Sunday Morning - July 21, 1996

Text: John 6:39-40 "And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

40. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth [PAP] on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at [IN] the last day."

THOSE DRAW WILL BE RAISED

THE LAST DAY

ISRAEL

Hosea 6:1-2 "Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. 2. After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight."

THE SEVENTH DAY

Hebrews 4:8-11 "For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. 9. There remaineth therefore a [SABBATHDAY] rest to the people of God. 10. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. 11. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief."

Hebrews 4:1 "Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it."

IN THAT DAY

HIGH CALLING

BETTER RESURRECTION

Hebrews 11:35 "Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:"

THE PROMISE

1 John 2:25 "And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life."

GO UP HIGHER

Luke 14:8-10 "When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him; 9. And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room. 10. But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship [GLORY] in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee."

Proverbs 25:6-7 "Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men: 7. For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen."

THOSE BELIEVING WILL BE RAISED

John 6:40 "And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day."

YE BELIEVE NOT

John 10:26-29 "But ye believe [PAI] not, because ye are not of my sheep [GIVEN BY THE FATHER], as I said unto you. 27. My sheep [GIVEN BY THE FATHER] hear my voice, and I know them [MY SHEEP], and they [MY SHEEP] follow me: 28. And I give unto them [MY SHEEP] eternal life; and they [MY SHEEP] shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them [MY SHEEP] out of my hand. 29. My Father, which gave them [MY SHEEP] me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them [MY SHEEP] out of my Father's hand."

YOU CAN FALL

2 Peter 1:10-11 "Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: 11. For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ."
