  5. Death, Burial & Resurrection What Jesus Did For Us • Jesus is our revelation Jesus reveals to us what God is like -God’s wrath & God’s love -Justice -Mercy -Holiness -Compassion

  6. Death, Burial & Resurrection Our answer to what Jesus did for us Galatians 2: 20 “ I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”

  7. Death, Burial & Resurrection Our answer to what Jesus did for us Obeying His commands - How we deal with our enemies. Matthew 5:44 - How we deal with others. Matthew 22:39 - When some one wrongs youMatthew 18: 15-17

  8. Unique Stages In Jesus’ Life • Jesus, before He became flesh John 1:1-3 • Jesus, God with us in the flesh John 1:14, Phil. 2:5-8 • Jesus, the guest of Paradise Luke 23:43 • Jesus, the risen Lord. 1 Cor. 15:20 • Jesus, the merciful high priest. Heb. 2:17; 7:25-26 • Jesus, the righteous judge. 2 Cor. 5:10 • Jesus, the submissive Son. 1 Cor. 15:27-28

  9. The Identity of Jesus Jesus was Jesus… and still is In His mother’s womb Matthew 1:21 Last hours of His life. Matthew 27:37 Jesus was Jesus in lifeMatthew 16:16 Jesus was Jesus in death. 1 Corinthians 15:3 Jesus will be Jesus on the Judgment Day Acts 1:11

  10. Jesus Talks to Us John 14:2 Mansions should be “dwelling places” Latin word, mansiones, meant “living places”. Notice Jesus says that He “prepares a place”

  11. A Place For Us “ A prepared place for a prepared people” -There will be nothing second rate about the place He is preparing. - God knows us best. He knows what gives us joy & happiness.

  12. The Resurrection Few people in our modern society understand what the resurrection is and how it fits into God’s plan for humanity. Paul and Agrippa II - Acts 26:8, Acts 26:22-23 The Apostles - Acts 4:33

  13. The Resurrection Rasmussan Poll, 2012 77% of Americans believed in the Resurrection. April, 2013 – The poll showed 64% Scripts Survey Research Center 36 out of 1007 Adults (April 2006) believed in the ressurection.

  14. The Resurrection -Our hope is in an empty tomb. -Great and prominent men have died, but Jesus lives. John 19, 20

  15. The Resurrection • We are connected with Jesus and His resurrection. Romans 6: 1-11 1 Peter 3:21 John 11:25

  16. Wrong Attitude This kind of attitude separates us from the resurrection and the hope of heaven. “ Water baptism is not necessary for salvation, but I have found that it is essential for growth and maturity.” - Jim Wright, crossroadsjunction.com

  17. The Right Attitude “There is also an antitype which now saves us- baptism….” 1 Peter 3:21 “arise and be baptized and wash away your sins”…Acts 22:16 “For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ”. Galatians 3:27

  18. Jesus, Our Judge Jesus is in a position to say if someone is going to heaven or not. 2 Corinthians 5: 9,10 Our job is to teach the way to heaven. Matthew 28: 16-20

  19. The Word of God Judges Us John 1:14 John 12:48 – 50 James 1:21-25 Hebrews 4:1-2 1 Thessalonians 2:13

  20. Jesus Had a Purpose From the beginning, Jesus had a purpose to His life. Hebrews 5:9 Luke 4:43 Hebrews 9:26 Acts 20:28 1 Peter 1:20 Luke 19:10 1 Tim. 1:15 Romans 5: 8

  21. What is your purpose? We can put our faith into the wrong things which clouds our sense of purpose. • Money • Relationships • Jobs • Entertainment

  22. You can’t live faithfully outside the Word of God. Many people think of themselves as religious and “good with God.” But they do not know His word. USA Today – Average score- 50% Gallop poll - Less than 50% of teens Other Bible polling can be found at At Americanbible.org. “Barna Group, state of the Bible”

  23. Awesome Discussion Questions and Interesting Remarks • What purpose do you have? • How does LTWG fit in? • How do we keep our priorities straight? • Are the terms, “Jesus is our judge”, and “the word of God judges us”, synonymous?
