HE’S ALIVE…
I’M FORGIVEN…
HEAVENS GATES ARE OPENED WIDE…
This morning I have three powerful truths that can shake you to the depths of your souls:
I. THINE IS THE KINGDOM – WHICH MEANS – HE’S ALIVE
II. THINE IS THE POWER – WHICH MEANS – I AM FORGIVEN
IV.THINE IS THE GLORY FOREVER – WHICH MEANS – HEAVEN IS OPEN.
FIRST OF ALL,
• the Kingdom needs a cross.
• The rebellion needs a conclusion.
• The promise needs fulfillment.
• Join me on a journey that starts at the site of the curse, the serpent, the sin and the fall.
Look with me into the garden, Eden’s delight, where death, pain, sorrow and decay all find their corrupt and slimy birth from the whisper of a dragon, the devil of old, our adversary, Satan.
• God pronounced the curse that would stalk the covenant for all time:
• Eve was tempted and Adam fell, but the seed was promised to crush the serpent.
• Abel was murdered, Cain was marked and the race was drowned because it was beyond hope, but Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
• The world united in religion against God so at Babel he confounded the languages, but He chose Abraham and the struggle intensified.
• The 12 tribes were corrupted and the true worship apostatized and God was silent for 400 years.
• The Promised Seed was born and the babies were murdered.
• The Christ was tempted in person by the dragon slanderer and murderous liar, but Jesus was triumphant.
• His ministry was dogged with false accusations and death threats, but He did not look away.
• Gethsemane was like a second Garden of Eden. The snake dripped venom again and the Savior sweat blood. But, he didn’t turn back.
And then, on Calvary’s Hill, He died…at last did Satan, the murderer, win? Was the Promised Seed done, the covenant over?
NO, HE’S ALIVE!
THE TOMB IS EMPTY!
THE REBELLION IS CRUSHED.
When you say “Thine is the kingdom, you are saying He’s Alive. The Resurrection is like the first day of a new creation.
