Sword of the Spirit, Part 1c
April 16, 2012
Is Christ your all-in-all? Do you have a passion for him? Or are you caught up in religion instead of relationship? Get into the Word, and let Jesus get into your heart. We need to pursue a personal relationship with Him rather than focusing on the nitty-gritty aspects of man-made religion.

Sadly, our nation today is in the middle of a spiritual famine. People “talk the talk,” but don’t truly love the Lord or follow His Word. Instead they place a priority on earthly goods. Here, Pastor Jeff reminds us of the importance of putting on Jesus. When we receive Him, we are beyond the reach of the world and its material riches.

With God’s armor, every part of our body is protected. Isaiah 54:17 says, “No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper. And every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment God shall condemn.” Put your eyes on the Lord, trust Him, and He will always give you victory.

Easter is a time to remember that Jesus lives! He suffered on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins, but now He sits at the right hand of God.

In taking communion, we remember Christ’s sacrifice. Today, Pastor Jeff reminds us how important this sacrament really is. We must approach it with sincerity, examining our hearts to make sure that we are holy before the Lord. Paul warns us against taking communion lightly so that we do not eat and drink judgment to ourselves.

At Easter time, we recall Christ’s crucifixion. The one word that should come to mind is “love.” Romans 5:8 says, “God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Christ knew that our sins required His death in order to be paid for, and He surrendered His own will to the will of the Father.

As we continue studying Luke 19, Pastor Jeff reveals how important it is that Christ chose to ride a donkey because it shows several key things. Jesus’ upbringing was meek and lowly. He experienced the temptations and problems that we experience. Christ intimately knows our struggles and human weaknesses.

Pastor Jeff encourages us to be filled with knowledge. Christ’s actions here fulfilled many prophecies; but sadly, the people didn’t realize that these prophecies were being fulfilled in their very presence! They were ignorant. God demands that we know His Word in order that we might be ready for His coming.
