July 5, 2023 – God’s Love Transforms Us to Wonder and Awe
Sermon: 1990 – The Beginning of the End
Pray Over This
“When He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe, because our testimony among you was believed.”
Ponder This
Notice the word “glorified” in this verse. In the Greek language, this word has the idea of wonder, of awe. What are we going to wonder at when we see the Lord Jesus? Think about what we’re going to see. We’re going to wonder at His transforming love. We will see all the saints of the ages made like the Lord Jesus Christ in a moment. Some who’ve been stubborn or God-haters were conquered by His sovereign love. We’re going to see some who were ignorant and blind and had their eyes opened to the glorious Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We’re going to see some who were demonized by sex, drugs, and alcohol and have been made pure. We’re going to see all the saints of God rise in glorified bodies like His glorified body. Is He Prophet, Priest, and King? We will be prophet, priest, and king. Is He perfect? We will be perfect. Why will we wonder when we will see the Lord Jesus Christ? Not one vestige of sin will be left in me. I can hardly wait for the day when I am made in the likeness of my blessed Lord.
- How does today’s description of the coming of Christ lead you to awe and wonder?
- What are those places in you that will be transformed in an instant?
Practice This
Make a list of your own “fatal flaws.” Make a corresponding list of Jesus’ perfection in respect to those things. Reflect on the fact that this is how you will be transformed at His return.
