Journey To The Grave (Mainland) Sacrificial Giving
Journey to The Grave (Mainland) Pastor Mark
Love Your enemies Matthew 5:39-48
– Jesus Christ came to show us how to live like God.
– The things Jesus did was as a result of the love that has
for us. Luke 23:34
How did Jesus overcome the desire to destroy the very
people he came to save?
• He prayed for them while he was still hanging on the cross! Luke 23:34
• Right from the beginning, he knew they would kill him yet he chose to still love them.
• He did not withhold good from them. Matthew 5: 43-45
• He forgive fully. Don’t keep any record of wrongs.
– We have a responsibility to love like Jesus.
– The journey to the grave is a journey to death, that you may find life in that death.
– The paradox of Christianity is that you die to live
– You die daily so that others can have eternal life through you.
– You are the Jesus that people should see. So how are you representing him?

Journey to the Grave (Island) The Giving Ministry of Jesus
– The journey to grave propels us to give up ourselves for Christ.
– It means Being dead to the customs of the world.
– You can’t unconsciously worship a person. In the same way, You can’t passively be a believer.
– Recall that God reminds us that a man that will save his life will first of all lose it.
– The Christian life is ironic. Christianity doesn’t compel us to convenience but to sacrifices. The gospel alters your heart and changes the way you think.
– The same spirit God has, you have. If Jesus can do it, you can do it also.
Customs vs the Word
Matthew 5:38-48
• The gospel compels us to love our enemies. Not because we want but because God says so.
• What controls your thinking reflects the action you take.
• The reason why you’re struggling with the principles of God is because you’re costumed to a certain type of thinking.
• Jesus’ model of life should be our context for Living. Romans 5:4-5
• God’s love compels us to live in the frame of his word.
• The Christian faith urges us to Remain selfless and seek God always. 1 John 3:13-19
