Introduction
Introduction
Attention (Why should they listen to you?) Angie and I just saw “Aladdin” and it was a ton of fun.
Great movie and we really enjoyed ourselves...
What is the Hearer’s problem?
What is the Biblical Solution?
What do the hearers need to know?
Main Textual Idea:
Main Idea: God is no Genie in a Bottle, But He Has Three Wishes for You!
Interrogative: What are those wishes?
Transition: Well, that is what I want to share with you this morning.
Body
1. God’s First Wish For You? “The Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ!”
Lead in...What is the tension here?
You know, when it comes to wishes we tend to want those things that are temporal and that which gives fleeting satisfaction.
In other words when we rub the magic lamp, we ask for things like money, power, a cool car, whatever!
But have you ever considered what God wishes for you?
That His wishes might be far better for us than we could ever imagine?
Better than any wish we could wish for ourselves.
And here, Paul, at the end of this letter to the church in Corinth, a church riddled with challenges and problems, he ends this letter with three beautiful wishes or desires for his dear friends.
Three wishes we would do well to pay attention to ourseves
And the first wish, if you fully understand it, is far better than gold, diamonds, power or prestige.
Look again closely at the first wish Paul gives to his dear friend in Corinth as he closes out this important letter...
2 Cor
Explanation - “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ...”
First, I want you to notice something very significant.
I want to you see that in this one verse we see the Son of God, the Father God and the Spirit of God.
For those naysayers that that claim their is no evidence for the Trinity in the Bible, should, first and foremost, underline this passage in their bible.
And in this depiction of the trinity, the firs person of the trinity we see is Jesus Himself.
Now, notice what His title is.
Paul calls Him “the LORD JESUS CHRIST”
Now if you will indulge me for a minute, let’s take a look at each of these words.
LORD - κύριος “Lord, master, ruler Yahweh!”
JESUS - Ἰησοῦς “Joshua, God saves!”
CHRIST - Χριστός “Be rubbed on” “Anointed one”
Now, what sense do you get when you put these three words together?
Well, the sense I get it that Jesus is not simply a meek and mild pushover who is a pile of love mush that lets people walk all over Him and do anything they want to Him
NO!!!
He is the MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE
He is the SAVIOR OF GOD!!
He is the ANOINTED KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS!
1-1
This is who Jesus Christ is today!
Certainly He was born a helpless baby, certainly He grew up like any other little boy.
Certainly He was killed by Roman soldiers because of the power-mongering , bloodthirsty Jewish leadership.
But make no mistake, friends, Jesus Christ was no victim.
He went to the cross willingly, purposely, intentionally for one purpose and one purpose only - You!
In fact, if you look back at verse 14, you will see one of the most beautiful words in all of Scripture - GRACE!
This is Paul’s first wish for you!
That you would experience “The GRACE of the Lord Jesus Christ...”
What is grace?
Grace, by its very definition is “Undeserved favor.”
It is getting something you do not deserve.
Do you know what you do not deserve?
Heaven!
The bible says that you have fallen short of obtaining heaven because you have broken God’s law over and over!
You have lied, your have cheated, you have committed adultery either physically or in your heart.
You and I are sinners and sinners are criminals that deserve a jail sentence.
God’s jail sentence is is a real place called hell.
Did you know the bible talks more about hell than it does about heaven?
It is a real place that real people will spend a real eternity UNLESS they avail themselves to the GRACE of God!
Remember the definition of Grace?
Undeserved favor.
Did you know that the GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ provides you with the opporitunity to trade places with Jesus Christ!
Yes!
This is what the bible teaches...
2 Cor 5:
What this means is that God’s Son willingly sacrificing himself on the cross satisfies God’s wrath an punishment against you and you, because of Christ’s death on the cross can go free.
That’s right!
You no longer need to pay the penalty of eternal death in hell IF by faith you trust that Jesus’s work on the cross is sufficiently to cancel or pay for the debt you so desperately need to pay.
Why would the LORD JESUS CHRIST have this wish for you?
Grace!
Illustration - A Gift is given with no strings attached.
Argumentation - Who do you think Jesus is?
Why would he substitute His life for yours?
Application - I’m going to ask you a very forward question this morning.
Are you a Christian?
How do you know?
What is keeping you from taking advantagage of a gift s amazing you could never possibly repay.
1 Amazing grace!
how sweet the sound,
  That saved a wretch; like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
  Was blind, but now I see.
Amazing grace!
how sweet the sound,
  That saved a wretch; like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
  Was blind, but now I see.
2 ’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
  And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
  The hour I first believed!
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
  And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
  The hour I first believed!
3 The Lord hath promised good to me,
  His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
  As long as life endures.
