Parts Of God's Plan 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 I. To Deliver It, You Must Receive It. v.3a II To Receive It, You Must Believe It. v.3b III. To Believe It, You Must Hear It. vs.1-2

The Messiah's message set's men free. It gives joy! And, it brings great glory to God!

Real joy and deep peace are not found in circumstances, possessions, or personality. Instead, they flow from trusting in Christ. Paul prayed that "the God of hope" will fill believers "with all joy and peace in believing." As we rest our complete confidence in the finished work of Christ, God Himself will pour joy into troubled hearts and peace into anxious minds. Faith is the channel, not the cause; God is the source, Christ is the ground, and the Holy Spirit the One who makes these blessings real in our experience, enabling us to "abound in hope" even in hard times.

Zaburi 22:1–21 inatufundisha kwamba hata waamini waaminifu wanaweza kupitia nyakati za maumivu, huzuni, na kuonekana kana kwamba Mungu yuko mbali. Mtunga zaburi anamweleza Mungu kwa uaminifu jinsi anavyohisi, lakini bado hakati tamaa wala kuacha kumtegemea. Hili linatukumbusha kuwa tunapaswa kumimina mioyo yetu mbele za Mungu katika kila hali, tukijua kwamba Anasikia kilio cha watu wake hata kama jibu Lake linaonekana kuchelewa. Aidha, kifungu hiki kinatufundisha kudumu katika imani na tumaini licha ya upinzani, mateso, au dhihaka kutoka kwa wengine. Maelezo mengi katika Zaburi hii pia yanatabiri mateso ya Yesu Kristo, yakionyesha kwamba mpango wa Mungu wa wokovu ulikuwa umekwisha kupangwa tangu zamani. Hivyo, waamini wanahimizwa kumtegemea Mungu kikamilifu, wakiamini kwamba baada ya kipindi cha majaribu, Mungu ataleta ukombozi, ushindi, na kutimiza makusudi yake kwa wakati wake.

3 John 1-7 (KJV) The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth. 2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth. 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. 5 Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers; 6 Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well: 7 Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
