THREE GREATEST ACTIONS

1 JOHN 4:9-14                                                                   

 

Pastor Rick Jackson

 

The three greatest actions. What can they be? Would they be acts of terrorism and/or war--- like Pearl Harbor or 9-11? Would they be war stoppers like Hiroshima or Nagasaki? Would they be moments that transcend war like the first man in space or man walking on the moon? Would they be acts of desperation like when a parent lifts a car off a child through a rush of adrenalin? Though all these may be powerful actions once again the Lord God Almighty would have to take center stage. The three greatest actions? Let us pray and then search the Scriptures together.

 

I. THE FIRST OF THESE THREE GREATEST ACTIONS IS WHEN GOD THE FATHER SENT JESUS

 

1. Great Manifestation [1 Jn. 4:9]

 

2. Great Motivation [1 Jn. 4:10]

 

3. Great Mission [1 Jn. 4:14]

 

II. THE SECOND OF THESE THREE GREATEST ACTIONS IS WHEN GOD THE SON CAME TO EARTH

 

1. The Great Humanity Involved [Phil. 2:2-7]

 

2. The Great Humility Involved [Phil. 2:8]

 

3. The Great Horror involved [Phil. 2:8, 2 Cor. 5:21, Mark 15:34, Ps. 22:1]

 

III. THE THIRD OF THESE THREE GREATEST ACTIONS IS GOD THE SPIRIT’S WORK ON EARTH

 

1. It is a Christ Work [Jn. 1:29-34, 2:11]

 

2. It is a Convicting Work [Jn. 16:7-11]

 

3. It is a Continuing Work [Jn. 7:39, 20:19-22, Gal. 5:16-25]
