The Suffering Church Triumphant in the Victorious Lamb Slain for the Life of the World

December 29, 2019 Preacher: Series: Advent & Easter: (Part 1) The Victorious Comings of Christ in John's Revelation

Scripture: Revelation 7:1–17

Key Truth: God will eternally preserve people from every tongue, tribe, and nation to be ministered to by Christ their loving shepherd.  

 


Introduction:

What motivates you to share the Gospel in word and deed?
What prevents you from
sharing it?

 

 

The Gathering Conquerors of the Victorious Lamb:

Revelation 7:1-17

“…according to Revelation, we have been redeemed from a culture of death by the death of the Lamb for faithfulness to death—all of which is, paradoxically, life itself. It is also victory itself. It is conquering the temptation to give up or give in, even in the face of all that the culture of death can do.”

Michael J. Gorman, Reading Revelation Responsibly:
Uncivil Worship and Witness: Following the Lamb into the New Creation

 

How does God’s promised eternal preservation of His people and Christ’s shepherding ministry affect how you live out the Gospel in your spheres of influence for the life of the world?

 

Application: 

Revelation 7 teaches us that:

God will eternally preserve people from every tongue, tribe, and nation to be ministered to by Christ their loving shepherd
