Fuge Camp at Liberty University – Day 4 Worship
Luke 24:13-35
The sacrifice of Jesus was never a Plan B to God’s redemptive work. The entire message of the Bible and the complete history of the world is working towards God’s grand conclusion of restoration.
- The sacrifice of Jesus was never a Plan B to God’s redemptive work.
- The Bible is not a collection of disconnected, moralistic stories.
- The Bible is the one overarching narrative of how the cross of Christ will rescue a fallen people.
- God created the heavens and the earth
- Mankind rebelled trying to prove their worth
- Sin escalated to the shedding of blood
- God’s wrath displayed in the form of a flood
- Yet one was blessed to be a blessing
- A nation promised, a Messiah coming
- A people rescued out from slavery
- The Law
given to show their inability - Finally settled into the Promised Land
- Yet the cycle of sin punished again and again
- A kingdom
established, kings took up the crown - Yet the greatest of men still let the people down
- A nation divided while prophets warned in the streets
- Until godless enemies came and administered defeats
- A people in exile suffering with their guilt
- A remnant returns, a city rebuilt
- The people feared if they’d been left on their own
- 400 silent years before the answer was known
- Glory to God and peace upon the earth
- A Savior was given, a virgin gave birth
- God in the flesh lived free from sin
- Jesus conveyed grace and truth from within
- Recognized as teaching with authority
- Despised and rejected by the Pharisees
- Christ crucified on the hill of Calvary
- Exchanged righteousness for our depravity
- Yet on the third day, the Savior would rise
- Commissioned the disciples in his ascent to the sky
- The Holy Spirit empowered, the gospel unashamed
- The Church established, giving everything away
- No amount of persecution could keep the message back
- Paul was converted, proclaimed the faith he attacked
- Among the nations, churches were multiplied
- Letters were sent, doctrine and practice clarified
- A revelation was given for though the future seems grim
- Christ will return and we will be with him
God is on a mission to restore, how will you join him?
