Matthew 25:31-46
What does this have to do with me?

1. The point of life in Christ is to feature the mercy of God in Christ. So, we must build our lives on the mercies of God. That’s why we exist.
2. If we are the true church, and true disciples of Jesus, mercy must flow toward Christ Followers or we are self-deceived.
3. If we are the true church we will show mercy to people far from God so they might come to know Christ.

The future is now and we want to be ready.

About the Future

Onward to Galilee

A Sheep Gate, A Pool, and Walkways

When Jesus heals this man and intentionally does it on the Sabbath, He is showing us something about himself.

The World that is Coming

Someday we will be raised from the dead. Our deteriorated bodies will respond to the voice of the Son of God. We will rise from the dead and face Him and He will look at our lives for evidence that we were living for Jesus. He will be looking to see if we have been bearing the fruit of love.

Jesus Has Power

Jesus came to set us free from the slavery of approval and the praise of others.

Relentless Impeachment

The measure of truly knowing God, honoring God, and loving God is knowing, honoring, and loving Jesus for who He really is.

The Testimony about Me is True

In this miracle of taking five loaves, a few fish, and feeding over five thousand people, Jesus opens up a window about who He is. He doesn’t do this so we might get excited about getting what we want, but that we might see that he is better than anything we ever wanted.

Trying to Feed on the Wrong Thing

Bread in the Boat

Jesus offers himself to us as the food that is eternal. No amount of working for God can get us to eternity. He is free. He does the work needed on the cross. All we can do is eat, or, believe, and live. And this becomes the treasure that dominates our heart, Jesus. He changes everything.
