Cornerstone Truth

This mornings sermon begins a trilogy of sermons regarding our fellowship with the sufferings of Christ.  Our first sermon is titled, “To Know the Fellowship of His Suffering” and we will examine the Paul’s statement of desiring to know the sufferings of Christ.  We will look at Christ’s suffering and then Paul’s suffering and then answer the question, “What about us?”  Next week we will examine the question “Why?”, why do we want to know the suffering of Christ and why do we want to experience the fellowship of His suffering and death?  Finally, we conclude this trilogy with the question “How?” how can we prepare and endure the sufferings of Christ and His death for the salvation of others according to LORD’s will.

The man and woman of Christ needs to continue daily in being transformed by the renewing of the mind.  The carnal paradigm toward suffering is often avoidance, anger, or bitterness.  The Christian is called to learn and embrace the mindset of Christ with regard suffering.  The Apostle Paul communicates to us three great blessings we can and should embrace as those who have been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb!  Today’s sermon, entitled “Three Great Blessings of Suffering Affliction,” will be found in 2 Corinthians 1:3-11 which describes and illustrates three important blessings that we can embrace if we will walk by faith and not by sight in times of affliction for our faith in Christ.  The first of the three blessings is the sweet fellowship of comfort shared by other saints who have experienced the same sufferings of affliction.  The second great blessing is found in our hope and confidence in Christ as we consider the times He has delivered us in the past and His faithful promise to provide victory in the present and full redemption at the end.  The final sweet blessing of fellowship is found in the faithful prayers of the saints for those experiencing affliction for their faith.  The suffering brother or sister in Christ will experience the giving of praise and thanksgiving for the LORD’s faithfulness in providing for their deliverance through the answered prayers of the saints!

This morning we will discuss how to prepare ourselves for suffering.  We must seek out the principles and practices of the faith who taught about suffering and endured suffering.  We must also realize learning how to suffer and remain faithful in our responses to times of suffering, like anything, involved incremental growth.  Finally, will we examine the Scripture to see what the four steps for growing our faith response looks like when suffering.

This morning we will examine first the answer to the question, Who is this Jesus?  The simple answer is that He is the Christ and the Son of the living God! What does this mean?  We will dig into what the Bible says about the Messiah!  In our second part of the sermon we will consider the statement, “In Him all things hold together.”  Many times throughout the New Testament we hear the words, “In Him…”.  Turning to the words of the Apostle Paul in the Colossian letter we will the critical nature of the concept of “In Him…”.  We will be driven to the conclusion that every moment of our Christian life is dependent up being in Him!

Traditionally, today is called “Palm Sunday” by the masses.  Some call this day the Triumphal Entry of Christ.   Did you know today is the day that Jesus wept over Jerusalem nearly 2,000 years ago.  He wept for those lost souls who would experience the abomination of desolation and then the eternal lake of fire!  Did you also know that Jesus knew of this day and even planned for this day with His Father before the foundation of the world?   The Scriptures reveal Jesus knew 520 years before He would come into the world that on this day He would ride into Jerusalem on a donkey!  Did you also know that nearly 1,000 years before this day came to pass that Jesus foretold His coming into the city of Jerusalem through a prophecy in the Psalm 118 penned by King David?  Did you also know that the LORD Jesus Christ spoke to Moses of this day by way of prophetic utterance in Exodus 12:1-3?  Finally, did you also know that just a few short days before Jesus wept over Jerusalem, weeping for those who would be lost for eternity because of their rejection of who He was and that He came for them as their King and spiritual Deliverer that He wept with those who loved Him!  Today’s sermon is titled, “The Day of Painful Weeping of Our Christ!”  We will examine and answer all these questions Today!

Knowing that suffering is inevitable are you prepared for the many difficulties and challenges that await you in the future?  How will you respond to them?  Will you respond with self control, conviction, and faith that the LORD is sovereign and will provide for you and protect you until He is ready to take you home?  How does a person prepare for the day of the fiery furnace of affliction?  The lesson this morning is designed using the Scriptures to give us God’s answer on how to be prepared for the inevitable.  Let us look at the example of three young men of faith and learn from them.  Then let us turn to the teachings given to the Apostle Paul as he encourages us to be prepared and equipped for every temptation, challenge, or affliction that will come our way.
