Go To Him
Sunday Sermons, Bible Studies, other
The podcast title is taken from Hebrews 13:7-13.
"Remember those who led you, who spoke the word of God to you; and considering the result of their conduct, imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Do not be carried away by varied and strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited. We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat. For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned outside the camp. Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered outside the gate. So, let us go out to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach. For here we do not have a lasting city, but we are seeking the city which is to come."
Hebrews 13:7-13 (NASB 1995)
Go To Him
The Reward is Worth the Risk
Matthew 10:40–42 NASB95
“He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.
“He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.
“And whoever in the name of a disciple gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water to drink, truly I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.”
At the end of his instructions and warnings to the disciples before their first preaching trip in Matthew 9 and 10, Jesus give the disciples hope. Despite all the ills, trials, and tribulations he enumerates he tells the disciples that there are still those who will listen to the message of "Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." That same hope applies to Christians today.
