This morning's Scripture text: Acts 13:16-52. Pastor laid a lengthy groundwork before actually getting to this passage because it is essential in telling others the good news of Christ.
Jesus became a man to perfectly fulfill His own law; He is a holy Savior. He pad man's sin debt on the cross fulfilling His own demands; He is a substitutionary Savior. He defeated death--physically, spiritually, and eternally--by rising again on the third day; He is a living, resurrected Savior. He returned to heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father, which assures us of eternal yope and earthside help; He is a high priestly Savior. He is the mediator between God and man, He will descend again as King and establish His rule over a new heaven and new earth; He is a ruling Savior.
