-Further Study-
So many people think of heaven as a place, but really it’s a Person. Jesus, who is at the very center of heaven, is what makes it exciting to me. We have something like a homing detector in our hearts, and it’s just not ringing for earth. It’s ringing for Him in whom our deepest longings will be answered… So heaven is not just a place; it is a Person, that Individual for whom we were made. What makes heaven exciting to me is being with the Lord Jesus where I will be perfectly and utterly at home. Joni Eareckson Tada
He accepted on the cross and endured a death inflicted by others, and above all by His enemies, which they thought dreadful and humiliating and not to be faced; so that this also being destroyed, both He Himself might be believed to be the Life, and the power of death be brought utterly to nothing. So something surprising and startling has happened; for the death that they thought to inflict as a disgrace was actually a monument of victory against death itself. Athanasius
It ill becomes the servant to seek to be rich, and great, and honored in that world where his Lord was poor and despised. George Müller
Heidelberg Catechism
Lord’s Day 15
37. What do you understand by the word “suffered”?
That all the time He lived on earth, but especially at the end of His life, He bore, in body and soul, the wrath of God against the sin of the whole human race; in order that by His suffering, as the only atoning sacrifice, He might redeem our body and soul from everlasting damnation, and obtain for us the grace of God, righteousness, and eternal life.
38. Why did He suffer “under Pontius Pilate” as judge?
That He, being innocent, might be condemned by the temporal judge, and thereby deliver us from the severe judgment of God, to which we were exposed.
39. Is there anything more in His having been “crucified” than if He had suffered some other death?
Yes, for thereby I am assured that He took upon Himself the curse which lay upon me, because the death of the cross was accursed of God.
Apostle’s Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only-begotten Son, our Lord: who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From there He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy, universal Christian church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
Every Knee Shall Bow!
Philippians 2:9-11
1. The crucified, risen and ascended Lord who has supremacy over all creation!
A. He has the name above all others!
B. He is the one all shall bow to and confess as Lord, all to the glory of God!
2. Christ being exalted, must propel us to humble service to Christ and in all of our life and encourage us in trials!
