Truth for Today #12: Nehushtan -- Bronze Thing vs. Real Thing
Awake Us Now
In the days of King Hezekiah (~700 BC), people had traded the real thing for a bronze thing. What do you want your grandchildren to cherish -- religious traditions, or the Living God?
info_outlineToday’s message is a continued study of Paul’s farewell words of encouragement and warning to the gathering of church leaders.
Paul shares honestly that he understands his time left on earth is short. He states how he has proclaimed the whole will of God.
What is the Whole Will / Counsel of God?
CREATOR - We and the world are intentionally created by a pure, loving, holy creator who shows us how brilliant a Creator / Designer He is. His design points us right back to Him, our Designer.
CONDITION - Our condition is that - All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. None of us is righteous.
CHRIST - we all need a Savior and that Savior turns our lives around. Christ is the prophesied Messiah:
Deity - God
Death - on the cross for us - paid the price of our sin by taking it on Himself that we might be saved.
Resurrection - His resurrection ensures our victory over death. We will be raised on the last day when He returns.
Returning - He will return and we will have eternal life with Him forever.
Paul encourages the leaders to take care of themselves and the flocks God has given them. They are to be shepherds of the church of God.
Paul warns them of the spiritual war that is all around and to be cautious not to fall prey to the eternal and internal threats against the truth of God’s word.
Paul closes by telling them to be on guard because remaining on guard is a life and death matter. Not just a life and death matter temporally (on this earth). It is a life and death matter eternally! (Our eternal destiny). We must be on guard - in Greek this is one word. That word is AWAKE!
We need to wake up to the truth of what God says in the Bible.
BE AWAKE - be prepared because Jesus is coming back!
He will return, so….
Be awake in prayer
Be awake in faithfulness to God
Do not be deceived!
