If a man makes a great claim about himself, he should be ready to present evidence to back up his claim. In John 5:17-47, Jesus made the most astonishing claims imaginable for a human being. By his own admission, if he alone held this opinion of himself, we should not believe him. Therefore, he backed up his claims with the most expert witnesses possible. For this reason, we can believe him. (full sermon notes)
Sooner or later every kingdom that opposes God will be “all gone,” but there is a kingdom that will not pass away.
When we fulfill the roles assigned to us by God, both children and parents end up happier.
Because of God’s work of salvation in us, we need to work out our salvation.
