Easter Message | Jesus Entered

Emmanuel. God with us. He who resided in Heaven, co-equal and co-eternal with the Father and the Spirit, willingly descended into our world. He breathed our air, felt our pain, knew our sorrows, and died for our sins. He didn’t come to frighten us, but to show us the way to warmth and safety.

John 3

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 

17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

John 10

9 I am the Door. 

Matthew 24

37-39 When the Son of Man comes, it will be the same as what happened during Noah’s time. In those days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving their children to be married right up to the day Noah entered the boat. They knew nothing about what was happening until the flood came and destroyed them all. It will be the same when the Son of Man comes.

Genesis‬ ‭7‬

‭16‬ Then the Lord closed the door behind them.

Mark 16

4 But as they arrived, they looked up and saw that the stone, which was very large, had already been rolled aside.

5 When they entered the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a white robe sitting on the right side. The women were shocked, 

6 but the angel said, “Don’t be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Look, this is where they laid his body.”

Luke 1

39 In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a town in Judah, 

40 and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. 

41 And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,

42 and she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!”

Luke 19

1 Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. 

2 A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. 

3 He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. 

4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.

5 When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.”

What if I told you that Jesus wants to enter your _______________________ today?

Luke 10

38 Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house. 

39 And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching. 

40 But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.” 

41 But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, 

42 but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”

Many Things

One Thing

How will I handle His entrance? 

Will my life story be that I was too busy for Jesus?

He who created us without our help will not save us without our consent.

John 3

5 Jesus answered, “Believe me when I say that everyone must be born from water and the Spirit. Anyone who is not born from water and the Spirit cannot enter God’s kingdom.”

Matthew 25 — Well done, enter…

He who is born once will die twice. 

He who is born twice will die once.

— D.L. Moody 

Revelation 3

20 I am standing and knocking at your door. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in and we will eat together.

Is Jesus calling your name today?
