Title: Encouragement For Tomorrow (6)
Series: Calm In the Chaos
Author: Jerry N Watts
Text: 1 John 2:28-29
We continue our "Calm in the Chaos" series. Please turn to and let's read our text. (TEXT)
From time to time all of us need a little 'encouragement.' The Message's title is "Encouragement for Tomorrow." Whether it's in our jobs, our hobbies, our families, our sports, yes-and even in our faith. Do you need a little encouragement today? Let me offer a few words:
-"I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life."- John 8:12
-"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled and do not be afraid." - John 14:27
-"In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." - John 16:33
-"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." - Matthew 11:28
These are encouraging words to all who seek the Lord. John has been attempting to offer us words of help for today and hope (or encouragement) for tomorrow because he cares us.
Many times we miss the simplest of things. His great encouragement for us is, "Remain in Him." He encourages us to do that 2 times in 2 verses. Let's just pause and take it in.
To 'remain in' anything means that you have to first be 'in' that thing. Think about it, Romans 8:1 says, "There is now NO condemnation for those who are IN Christ." 2 Cor 5:17 follows, "If anyone is "In Christ," along with Gal 2:20, "It is no long I who live, but Christ who lives in me." Being in Christ means that you have been saved BY CHRIST and now, He's your friend, companion, Savior, and Lord. So, here can be your first encouragement for today. BE SAVED and in Christ? Has you invited Him to blot out your sin, cleanse you, walk with, and save you?
To be 'in Christ' is not merely a concept, it's way of life that is lived out by living in His strength and aligned wi ...
