HOW SHALL WE ESCAPE IF WE NEGLECT SO GREAT A SALVATION? “MY HANDS ARE TIED!” What Can I Do? “And early in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes, and the whole Council, immediately held a consultation; and binding Jesus, they led Him away, and delivered Him up to Pilate.” (Mark 15:1) “…they bound the hands in the garden where He prayed…” Song: Ten Thousand Angels John 18:12 HOW SHALL WE ESCAPE IF WE NEGLECT SO GREAT A SALVATION? Hebrews 10:29 Hebrews 6:4-6 Hebrews 2:3 Jesus allowed Himself to be bound for us. But He doesn’t want us to bind Him… Have we perhaps bound the hands of Jesus?

Jesus freely paid the price for sins… DON’T GET SUCKED INTO BELIEVING REFUSAL TO OBEY DOESN’T BIND THE HANDS OF JESUS Jesus freely paid the price for sins… Hebrews 2:9; 2Cor. 5:21 John 15:13-14 Hebrews 5:8-9 1Peter 1:22 1Peter 3:21 There Isn’t Much That Can Be Done If One Refuses To Obey

REFUSAL TO BE TRANSFORMED/CHANGED Matthew 11:28-30 “learn” James 1:21 Ephesians 4:20-24 Romans 12:1-2 Complete the process of transformation

How Can We Benefit From Jesus, Who Is Our High Priest, To Utilize Our Relationship To Him In Prayer To The Father, If We Refuse To Pray? Hebrews 2:17-18; Hebrews 4:14-16 There Is Power In Prayer; But You Have To Pray!!! Matthew 7:7-11 If you don’t ask, what can be done? “Now to Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.” Ephesians 3:20-21

“I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth “I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth.” 1Corinthians 3:6 By our refusal to be about “the work”, are we not “binding the hands” of God? 1Corinthains 12:27 “Now you are Christ’s body, and individually members of it.” Ephesians 4:15-16 “From whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by that which every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body…” “Here am I, send me…” (Isaiah 6:8)
