Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary: Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried. The third day he rose again from the dead: He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. The greatest INTERVENTION in human history, the Resurrection of the Son of God!Jesus Did This All For You! “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.” Luke 5:31 NIVWhen it comes to man’s sin problem, we simply cannot help ourselves. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Ever have anything let you down at an important moment? God has NEVER failed once!People will fail you. Even your own efforts will fail you. God knows all of this, so He sent His Son to INTERVENE!Jesus wasn’t surprised by his murder he willing gave his life. Matthew 20:18-19 NIV “We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!”God Never Panics.When the world starts to cave in around us, we panic, and get frantic. Maybe you and everyone around you is in panic mode. God is not in panic mode. God is not ringing his hands in fear. GOD IS STILL IN CONTROL!"I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.” John 11:25 NKJVInterventions come to one of two people those who want them and those who don’t.Barabbas as found in Matthew 27:15–26 Barabbas is in prison sentenced to death for murder and being part of a rebellion against the Romans. Barabbas was a bad dude. Jesus Christ stands before Pilate. The Jews get to release one prisoner. Pilate thinks it should be Jesus but the crowd wants Jesus to die. Give us Barabbas. All of a sudden Barabbas has a crowd that loves him… We are offered the same choice. Do we try to go on in our own murderous, envious, deceitful ways? Do we pick Barabbas as the crowd did? Most people the crowd still pick Barabbas. Because they are Barabbas. We all are Barabbas. Jesus was the intervention for Barabbas. Barabbas didn’t ask for it. He didn’t thank Jesus he just got it. Jesus died for Barabbas. For a murderer who didn’t care about him. Phil 2:9-11 NKJV “Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow…and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.”The thing you’re struggling with falls under the authority of the name of Jesus!Divorce, Disease, Drug Addiction, Abuse, Abandonment, Rebellion, Depression, family Dysfunction, Un-forgiveness, RageYOU CAN”T BE GOOD ENOUGH; Don’t cheapen his gift by trying to buy it!Maybe the problem is you are trying to get better. To Pay your own way to earn it. Jesus is looking at you and saying I got this!!!! I am your intervention. And not just your intervention but your victory over this. If my blood is powerful enough to Save you it is powerful enough to Sustain you!The agenda you’ve been living on is all about your past; it’s all about hopelessness. You need to recognize that God wants to set the plan for your life! It’s all about HOPE and about your FUTURE.You didn’t pay for your life. God sets the value on your life. He thought you were so valuable that He sent His one and only son to die for you. THAT’S HOW VALUABLE YOU TRULY ARE! (Barabbas’ name means, “son of the father.”)Today there are 4 types of people here. 1I am Trusting on Jesus 2.I want to began fresh trusting on Jesus. 3.I want to consider it a bit more. 4.I never intend on Trusting on Jesus….. Please give that some serious thought.
