Transcript of This is the message you€¦ · Scripture: Stephen Ruff Jim Wilmot Children’s Message: Mary Jo...
This is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another.
-1 John 3:11
Suffering Servant:• Isa. 42:1-4• Isa. 49:1-6• Isa. 50:4-9• Isa. 52:13-53:12
Suffering Servant:• Bring justice to the nations• Bruised reed• He will not falter or be discouraged till he
establishes justice on the earth• God formed him in the womb to be his servant• A light for the Gentiles• Offered his back to those who beat him, his
cheeks to those who pulled his beard• Mocking and spitting• His appearance was so disfigured beyond that
of any human being
Suffering Servant:• No beauty or majesty• Despised and rejected by others, a
man of suffering and familiar with pain• Pierced for our transgressions, crushed for our
iniquities• The punishment that brought us peace was on
him, and by his wounds we are healed• He was oppressed and afflicted, punished and
crushed, his life poured out unto death for the sake of others
"You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord,' and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washedyour feet, you should also wash one another's feet. I have set an example that you should do as I have done for you.“
-John 13:13-14
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for one another.
-1 John 3:16
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
-1 John 4:9-10
We love because we deem “the other” worth sacrificing for.
If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good tothose who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you?
Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to themwithout expecting to get anything back.
-Luke 6:32-35
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
-Romans 5:8
