6. If I Be Lifted Up Jesus John 12:32 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself. 1 Corinthians 2: 2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. Luke 24:27 Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things written about himself in all the scriptures.

7. Safe and Holy Jesus Culture Matthew 22:11 But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. 12 He asked, How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend? The man was speechless. 1 Corinthians 2:3 I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling. 4 My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirits power, 5 so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on Gods power.

8. A Planting of the Lord Jesus Purpose Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to captives and freedom to prisoners; 2 to proclaim the favorable year of the LORD and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn, 3 to grant those who mourn in Zion, giving them a garland instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting so they will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.

Strength and Weakness

10. So that You May Know Jesus Power Mark 2:5 And Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, Son, your sins are forgiven. 6 But some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts, 7 Why does this man speak that way? He is blaspheming; who can forgive sins but God alone? 8 Immediately Jesus, aware in His spirit that they were reasoning that way within themselves, said to them, Why are you reasoning about these things in your hearts? 9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, Your sins are forgiven; or to say, Get up, and pick up your pallet and walk? 10 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sinsHe said to the paralytic, 11 I say to you, get up, pick up your pallet and go home. 1 Corinthians 2:4 My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirits power, 5 so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on Gods power.
