Pentecost (71)
  1. Our enemy is both external AND internal. Outside of us AND inside of us. It is the old evil foe who prowls around us AND the old Adam who wreaks havoc inside each of us.
  2. No longer do we read about Jesus promising to satisfy and raise and abide in His people. Instead, we encounter a Jesus who goes on the attack.
  3. Jesus, the Son of God from all eternity, the agent of creation, the Savior of all people, promises to abide IN His people.
  4. Jesus promises more than a disembodied “spiritual” existence after death. He has promised to raise our perishable, mortal bodies to immortality.
  5. In His grace, Jesus promises that all who come to Him in faith will live abundantly and eternally.
  6. The people you serve are still hanging on by a thread, which is another way of saying they are living by faith.
  7. The only one who is truly worthy of fear shows He cares for His disciples and desires to save them. Not only them, but all who are perishing.
  8. We know not how, and we do not know when, but God works according to His perfect will and His perfect timing.
  9. Questions and opinions about Him varied, but one thing was certain, Jesus was causing a major commotion. He could not be ignored.
  10. The command to love those nearby is as challenging as it is simple. Jesus took the initiative to come near to us in loving sacrifice.
  11. In other words, preachers need to help Christians navigate election season faithfully. This text can help.
  12. Jesus is making it crystal clear that the master, the king, God Himself decides who is and who is not welcome in His Kingdom.
