Sermon Notes

waiting
– spend our lives waiting

as we wait for jesus to return
– nothing we can do to affect the timing
– we cant know the timing

v27
jesus returning w/ great glory

what does ‘this generation will not pass away’ mean?
– was jesus wrong?
– israel will not pass away
– jesus was referring to other prophecies, but not his returning
– verses in daniel about jesus returning referring to jesus ascending
– there are difficult things to understand in scripture. we dont just turn the page. seek knowledge

jesus will return. what are we to do?

jesus showed over last days of his life what to do
– prayed to get thru persecution
– subject our will to gods will
– resurrection is a promise for us
– btwn resurrection and ascension Jesus taught

b4 jesus returns, we are to teach ppl about jesus

do all to the glory of god
– if we are in some activity that doesnt, we should question that activity

obedience is our response to our love for jesus
– we dont obey out of fear, we obey out of love

earthly marriage reflects marriage of God and church
– jesus calls us his beloved
– he didnt just say; it was an action, a saving action

its important that ppl hear us say we love god
– but also w/ what we do and who we are

love the lord your god w/ heart, mind, and strength = most important
love your neighbor as yourself

unloving to allow ppl to die in their sin if we can do something about it

making disciples is loving god

when we accept christ he sees us as righteous
