Yo!!! Welcome to WonbyOne. 08-09!!!!!!! We're extremely excited about this year, and are ready for fun times, great worship, and learning from God's word!!! We hope you're as excited as we are!
From this past Friday, we were in John 19:17-30, the cricifixion account in the gospel of John! We saw that at the cross, even though it was painful, gory, very sad and extremely evil; God's sovereign plan, decreed in eternity past was in perfect harmony with the events that took place!!! In fact, we said that the climax of human history took place as the incarnate second member of the Trinity died on the cross!!! God's grace for sinners through Christ was fully revealed, and the world was ready for the gospel!!! And God had prepared the known world for the preaching of the gospel! We looked at 5 of God's accomplishments that prepared the world for the preaching of the gospel:
1) The rise of the Roman Empire. No borders to cross, no language barriers for Greek was the dominantly used language in normal social interation, and a highway system that made getting around much easier (unless the disciples drove a Jeep).
2)The rejection of the Messiah by the Jewish religious leaders!!!
3)All prophesy related the Messiah's first coming, and crucifixion, satisfied literally!!!
4)A perfectly sinless human life (Jesus Christ's) for God to credit to sinners!!!
5)Definite attonement!!! God forgives sin, but He is just, and His perfect holy wrath was demonstrated on the cross, as Jesus Christ bore the guilt of the sin of all those who would ever be saved!!!!!
Looking forward to Friday!!! See you then!!!
