THE TRANSFORMING LOVE=
OF GOD AND CHRIST
God's love=Jesus' LOVE=
Are TRANSFORMING=for all of us
ALL types of people
In this world
We see this today=in the STORY=
In the jailing of Paul and Silas
The guards and prisoners ALIKE=
PROCLAIM the transforming love
Of the Lord Jesus
The JAILER drew his sword=and
Was going to kill HIMSELF
But Paul intervened
“But Paul SHOUTED in
A loud voice=
'Do NO HARM to yourself
We are all STILL HERE'”
Acts 16:28
“The jailer called for LIGHTS
Rushed in=and fell trembling
BEFORE Paul and Silas
He then brought them out
And ASKED=
'SIRS=what must I do
To be SAVED?'”
Acts 16:29-30
Later he was=the JAILER
was=BAPTIZED
And we see the
TRANSFORMING LOVE of Jesus
Even in his death
At his crucifixion=he gains
TWO WITNESSES
ONE of the criminals
Dying BESIDE him says=
“Jesus=REMEMBER ME when you
Come in to your KINGDOM”
Luke 23:42
And the soldier GUARING
The dying prisoners=said
“TRULY this man
Was the SON OF GOD”
Mark 15:39
HOW has God=how has JESUS
TRANSFORMED your life?=
Are you a witness for
Him today?
Like the criminal=like the guard
Are you WILLING to TESTIFY=for him=
To the ENDS of the earth?
The LORD has transformed my life
And there is NOTHING=
That I would not DO for him
“Do not
CONFORM to the pattern
Of this world
But be TRANSFORMED
By the RENEWING
Of your mind
THEN you will be able
To test and APPROVE
What GOD'S WILL IS
His good=pleasing=
And PERFECT WILL”
Romans 12:2
God has transformed my life=
Has he TRANSFORMED YOURS?
God's transforming love=not only
SHOWS
Where injustice lies=but it RESCUES
US
It CHANGES US=there is no one
That is BEYOND the TRANSFORMING
LOVE
Of God and Jesus
In Jesus' name and the NAME of his
ALL LOVING FATHER
