The making of a legacy Good Friday – 4/22/11
Everyone’s desire • If you’ve done it right • If you’ve done it wrong • We all desire to leave a legacy
If Friday wasn’t good • What would the legacy have looked like if He wasn’t resurrected? • Would His life made a difference in many? • Would humanity be better as a result? • Did He fulfill His mission even before His victory over death, hell, and the grave? • Luke 4:18-19
Through Mary and Martha’s eyes • Helped Martha realize there was more to life than serving • Became a close friend of the family of Lazarus, Mary, and Martha • Was there for them during their time of hurt • Raised Lazarus from the dead • Luke 10:38-42 and John 11:1-44
From Malchus’ perspective • He was part of the mob that was going to take Jesus captive • You ever find yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time because of someone else’s mistake? • Jesus met him with compassion (and his ear), and healed him
Through the centurion's eyes • His extra level of faith became an avenue by which Jesus would show many His power • As a centurion, he was allied with who some would have perceived to be Jesus enemy (the Roman government) • His servant was paralyzed and tormented • Real life example – Jack Harris in Iraq
What about the others? • To those with demonic possession? • To those who could not see? • To those who could not walk? • To those who saw themselves as hopeless? • To those who were hungry? • To those who were lost?
What does your legacy look like? • Can people tell the Spirit of the Lord is upon you? • Do you preach the gospel to the poor? • Do you seek out the broken hearted to offer healing? • Do you proclaim liberty to the captives • Do you proclaim sight to the blind? (Physically and Spiritually) • Do you pray and intercede for those who are oppressed? • Do you proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord?
But Friday was Good! • Example of the bird in Yosemite National Forest • He not only did those things Himself, but appointed us to do them as well • He appointed His disciples to: • Mark 3:14 • Luke 10:8-10 • Matthew 28:18-20

Above All v1 Above all powers Above all kings Above all nature And all created things
PreC Above all wisdom And all the ways of man You were here Before the world began
Ch Above all kingdoms Above all thrones Above all wonders The world has ever known
v2 Above all wealth And treasures of the earth There’s no way To measure what Your worth
PreC Crucified And laid behind a stone You lived to die Rejected and alone
Ch Like a rose Trampled on the ground You took the fall And thought of me Above all

The Wonderful Cross When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of Glory died My richest gain I count but loss And pour contempt on all my pride
Oh the wonderful cross Oh the wonderful cross Bid me come and die And find that I May truly live
Forbid it Lord that I should boast Save in the death of Christ my God All the vain things that charm me most I sacrificed them to His blood
Oh the wonderful cross Oh the wonderful cross Bid me come and die And find that I May truly live
Were the whole realm of nature mine That were an offering far too small Love so amazing, so divine Demands my soul my life my all
Oh the wonderful cross Oh the wonderful cross Bid me come and die And find that I May truly live
Oh the wonderful cross Oh the wonderful cross All who gather here By grace draw near And bless Your Name
