinum Jubilee.
Recognising 70 years of her being on the throne.
It’s a time to remember her service and her authortiy and her glory.
As we look at our verses I want us to see that Easter Sunday is like the Queens jubileee.
It’s a jubilee of the crowing of Jesus.
As we look back to the ressurection, we look back to the Coronation of Jesus as King!
Jesus is LORD and he will reign forever.
why it matters
Two reasons it matters.
First because if Jesus is LORD he deserves our worship - spend some time on this next week.
If Jesus Christ is Lord, then he and only he can offer us life.
JESUS CHRIST IS LORD and offers us life.
