2. REVELATIONS

3. Hebrews 1:1-4 “In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days

4. he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. The Son is the

5. radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided

6. purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.”

7. Charles Haddon Spurgeon "Come, see the place where the Lord lay," with joy and gladness. He does not lie there now. Weep, when ye

8. see the tomb of Christ, but rejoice because it is empty. Thy sin slew him, but his divinity raised him up. Thy guilt hath murdered him, but

9. his righteousness hath restored him. Oh! He hath burst the bonds of death, he hath...come out more than conqueror, crushing death

10. beneath his feet. Rejoice, O Christian, for he is not there—he is risen.”

11. John 16:13-15 “But when He, the Truth-giving Spirit, comes He will guide you into the whole, full Truth. For He will not speak His own

12. message on His own authority; but He will tell whatever He hears from the Father; He will give the message that has been

13. given to Him, and He will announce and declare to you the things that will happen in the future. He will honor and glorify Me, because He

14. will draw upon what is Mine and will reveal it to you. Everything that the Father has is Mine. That is what I meant when I said that

15. the Spirit will take the things that are Mine and will reveal it to you.”

17. FORGOTTEN GOD

18. Wherever you are in your relationship with God, we have prayed specifically that the Lord will REVEAL Himself to you today.

19. John 16:8-11 “When He comes, He will show the world it was wrong about sin, righteousness, and judgment. He will show the

20. world it was wrong about sin because they don't believe in Me. He will show the world it was wrong about righteousness because I'm

21. going to the Father and you won't see Me anymore. He will show the world it was wrong about judgment because this world's ruler stands condemned.”

22. First this verse speaks about the REVEALING of the sin of disbelief toward Him.

23. We are talking about having a personal relationship with Christ.

24. Has there ever been a time when you trusted in Jesus that He is who He says He is and that He can do what He says He can do-save you for all eternity?

25. Notice the second thing He does. He “convicts the world because they need to understand their lack of righteousness.”

26. Romans 3:23 “All have sinned and fallen short of God's glory,”

27. The third thing that the Spirit does is to convict us about the judgment that God brings on sin in the past, present and the future.

28. “The payment for sin is death, but the gift that God freely gives is everlasting life found in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23
