The David Spoon Experience 4-5-23 Part 2
1) Praise the Lord; we have arrived at Easter 2023. And as I’ve said in the past and will say in the future, You have heard much of this material before and will hear much of it again. In fact, if we hear 100 more sermons on Easter, we are all the more blessed because of it. We have to start with the most important elements of our faith: the basic understanding of the Good News. The good news saves us, the Good News keeps us, and the Good News will be with us for all eternity.
2) My favorite understanding of Easter for every Christian is next up. But most specifically for myself. When Mary encounters Jesus in the garden, she doesn’t exactly know who He is. Not initially, anyway, But then Jesus speaks and Mary hears her Lord. This is the core of our faith. That Jesus, who is supposed to be dead, has been resurrected, never to die again. And in His resurrected voice, He speaks to us. Have you heard the Lord call your name? You have heard the voice of the resurrected Jesus, the Messiah.
3) A few Christians like to argue about eternal security. Cool. At least they are not arguing about which football team is better, The Dallas Cowboys or the Detroit Lions. There is not a question about it; it A’INT the Lions. But the reality is that God is not “into” insecurity. To be insecure is not to be safe. In, which means no. And secure, meaning safe. Proverbs 21:31 states, The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD. In the Lord, we are safe. So, in that sense, we are eternally secure.
