Sermon Note
Pastor Mark
Jesus has resurrected! We have hope now!
In the news today, we see a lot of death due to the Covid19 virus. We are constantly in fear.
Pastor Mark’s childhood-
I remember when i was a child, my grandfather loved me a lot. I was very dumb and a lot of people laughed at me for been dumb. But my grandfather loved me and supported me and said i will have great future.
One day i was injured. My parents scolded me for being naughty but my grandfather asked me to go to him and gave me a 10 cent. At that time 10 cent is very big.
Not long after he was sick and shortly after he passed away.
Whenever i visited him at the tomb, i often wonder what is the purpose in our lives.
When i come to church i know, when i saw Jesus’ tomb. The tomb is empty. He was sinless and took our place. His resurrection is so that we can become righteousness in Christ.
We can have hope now.
Now we see death all around the world.
See Jesus’ resurrection and there is hope!
We can have hope in life.
Jesus has resurrected! Our lives are different now
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
What is God like? Look at Jesus Christ.
Peter was blessed with abundant catch of fish. God wants to bless you.
You are financially affected, but God wants to bless you!
Gift of God is eternal life ! God wants to bless you! Regardless of what you did.
God wants to give us freely His grace!
His empty tomb…who He died for? He died for you and I!
He came to earth to become Man to become our sin and go to the cross and suffered at cross. Died on the cross.
This is ℓσνє. God is ℓσνє.
God is righteous and He is ℓσνє. He ℓσνє all the way to the cross.
He resurrected after He took the punishment for our sins.
Today maybe you did not take care of your health, Jesus is not here to punish you. You may be in debt, but Jesus is not here to punish you.
This is good news. Gospel. Jesus is here to heal you. Jesus is here to provide for you.
You allow God’s Word in your life. You can feel the shalom in your heart.
Jesus knows what is our feeling now.
Jesus is willing to be with us.
In Old Testament and New Testament, it is the same Jesus.
He is willing to go into the fire for us.
In desert, there was no provision but He was willing to be with us
Hebrews 2:14-15
Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
At the cross, His outstretched hands, He used His wings to cover us.
As long as we hide under His wings, we are safe.
In desert, God provided manna for His people. At night, it was cold and God provided fire.
See these two words-
Inasmuch (He is the same yesterday today and forever)
He Himself
Fear of death
The virus caused death. People are scare of death
Right now things is very dark but Jesus wants to save you!
Right believing cause right living.
Inasmuch, He Himself wants to bear all things to save us.
He Himself took our poverty so that we can he provided for.
He Himself took all the stripes so that we can be healed.
He Himself was hang on the cross for us.
Jesus took all the curses for us.
Jesus has all in the universe yet He is willing to take our curses so that we can live with abundance in this life.
We may see all the negative, but believe we are in Christ we are provided for and set apart.
The blessings are on the righteousness of God in Christ
Romans 4:25
who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.
Today we live in Christ.
God wants to save those who believe in Him!
You may be in worried, only Jesus can save you!
The good news, gospel! God wants to save those who believe in Him!
Jesus died and resurrected for us.
Jesus took all our punishment. He is sinless and still willingly took our punishment of sins.
He is fully Man and fully God
Don’t live in guilt consciousness.
Jesus came so that we can be saved. He did not come to punish us.
Everyday choose to listen. Listen the Word of God.
You are here listening the Word of God by His grace.
Our Father wants to bless you, provide for you and free you from all debts.
John 5:24
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
Today keep reminding yourself we face resurrection life! Not death.
Jesus wants to receive us to Him!
Just like the world now. Every country are receiving its people back to their own country.
1 Corinthians 15:51-53
Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
John 14:1-3
The Way, the Truth, and the Life
“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
Jesus wants to be with us
With Jesus, we are in heaven. We can be living heaven on earth.
When we enjoy Jesus, we lie in His bosom and this is heavenly.
When we enjoy His ℓσνє, all good things happen.
Jesus through us, show His ℓσνє to the world.
Everyday you wake up, remember Jesus bear all for us.
We will forever be provided for.
Jesus is the Bread of Life. All who come to Him shall not be hungry.
Through His death, He won it all!
Nothing in this world can beat us.
This year we are different. Jesus resurrected and there is hope !
