John 1:1-14
Communion is about why Jesus came and why he died.
Jesus was God and God made everything. Our very breath
depends on God. He is our battery and our source.
John 19:1-23
Jesus was crucified for our sins. They wanted to crucify him which was rejection of Jesus. Willingly rejecting God leads to our judgment.
Did God die for nothing? Is it o.k. for you to stay in your sins knowing that he died for you?
Hebrews 10:23-40
God can’t do anything more for you to make you want to live for him because he gave his life for you. If you
sin against God and reject him you should get scared.
Do you know about God’s goodness, mercy and sacrifce and still reject God?
God is a god of judgment as well as forgiveness.
Vesre 32- the Chrisitian life is about sacrifice. You can’t be concerned about little things because
real Christians were faced with death in the bible.
When you love someone, you find time when you did not have it before. The same applies to doing things for God.
Took joyfully the spoiling of their goods- some people are so worried about their stuff and other things.
Christians are not ruled by anxiety and they are not weak.
Hebrews 12:1-4
Consider Jesus and look to him for your strength. Because you are tired should not be an excuse.
Don’t approach communion lightly, realize how great his love was for you.
2 Corinthians 5:13-15 – Let the love of God control you.
1 John 4:7-21 We should love others because God so loved us.
