Hoekom is hierdie dag so belangrik en wat beteken dit vir my en jou.
EK WIL GRAAG MET JOU VANAAND GESELS ONDER DIE TEMA: Hemelvaart die aankondiging van 'n nuwe era
Hemelvaart kondig aan:
1. Die pad na die Vader is oop.
When God wanted to guarantee his promises, he gave his word, a rock-solid guarantee-- God can't break his word. And because his word cannot change, the promise is likewise unchangeable. We who have run for our very lives to God have every reason to grab the promised hope with both hands and never let go. It's an unbreakable spiritual lifeline, reaching past all appearances right to the very presence of God where Jesus, running on ahead of us, has taken up his permanent post as high priest for us, in the order of Melchizedek. (Heb 6:17 - 20 MSG)
• Jesus het pad na die Vader vir ons gebaan
Heb 10:20 “Hy is die nuwe en lewende weg”.
• Jesus doen ook nou vir ons voorspraak
Rom 8:34 “Jesus Christus wat opgewek is, wat ook aan regterhand van God is, wat ook vir ons intree.”
2. Dat ek en jy die Heilige Gees kan hê as deel van ons lewens
But the fact of the matter is that it is best for you that I go away, for if I don't, the Comforter won't come. If I do, he will--for I will send him to you. "And when he has come he will convince the world of its sin, and of the availability of God's goodness, and of deliverance from judgment. The world's sin is unbelief in me; there is righteousness available because I go to the Father and you shall see me no more; John 16:7-10 (Living)
Die Heilige Gees sal ons leer in die volle waarheid
Joh 16:13-14 MSG But when the Friend comes, the Spirit of the Truth, he will take you by the hand and guide you into all the truth there is. He won't draw attention to himself, but will make sense out of what is about to happen and, indeed, out of all that I have done and said. (14) He will honor me; he will take from me and deliver it to you.
3. Die herstel van ons gesag en outoriteit in Christus
19 I pray that you will begin to understand how incredibly great his power is to help those who believe him. It is that same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in heaven,…
21 far, far above any other king or ruler or dictator or leader. Yes, his honor is far more glorious than that of anyone else either in this world or in the world to come. And God has put all things under his feet and made him the supreme Head of the Church-- which is his body, filled with himself, the Author and Giver of everything everywhere.
Eph 1:19-23 (Living)
The position and authority that Jesus won have been transferred back to mankind through spiritual rebirth in Christ - Myles Munroe
Eph 2:4-10 AOV Maar God, wat ryk is in barmhartigheid, het ons deur sy grote liefde waarmee Hy ons liefgehad het, (5) ook toe ons dood was deur die misdade, lewend gemaak saam met Christus—uit genade is julle gered— (6) en saam opgewek en saam laat sit in die hemele in Christus Jesus, (7) sodat Hy in die eeue wat kom, kan betoon die uitnemende rykdom van sy genade in goedertierenheid oor ons in Christus Jesus. (8) Want uit genade is julle gered, deur die geloof, en dit nie uit julleself nie: dit is die gawe van God; (9) nie uit die werke nie, sodat niemand mag roem nie. (10) Want ons is sy maaksel, geskape in Christus Jesus tot goeie werke wat God voorberei het, sodat ons daarin kan wandel.
4. Ek en jy word die Ambassadeurs van God se Koninkryk
2Co 5:20 AMPC So we are Christ's ambassadors, God making His appeal as it were through us. We [as Christ's personal representatives] beg you for His sake to lay hold of the divine favor [now offered you] and be reconciled to God.
Luk 22:29 ANV Net soos my Vader 'n koninkryk aan My bemaak het, so bemaak Ek 'n koninkryk aan julle,
Die begin van ambassadeurskap....
1. Ons posisie (viering van die doop)
6:3 Baptism illustrates this: we declared our identification with Him in His death through baptism when we were immersed into Jesus Christ.
6:4 Baptism thus portrayed our co-burial with Him into His death; now from God’s point of view our walk in newness of life is exactly parallel to His resurrection.
Rom 6:3-4 MWBE
2. Ons taal (Prayer drive volgende week)
Prayer is the vehicle by which you are meant to commune with the invisible God. It is the medium through which your spirit is intended to affect and be affected by the will and purpose of the divine Creator - Myles Munroe
