Sermon Tone Analysis

The Resurrection

It is Easter Sunday.

The day we celebrate the day that Jesus was risen from the dead.

More than Easter Eggs, and bunny rabbits.

But you can’t talk about the resurrection with out talking about the crucifixion.

Friday Night we watched the Passion of the Christ.

But their belief doesn’t call for any action.

If you believe the earth isn’t round, based on that belief you don’t have to change the way you live, ride, interact with people.

Contrast that with belief every firearm is loaded

1st Rule of Gun Safety

Treat every gun as if it is loaded.

To hold that belief it demand that you act a certain way when handling a firearm.

Yes, its hypocritical.

But thats not the really bad part is it?

The bad part is you may shoot yourself or someone else.

Danny Stallings Story

Danny wasn’t worried about being called a hypocrite as much as he was worried about the blood gushing out of his hand.

These Jews in Egypt held a belief that God was who He said he was and would do what he said he would do.

That belief required some action.

It didn’t matter how well they had worshiped God or how bad they had failed in the past.

It didn’t matter that they were God’s chosen people.

It didn’t matter who their Father and Mother were.

It didn’t matter how much they had helped the poor.

It didn’t even matter that they said that they believed God.

What mattered at that very moment was did they apply the blood?

Did they apply the blood?

calls Jesus the Lamb unblemished and spotless.

says about Jesus : For Christ our Passover has been sacrificed.

when John the Baptist saw Jesus coming toward him in he said, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”

Jesus was beaten, mocked, scourged, hung on a cross and killed as the sacrificial lamb so that if we will believe and apply the blood of Christ to the doorpost of our heart, that we might escape the Judgement of God that we rightly deserve.

It doesn’t matter if your parents were Christians, It doesn’t matter that you’ve gone to church your whole life.

It doesn’t matter that you cook at rides or stand in front of the coolest people on the planet and preach about Jesus.

It doesn’t matter what you say you believe.

What will matter on the day of Judgement is have you applied the blood?

HAVE YOU APPLIED THE BLOOD?

I neither have the authority nor the inclination to judge weather someone has been saved.

Saint’s and Sinners have a patch that says, “Only God can Judge.”

When it comes to someones salvation, I agree completely.

But rest assured God Will Judge.

Weigh the good vs. the Bad.

The real question will be have your accepted Christ.

BUT DON’T FOOL YOURSELF

Matthew

But you can know.

1 John

What he wrote was:

Have you applied the blood?

If you can answer yes then heres the good part.

Exodus

See it is the application of the blood that saves us from judgement, but on the other side of the blood brings deliverance.

For the Jews in Egypt it was the to the promised land.

Which was a picture of what we receive through Christ which is eternal life.

We celebrate easter because through the cross, we have forgiveness of sin, and through the resurrection we have eternal life.
