"THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!" by Pastor Robert Oliver
II Timothy 1:10 says~ "But is NOW Made 'MANIFEST' BY THE APPEARING of OUR 'SAVIOUR' JESUS CHRIST, WHO Hath 'ABOLISHED' DEATH, and Hath Brought LIFE and 'IMMORTALITY' to LIGHT 'THROUGH' THE GOSPEL!"
Oh Glory! What an Incredibly 'Stacked' Verse We Have to Examine today Believers! This Text is Absolutely "Loaded" With Glorious 'TRUTH' for Us to Admire! "9" Spiritually Golden 'Nuggets' We'll Dig Up here:
First, Notice the "PRESENT" Tense! Paul writes~ "BUT 'IS' NOW!" Oh I'm So 'Glad' Church that Our GOD is the "NOW" GOD! I'm So Glad that "NOW" is the 'ACCEPTABLE' TIME, "NOW" is the "DAY OF SALVATION!" In Exodus chapter 3 'HE' Told Moses~ MY 'NAME' IS "I AM THAT I AM!!!" Listen, HE is 'Everything' I Need Right "NOW!!!"
But Secondly, Notice "WHAT" is NOW! He says~ "BUT IS NOW 'MADE' MANIFEST!" Ah Glory! Paul, by "GOD'S HOLY SPIRIT" Here, 'Tells' Us, that "SOMETHING" Has Been "MADE KNOWN" to US! Alright, Question: 'What' is NOW Made "KNOWN" to US, that was Previously "UNKNOWN?" Answer: verse 9 says that 'Something' Was "GIVEN" to US "BEFORE" this WORLD "BEGAN!" That was the "GRACE" OF GOD in "SAVING US FROM SIN!" We "NOW KNOW" Exactly 'WHAT' GOD "GAVE" US "BEFORE" HE CREATED THE UNIVERSE, and That is "HIS GLORIOUS GRACE!!!"
But Thirdly, Notice "HOW" HE Made it KNOWN! Paul says~ "BUT IS NOW MADE MANIFEST 'BY' THE APPEARING OF OUR SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST!" Listen Saints, THE SON OF GOD Was On a "MISSION" From the 'Moment' of HIS "DIVINE CONCEPCION" 2000 Years Ago, to MAKE "KNOWN" THE GRACE OF GOD "TO MANKIND!" And It was 'BY' HIS "APPEARING" on the Scene of THIS WORLD, that "WE" Were Made "AWARE" of GOD'S "LOVE FOR US!" Titus 2:11 Says~ "FOR THE 'GRACE' OF GOD THAT BRINGETH SALVATION HATH 'APPEARED' TO ALL MEN!!!"
Ok But Fourthly, Notice "WHO" HE "IS!" Paul says~ "BUT IS NOW MADE MANIFEST BY THE APPEARING OF OUR SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST!" Listen Now Church, We Don't 'Need' a Psychiatrist, or a Hypnotist, or a Guru, "WE NEED A SAVIOUR!" And That's "WHO" JESUS "IS" FOR US!!! Verse 9 Says~ "WHO HATH 'SAVED' US!!!"
But Fifthly, Notice "WHAT" HE HAS DONE! Paul writes~ "BUT IS NOW MADE MANIFEST BY THE APPEARING OF OUR SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST, WHO HATH 'ABOLISHED' DEATH!" Oh Me Oh My Beloved One, Did You 'Hear' That? Listen to me Carefully, the 'Greek' word here for ABOLISHED is "Kartageo!" This Word 'Literally' Means~ "TO DO 'AWAY' WITH, TO 'DESTROY', TO PUT AWAY!" Now, Here's What YOU 'Need' to See Believers: 'JESUS CHRIST' Has "DONE AWAY" WITH "DEATH" FOR THE "TRUE BELIEVER!!!" Listen, YOU CANNOT "DIE" IF YOU "HAVE" ETERNAL "LIFE!" Did You 'Hear' Me??? Oh Yah they can Bury My 'Body' 6 Feet Under, BUT I'M NOT "DEAD!!!" I'll Be 'Dancing' on "STREETS OF GOLD!" Why? Becasue 'MY' JESUS "ABOLISHED" DEATH FOR "ME!"
