Gospel Light Minute X with Daniel Whyte III

Sunday Evening Evangelistic Message #50 | Passion Week 2012 (#3) On yesterday we talked about what Jesus Christ did on the Monday immediately following Palm Sunday. Today, as we continue this week-long series titled "The Most Exciting and Eventful Week in History", we will talk about what Jesus Christ did on Tuesday of what many call Passion Week. The Bible says in Matthew 24:1-3, "And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?" On Tuesday of Passion Week, Jesus Christ goes with his disciples to the Mount of Olives and answers their questions: "When shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?" This is a long discussion which is called the Olivet Discourse. It takes up two entire chapters in the book of Matthew -- chapters 24 and 25 -- so we will not be able to cover all of it today. In these chapters, Jesus Christ covers a range of topics which include: the destruction of the Temple and the judgment of Israel, the coming persecution of Jesus' followers, the events leading up to the last days, the Antichrist's desecration of a new Temple, the second coming of Jesus Christ, and the judgment of the Gentile nations. In the second half of the Olivet Discourse, Jesus also relates three parables which demonstrate what he had just been talking about -- the parable of the unfaithful servant, the parable of the ten virgins, and the parable of the talents. Today, however, we are going to focus on verses 36-44 of chapter 24. + Plus, listen to CeCe Winans singing "It Wasn't Easy" and Jeremy Camp singing "This Man"

Isaiah 53:5 says, "He [Jesus] was wounded for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed." He came from the throne of the Father to the womb of a woman. He put on humanity that we might put on divinity. He became Son of Man that we might become sons of God. He was born in a supernatural way, lived in poverty, and was reared in obscurity. He had neither wealth nor influence, yet the wisdom of men has never matched His wisdom. "Never has a man spoken like this man." His family was inconspicuous and uninfluential. In infancy, He startled a king. As a boy, He stunned theologians with his knowledge and wisdom, for He was taught of God. In manhood, He ruled the elements and quieted the raging sea. He healed the multitudes without medicine, and fed thousands from a boy's lunch. Even demons obeyed Him and He gave back life to those who died. He never wrote a book, yet none of the libraries of the world could contain the books that have been written about Him. He never wrote a song, yet He has furnished the theme of more songs than all song writers combined. He never founded a college, yet all the colleges together cannot boast of as many students as He has. He never marshaled an army yet no leader ever had more volunteers. Great men have come and gone, yet He lives on. Herod could not kill Him. Satan could not tempt Him to sin. Death could not destroy Him. The grave could not hold Him. He laid aside His purple robe for a peasant's gown. He was rich, yet for our sakes He became poor. He slept in another's manger; He rode on another's donkey; He was buried in another's grave. He conquered death and rose on the third day as He said He would. He ascended into heaven and is now at the right hand of the throne of God. One day He will return with power and great glory to judge the world when every knee shall bow to Him and every tongue shall confess Him as Lord --- His friends gladly, but His enemies seeking for a place to hide from His face. He is the Perfect One, the only One who can satisfy the soul. He gives everlasting life to those who love Him and obey His commandments. He is altogether lovely, and He is my Savior. To all who are ready to accept and believe Him, God gives these words of promise in John 1:12: "As many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name." + Plus, listen to Casting Crowns singing "Glorious Day"

Sunday Evening Evangelistic Message #49 | Passion Week 2012 (#2) Yesterday was Palm Sunday and we talked about the Triumphal Entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem. Today, as we continue this week-long series titled "The Most Exciting and Eventful Week in History", we will talk about what Jesus Christ did in Jerusalem on the Monday after the triumphant entry. Now, when we think of Jesus Christ, we often think of Him as the helpless baby in the manger, or the gentle shepherd carrying a lost sheep, the mild-mannered teacher sitting on a hillside telling stories to the crowd, or the compassionate healer raising a man's daughter from the dead. All of those images of Jesus are true and correct, but there is another side to Jesus that we often overlook which is seen in this passage of Scripture. +Plus, listen to Fred Hammond as he sings "Celebrate (He Lives)" and Hillsong Live singing "At The Cross".

Michael Jackson, was called "the king of pop". There are some people who still believe he is alive today, and that he only faked his death to get out of debt. There have been reports that he has been seen alive in the Caribbean and South America. Elvis Presley, dubbed "The King" by his fans, died on August 16, 1977. Yet even today, people claim to have seen him alive in all sorts of places. Few take these stories seriously but they appeal to us because Elvis' records meant something special to many people. How could two people so full of life possibly be dead? At this time of the year, millions are celebrating because a man who was dead has been seen alive - not by a handful of strangers, who saw someone somewhere who looked a bit like Him, but by His closest friends, His family, and His followers. 1 Corinthians 15:6 states, "...He was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present..." This was not the delusion of wishful thinking. They had all seen Him and you could go and ask them! I am talking about Jesus, whose following came from something much more important than music. He had promised to make men and women right with God, so that they could live lives to the full and have their sins forgiven. His followers, however, had watched in horror as He was executed in the most agonising way by crucifixion. They had seen His body sealed in the tomb. They were not expecting to see Him again. Yet, three days later, he astonished everyone by appearing in Jerusalem, eating and drinking with His friends, teaching his disciples and touching lives once more. When He died, He was taking the punishment we deserved for all our sin and selfishness - for the wrong things we have said, thought and done. God showed that He accepted this wonderful sacrifice by bringing Him back from the dead.

Sunday Evening Evangelistic Message #48 | Passion Week 2012 (#1) As many of you know, this Sunday, April 1st, is Palm Sunday. It is on this day that we remember what is called the Triumphal Entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem exactly one week before Easter, or Resurrection Sunday. The Triumphal Entry of Jesus Christ kicked off the most exciting, the most eventful, and the most important week in history since the world began. And this is also the starting point for our eight-message series titled "The Most Exciting Week in History". Today, I want to very briefly point out three aspects of Luke 19:28-40 that stand out especially in light of what we know will happen to Jesus just four days later. First of all I want you to notice, The Manner of the King's Arrival. Then, I want you to notice The Reason for the King's Arrival. And third, I want you to notice The Response of the People. + Plus, listen to Kirk Franklin singing "Hosanna" and Nicole C. Mullen singing "Oh, Jesus Loves Me"
