15…sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready 1 Peter 3 (NKJV) 15…sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;

Christ in Every Book of the Bible  In Genesis, He is the Creator & promised Redeemer Exodus – the Passover Lamb Leviticus – High Priest Numbers – water in the desert Deuteronomy – He becomes the curse for us Malachi – sun of righteousness who brings healing…   In Matthew, He is the Messiah who is King Mark – the Messiah who is a Servant Luke – the Messiah who is a Deliverer John – the Messiah who is a God in the flesh… Revelation – King of Kings and Lord of Lords, The Alpha and the Omega, The Beginning and the End, and He is coming again and the One who makes all things new.

He Has Done Great Things… …at creation …throughout Scripture …in our lives He will continue to do great things in the future

He Has Done Great Things… …at creation

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1  In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.  2 The earth was without form, and void;

…and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

3 Then God said… 6 Then God said… 9 Then God said… 11 Then God said…

14 Then God said… 20 Then God said… 24Then God said

26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;

The heavens declare the glory of God; 2 Day unto day utters speech, Psalm 19 The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. 2 Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge.

3 There is no speech nor language Where their voice is not heard. 4 Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world.

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven… Romans 1 (NKJV) 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven… 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.

so that they are without excuse, 20 For since the creation of the world  His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made,  even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 

He Has Done Great Things… …at creation …in Scripture

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, Psalm 137 (NKJV)  By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept when we remembered Zion. 2 We hung our harps upon the willows in the midst of it.

3 For there those who carried us away captive asked of us a song, And those who plundered us requested mirth, Saying, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”

4 How shall we sing the Lord’s song In a foreign land? 5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, Let my right hand forget its skill!

Let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth— 6 If I do not remember you, Let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth— If I do not exalt Jerusalem Above my chief joy.

When the Lord brought back We were like those who dream. Psalm 126 (NKJV) When the Lord brought back  the captivity of Zion, We were like those who dream. 2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing.

Then they said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.”

3 The Lord has done great things for us, and we are glad. 4 Bring back our captivity, O Lord, As the streams in the South.

5 Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy.

6 He who continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing,

“Oh, how my soul praises the Lord. Luke 1 “Oh, how my soul praises the Lord. 47 How my spirit rejoices in God my Savior! 48 For He took notice of His lowly servant girl, and from now on all generations will call me blessed.

49 For the Mighty One is holy, and He has done great things for me. 50 He shows mercy from generation to generation to all who fear Him.

54 He has helped His servant Israel and remembered to be merciful. 55 For He made this promise to our ancestors,     to Abraham and His children forever.”

3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: 1 Corinthians 15 (NKJV) 3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins  according to the Scriptures… 

and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day  according to the Scriptures,

He Has Done Great Things… …at creation …in Scripture …in our lives

to give a defense to everyone who asks you 1 Peter 3 (NKJV) 15…always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;

Creation shows the power of God There's glory all around and those who see must stand in awe,  For miracles abound. 

I cannot doubt the work of God, It's plain for all to see:   The miracles that He has wrought  Should lead to Calvary. 

The love of God! O power divine! 'Tis wonderful to see   The miracle of grace performed  With-in the heart of me.   

I believe in miracles I've seen a soul set free Miraculous the change in one  redeemed through Calvary;

I've seen the lily push its way up through the stubborn sod I believe in miracles for  I believe in God!

He Has Done Great Things… …at creation …in Scripture …in our lives He will continue to do great things in the future

I go to prepare a place for you. John 14 (NKJV) I go to prepare a place for you.  3 And if I go and prepare a place for you,  I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also…

54 Then, when our dying bodies 1 Corinthians 15 (NLT) 54 Then, when our dying bodies have been transformed into bodies that will never die,  this Scripture will be fulfilled:

“Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?”

He Has Done Great Things… What Next? He Has Done Great Things…

He Has Done Great Things… What Next? He Has Done Great Things… …at creation …in Scripture …in your life He will continue to do great things in the future

in his own eyes, but the Lord Proverbs 16 2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the Lord  weighs the spirits.

4 The Lord has made all for Himself, Yes, even the wicked… 3 Commit your works to the Lord, And your thoughts will be established. 4 The Lord has made all for Himself, Yes, even the wicked…

9 A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps.

I Know Who Holds The Future

I don't know about tomorrow I just live for day to day I don't borrow from the sunshine For it's skies may turn to gray

I don't worry o'er the future For I know what Jesus said And today I'll walk beside Him For He knows what lies ahead

Many things about tomorrow I don't seem to understand But I know who holds tomorrow And I know who holds my hand

Ev'ry step is getting brighter As the golden stairs I climb Ev'ry burden's getting lighter Ev'ry cloud is silver lined

There the sun is always shining There no tear will dim the eye At the ending of the rainbow Where the mountains touch the sky

Many things about tomorrow I don't seem to understand But I know who holds tomorrow And I know who holds my hand

Isaiah 12 4“Thank the Lord! Praise His name! Tell the nations what He has done.     Let them know how mighty He is!

For He has done wonderful things. Make known His praise 5 Sing to the Lord, For He has done wonderful things. Make known His praise around the world.
