A Deliverer is Coming Fourth Sunday of Kiahk January 4, 2009 Luke 1:57-80

He came to deliver me “…for He has visited and redeemed His people, and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of His servant David…that we should be saved from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us, to perform the mercy promised to our fathers…to grant us that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve Him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life.” Luke 1:68-75

He came to deliver me Good news right???

Rejecting the Deliverer “Now there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, saying, “Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!” But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!” Mark 1:23-25

Rejecting the Deliverer “This Moses whom they rejected, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge?’ is the one God sent to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the Angel who appeared to him in the bush.” Acts 7:35

God came to make us sons, not servants “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!” 1 John 3:1

God came to make us sons, not servants “For they are not all Israel who are of Israel, nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, in Isaac your seed shall be called. That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed.” Romans 9:6-8

Don’t reject your Deliverer
