My God is the God of the living
Ezekiel 30-32/John 13-16
How to get the most out of Hungry Bible
OT
30:2-3 “Son of man, prophesy and give this message from the Sovereign LORD: Weep, for the terrible day is almost here–the day of the LORD! It is a day of clouds and gloom, a day of despair for the nations!”
NT
13:3-5 Jesus knew that the Father had given him authority over everything and that he had come from God and would return to God. So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel he had around him.
:13-17 “You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, because it is true. And since I, the Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each others’ feet. I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you. How true it is that a servant is not greater than the master. Nor are messengers more important than the one who sends them. You know these things–now do them! That is the path of blessing.”
OT Flash Points
The Day of the Lord is always here
Set Egypt on fire
All the mighty nations fall when they become proud, setting themselves above the others
All of them will mock you, Egypt, and welcome you to join them in the grave
Can you kill the devil?
No. He’s already dead
I will not go that way
I will follow the living into life
My God is the God of the living
NT Flash Points
Servants are not greater than their Master
Your Master is a servant
What does that make you?
You don’t have to kill the devil
Just follow Me
I have overcome the world
Perspective
Who are you really?
When you are working or walking or talking, how do you perceive yourself?
Since you can’t see yourself except in a mirror, you must believe your own memory or a self-projected image
Is that really you?
That’s why people are so focused when they see themselves in a glass or on a TV monitor
They can’t quite make sense of it
May I suggest, there’s only one Person Who sees the real you
He made the real you
So it would be a good idea to get on His frequency, establish who He thinks you are
But once you get in touch with Him, He’s the only one you really want to know
