Completed And Finished

Summary: Hey, GOOD NEWS, You’re in the will.
Talking about How much has Jesus done for us
With all our trials and tribulations of late---tend to focus on stuff
Church is still about ONE THING JESUS
The name above every name
I believe someone who walked in lost- leaving saved today
God wants us 2 be ready for the FUTURE- prepare for the blessing
John 19:25-30
Jesus did so much during his ministry
Blind, deaf, dumb, lepers, cripples, dead all were changed
But Jesus ministry was to come set us free
Jesus ministry was to set us free from the LAW
Forget “Thou shall not this and that”,
Jesus said I new commandment I give
“Love one another”
We don’t have to live up to tablets of stone
We have been made sons and daughters of God
We were put in his Will, “Last will and Testament”
In order for us to get everything our father willed to us
He had to DIE
All his power was willed to us when he died
Over the law, over demons, over troubles, over darkness, over temptation, over life, over death, over hell, over Satan, over sickness, over and over again,
We now have everything Jesus had WHY? It is finished
It wasn’t complete but it was finished not the same thing
The first thing that should come to your mind- when you think of Jesus- IT IS FINISHED
“Let not your be troubled” John 14:1-4
“mansions” only in KJV-NKJV-NAS
word actually means “home” “dwelling place”
I don’t think we’ll have a mansion
I don’t think we’ll care
It’s like Jesus is up there building mansion
Bible say “precious in the sight of the Lord, death of His saints”
But it’s like everytime one dies, Jesus has to start building a mansion
Took 6 days to create everything- it’s taken 2,000 yrs.
to build all those mansions
Church I grew up in we sang, “I want a mansion, just over the hilltop”
Next song would be, “Lord build me a cabin in the corner of gloryland”
He’s saying to his Disciples
Don’t worry about what you’re going to see
You cannot live with God, in the temple or in Heaven
You will live in my house forever, but I have to make a way
John 14:25-29 THE HOLY SPIRIT
Jesus still talking about going away for the 3 days
John 20:1-19
Someday I’m gonna walk through doors
Because I can
That morning he says not to touch Him
That evening he showed them his hands and his feet
Matthew he tell Thomas to come touch his hand and side
Said when he would come back, he’s bringing JN. 14 Holy spirit
And at that moment it was complete
He had to Go to God and make a way
Why Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life, no one can come to Father…..
He had to make a way- But he didn’t make a way- The way
Why did he make the way-----He knew we couldn’t
Now we don’t have to be bogged down with religion
Barmitsfahs, cristnings, church membership, Denomination, ridicule
Look you have a God who loves you
He love you as much today as he did yesterday
Tomorrow he’ll love the same as he did today
Why? Because his SON made the way
He doesn’t want perfection out of you
He wants praise, worship, heart, love, joy, …..YOUR TITHE (just kidding)
God just wants you to love on him
If you havn’t met Jesus- meet him today
Not some mean Jesus who has a big book and bigger hammer
Not some mean Jesus who tell you your not good enough
A loving Jesus that says, I have made the way….all you have to do is believe
Believe what? That there is no other way-----God is not impressed with how good you act
Can you act better than Jesus?- That’s why he’s the way & we’re not
God’s work is finished and completed
Church he has done everything for us
As his kids, we are entitled to everything in the will
