In a world rushing toward judgment, God calls His church to boldly proclaim His gospel message that is both sweet with hope and bitter with judgment.

I. The Messenger’s Glory – 10:1-4.

II. The Messenger’s Oath – 10:5-7.

III. The Messenger’s Scroll – 10:8-11.

“When you digest the gospel and its great truths begin to work in your day to day living, you might too find it a bittersweet experience. In the home, some of your children or your spouse may have never tasted the sweetness of the gospel. It is difficult to be a Christian in that setting, for just by being a believer, you drive a wedge between yourself and those you love. It is utterly impossible to be faithful to Christ without incurring some of the world’s displeasure and contempt.” – Joel Beeke
