JOHN 14:18-29
Pastor Rick
Jackson
I. FRET
NOT – HE LOVES YOU
1. He Wants
You [Acts 17:30, 2 PT. 3:9 – the example of Zaccheus, Saul, Judas]
- And the
times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where
to repent:
-The Lord is
not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is
longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all
should come to repentance.
2. He Died
for You [Is. 53:6, 1 Corinthians 15:3, 2 Corinthians 5:14-15]
- All we
like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the
LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
-For I
delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ
died for our sins according to the scriptures;
-For the
love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for
all, then were all dead: And that he died for all, that they which live should
not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose
again.
3. He Lives
For You [John 14:19, Hebrews 7:25]
- Yet a
little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye
shall live also.
- Wherefore
he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing
he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
II. FAINT
NOT – HE HOLDS YOU [Ps. 139]
1. He Knows
Who You Are [v. 1-6, John 10:27]
- My sheep
hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
2. He Knows
Where You Are [v. 7-12, Job 23:10]
- But he
knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
3. He Holds
You [v. 10, Jn. 6:37-40]
- All that
the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no
wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the
will of him that sent me. And this is the Father's will which hath sent me,
that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son,
and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the
last day
III. FEAR
NOT – HE KEEPS YOU [Ps. 121]
1. He Will
Help You [v. 1-2, Psalm 54:4, Hebrews 13:5-6]
- Behold,
God is mine helper
- Let your
conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye
have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we
may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do
unto me.
2. He Will
Keep You [v. 3-6, 1 Pet. 1:3-5]
Blessed be
the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant
mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus
Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that
fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of God
through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
3. He Will
Preserve You [v. 7-8, 2 Tm. 4:18] shamar- to hedge about (as with thorns)
-And the
Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his
heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
