Let’s compare and contrast Modern Jesus with Biblical Jesus:
Preaches only on love…Preaches God’s Righteousness
Gives you health and wealth…Gives Salvation, Hope, Peace, and Joy
Never says anything negative…Warns of Sin, Judgement, and Hell
Serves your will, not God’s will…Exalts God the Father’s Will
Hates to offend you or others…Offends the World with the Truth
Charles Spurgeon: “In the grave he was like the sun in his winter solstice but he crossed the line in his resurrection. He has brought us all the hopes of spring and is bringing us the joys of summer. He is quickening many at this hour and will yet quicken myriads. This is the power with which the missionary goes forth to sow; this is the power in which the preacher at home continues to scatter the seed. The risen Christ is the great producer of harvests. By the power of his resurrection men and women are raised from their death in sin to eternal life.”
THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISION YOU’LL EVER MAKE IS THAT DECISION WHICH DETERMINES YOUR ETERNAL DESTINY.
Luke 6:46-49
Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones: “THE BIBLE HAS NO COMFORT WHATSOEVER TO GIVE TO PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT CHRISTIANS – NONE AT ALL. EXCEPT TO WARN THEM TO FLEE FROM THE WRATH TO COME.”
R.C. Sproul: “Why do bad things happen to good people? That only happened once and He volunteered.”
“Nothing will humble you more than coming to grips with the reality that you had absolutely nothing to do with your salvation. From beginning to end it was all of grace and solely depended upon God freely choosing to have mercy on you, a sinner.”
DEATH WAS PROOF THAT JESUS WAS HUMAN. RESURRECTION WAS PROOF THAT HE IS GOD.

Luke 6:46-49
Hebrews 9:27-28
John 20:11-18

SOLI DEO GLORIA…To the Glory of God Alone
