Recap of 4/28/13 (John
20:30-21:14):
1. “I know that today there
are many people who say, ‘If only I could see Him, if only I could touch Him,
then I would believe.’ The problem is
not with the lack of available evidence of the death and resurrection. The problem is in the human heart. The Gospel is a record of
signs—evidences—which the reader must weigh.
Its aim is to lead us to faith in Christ because in Him alone can we find
life.” (Author Unknown).
2. The Bible is a book of
evidences. Faith is not a leap in the
dark but a firm commitment to the evidence presented in the Biblical record,
especially concerning the nature, life, ministry, death and resurrection of
Jesus Christ.
3. “Unless Jesus Christ has
invaded your life, you are lost in your sins: without God, without life,
without hope of heaven. Becoming a
Christ is not simply joining a church, signing a card, or walking an aisle….
true faith comes as a result of believing on Jesus Christ, God’s Son, to solve
your sin problem. It is trusting Him to
do something for you that you cannot do yourself. Have you done that? If not …open your heart to the Savior, Jesus
Christ.” (Walk Thru One-Year Bible)
4. “Nowadays we drive and
plan and put on courses galore trying to get Christians to do what should be
their natural practice, not only with regard to reaching the lost, but with
regard to church attendance, tithing, missions, and all other phases of
service. All of this should be
spontaneous expression of our love for Christ and others.” (Vance Havner)
