Transcript of Sprh goodbye
Friends, this world is not your home, so don’t make yourselves cozy in it. I Peter 2:11
A letter’s Greeting and Salutation tell us a
great deal.
Tell us about the person and in this case about
their God.
Saying good-bye is not easy, but it is inevitable in
our lives.
If saying Good-bye is hard for you, Peter gives us three qualities of a
good Good-bye that are a reflection of our spiritual
walk.
Three Qualities of a Good Good-bye1. Know the value of
silver and gold.2. Stand on Grace3. Build bridges not
walls
Knowing the value of silver and gold.
Make new friends and keep the old one is
silver the other gold.
By Silva′nus, a faithful brother as I regard him, I
have written briefly to you…
Silvan’us = true silver
Stand in Grace
I have written briefly to you, exhorting and
declaring that this is the true grace of God; stand
fast in it.
Peter knew well the gift of grace.
Grace = Getting what we do not deserve.
Jesus would not say Good-bye to Peter until
he gave him grace.
Every other world religion is based upon some sort
of Karma Condition.
Not so with you.
BONO (U2)You see, at the center of all religions is the idea of Karma. You know, what you put out comes back
to you… But Jesus comes along…
…With this idea called Grace to upend all that.
Grace defies human reason and logic…which in my case is very good news indeed, because I’ve done a lot of stupid
stuff.
God’s most dangerous doctrine.
Always say good-bye in Grace – You have it all
over you! You wallow in it,Now give it freely!
Build Bridges not walls
John Mark a double deserter