Alright, But Sixthly, Notice "WHAT" HE BROUGHT US! Paul Says~ "BUT IS NOW MADE MANIFEST BY THE APPEARING OF OUR SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST, WHO HATH ABOLISHED DEATH, AND HATH 'BROUGHT' LIFE!" Ooh YES Indeed Beloved! The Apostle 'Tells' Us here, that 'JESUS CHRIST' Has "BROUGHT" LIFE "INTO" a World "FULL OF DEATH!" Listen, Ephesians 2:1 Says~ "And 'YOU' Hath HE 'Quickened' (Made Alive) Who 'WERE DEAD' in Tresspasses and Sins!" Listen, HE "REPLACED" Our Spiritual "DEATH" with "SPIRITUAL LIFE!!!" Paul said~ "ARISE FROM THE 'DEAD' AND CHRIST SHALL 'GIVE' THEE LIFE!!!"
But Seventhly, Notice What "ELSE" HE BROUGHT! Paul Says~ "BUT IS NOW MADE MANIFEST BY THE APPEARING OF OUR SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST, WHO HATH ABOLISHED DEATH, AND HATH BROUGHT LIFE 'AND' IMMORTALITY!" Wait a Minute Now Pastor, Did Paul Just 'Say' that We 'Now' Have "IMMORTALITY?" Yup! That's 'Exactly' What JESUS CHRIST Has "GIVEN US!" Watch: I Corinthians 15:53 States that~ "THIS MORTAL MUST PUT 'ON' IMMORTALITY!" The 'Greek' Word here is "Aphtharsia!" Are You Sitting Down? Listen, The Word Translates~ "UNENDING EXISTENCE!" Oh I Hope Someone's 'Hearing' this today! Beloved Believer, You 'HAVE' AN "UNENDING EXISTENCE" IN "JESUS CHRIST!!!"
But Eighthly, Notice the Divine "SPOTLIGHT!" He says~ "BUT IS NOW MADE MANIFEST BY THE APPEARING OF OUR SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST, WHO HATH ABOLISHED DEATH, AND HATH BROUGHT LIFE AND IMMORTALITY 'TO' LIGHT!" Wow!!! Did You 'Hear' that? Don't Miss this Folks: Paul, 'by' GOD'S SPIRIT, says that JESUS HAS "SHONE A SPOTLIGHT" ON THIS "IMMORTALITY!" But What's That Mean? Listen, It 'Means' that "NOW" IT CAN BE "SEEN!" HE Has 'Brought' the "LIGHT" of ETERNAL LIFE "INTO" THE 'DARKNESS' OF THIS WORLD IN ORDER TO "DISPELL" IT!!!
But Ninthly, and Finally, Notice the "INSTRUMENTALITY" HE Uses! Paul says~ "BUT IS NOW MADE MANIFEST BY THE APPEARING OF OUR SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST, WHO HATH ABOLISHED DEATH, AND HATH BROUGHT LIFE AND IMMORTALITY TO LIGHT 'THROUGH' THE GOSPEL!" Well Hallelu-Yah! I Sure am 'Thankful' Church that there IS A "GOSPEL" TO PREACH! And That's Because "JESUS CHRIST" IN HIS DEATH, BURIAL, AND RESURRECTON, HAS 'BROUGHT' THE "MEANS" WHEREBY 'ALL' MANKIND MIGHT BE "SAVED!!!" Paul Said~ "THE 'GOSPEL' IS THE POWER OF GOD 'UNTO' SALVATION TO 'EVERY' ONE THAT BELIEVETH!!!" So, My Word to You Today Beloved Believers: "Share this 'GOOD NEWS' With 'WHOSOEVER' Will Listen, and Don't Quit 'Serving' Our Glorious KING, HE'S COMING SOON!!!" Blessings to All, and Shalom...
