Speaker: Bobby McDonald Title: The Cross Puts An End To All Of Our Questions Date: 06/05/2022 Our Goal as Christians is this: To be an exact reflection of Jesus, the Son of God (Romans 8:29) We do this individually by growing in purity in our personal lives (1 John 3:2-3) We do this corporately by becoming fully functioning members of a local Church (Ephesians 4:11-16)

Summary

The central message is that the cross of Jesus Christ ends all questioning about God's character and love. Instead of asking 'why' difficult things happen, believers are called to focus on the overwhelming evidence of God's love demonstrated by sending Jesus as a propitiation for sins. This profound love should motivate believers to live daily lives of surrender and gratitude.

Outline

The message in plain words, in the order it unfolds. Select a time to jump the video to that moment.

Remembering God's love through communionBefore partaking in communion, we reflect on Jesus's death as a reminder of God's great love for us as our foundation.

Overwhelming conquerors in all thingsEven when we face hardship and feel like sheep led to the slaughter, we are overwhelming conquerors because of God's love.

The cross puts an end to every questionInstead of questioning God's goodness during suffering, we look to the cross which answers all our doubts about His character.

How God manifested His loveGod sent His only begotten son into the world as the propitiation for our sins so that we might live through Him.

Real love compared to worldly loveTrue love goes beyond human definitions, involving an intense commitment to the good of others, even our enemies.

A picture of sacrificial loveA story of a mother who willingly accepts a contagious death sentence to be with her dying child serves as a picture of what God did for us.

Changing our perspective on sufferingWhen we gain a larger vision of God's love, our complaints and questions of why change into gratitude for Christ's sacrifice.

Growing in our vision of the FatherLike the prodigal son, our understanding of the Father's love deepens progressively as we draw near and follow Him.
