Elijah? Matthew 17:10-13
Introduction • Where are we? • The Transfiguration just occurred • God spoke to Peter, James, and John about Jesus being the Son of God
What is the Elijah prophecy? • Elijah never died – assumed into Heaven • Elijah’s return in Malachi • Mal. 4:5 “Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the LORD. 6 “He will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, so that I will not come and smite the land with a curse.” • The Day of the LORD
Why did Jesus say Elijah came as John the Baptist? • The return of Elijah can be that Elijah’s mission had returned, not in the flesh. • Restoring the Hearts – turning people back to God • A turned heart looks to find God • If your heart is turned to God, you will find Jesus
For us Today • The disenfranchised Christian • The non-believer • Find out why the entryway is not there • Make an entryway into the soul
