Jesus Forevermore | Who He Is [Week 5] | Mark Seagle | April 11, 2021

Mandarin Baptist Church

We will always see the goodness and kindness of Jesus in the midst of sinners and sufferers. We should not only call Him good when we are feeling the good; we should call Him good even in the unknown. We will be experiencing the grace and goodness of God for all of eternity, and we will never see the end of His love toward us.
Who He Is… Jesus Forevermore! (Easter 2021 with our Mandarin Family)
Scripture: Ephesians 2.4-7
Jesus, who is rich in mercy and lavish in love, he seats us in the heavens that he might display the immeasurable riches of his grace through his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. - Ephesians 2.7
The opening lines of this song speak life and hope. Come out of hiding… take a moment and find rest in this worship: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFkDqQtfs0w
* You and I are made alive in Christ that he might lavish us in his immeasurable grace. Because his grace is immeasurable and on display, your failures and flaws can never outstrip his grace in kindness. How does this bring freedom for your soul? How does a deeper understanding of His grace in kindness provide an authenticity in your relationship with Jesus?… with others?
* What is your reaction to these two statements in light of the scripture studied today: For those not in Christ, this life is the best it will ever get. Yet, for those in Christ, the best moments this life offers is the worst that it will ever get.
* Savor this quote and share a couple of meaningful truths that you learn from a father of our faith: Here Am I, and the children which thou hast given me awaiting the Father’s blessings; and shall thenceforward rejoice together, in consummate, uninterrupted, immutable and everlasting glory, in the love and embrace of each other, and joint enjoyment of the love, mercy and grace in the kindness of Christ. - Spurgeon
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love that he had for us, made us alive with Christ even though we were dead in trespasses. You are saved by grace! He also raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavens in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might display the immeasurable riches of his grace through his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. -- Ephesians 2:4-7 (CSB)
