Three parts of God's plan to redeem sinners
by Pastor Dennis on 09/09/15
Jesus walks, heals and teaches in gentile
lands. Caesarea Philippi was named for the Roman Emperor, who proclaimed himself
to be god and the Governor of the province, the son of King Herod. Turning his
face south where Jerusalem laid over the horizon Jesus teaches three things:
1. He is the Son of God, the Messiah who was sent
to save the whole world.
2. He must pay the debt of sin for all those who
He would save.
3. Those who are called to lay down their sin and
follow Him.
Let us
pray: Lord Jesus, may we ever have ears to hear Your Word of Grace and Mercy
even when it offends our pride. In all our troubles, may we come to You; knee
down and humbly lay down all our cares and concerns; at Your feet; knowing that
you will take them up and give us Your forgiveness so that we may serve one
another in Your name. Amen
Next Sunday: The Measure
of Faith: Walking with the lord
alone. Jesus suffered and died so that those who believe might receive forgiveness
of sin before God. All who believe, trust and rely on God’s act of redemption through
Christ will be reckoned as righteous before God and adopted into the kingdom of
God, eternal. Therefore, the ‘saved’ walk with Jesus alone.
