Sermon Notes

Isaiah 52
2 Corinthians 5

Lords prayer
– Always pray about certain things
– Not just words
– Remember who youre praying to and what He has done for you

Its about who Jesus is

Jesus provided for them on their short earlier missions
– But now the times are changing

Swords
– Real or metaphor?
– Church doesnt advance thru violence in NT
– Not real swords – just imagery to be prepared

Disciples missed v37
– OT was about Jesus
– All wrath of God fulfilled at cross

My story wont save anybody; the Gospel will.

Isaiah 52 & 53

Why was He ‘counted w/ criminals’
– Sinless but became sin itself
– We become righteous b/c of Jesus took our sin

We sin b/c we are sinners

Realize our sin n turn to the cross

Bible Verses

35 And he said to them, “When I sent you out with no moneybag or knapsack or sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.” 36 He said to them, “But now let the one who has a moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one. 37 For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in me: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors.’ For what is written about me has its fulfillment.” 38 And they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” And he said to them, “It is enough.”

— Luke 22:35-38
