Acts 3:17-21

   17 “Now, brothers and sisters, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders. 18 But this is how God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, saying that his Messiah would suffer.
   19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,  20 and that he may send the Messiah, who has been appointed for you—even Jesus.  21 Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.

 

Acts 4:12-13

    12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name given under heaven by which we must be saved.
    13 When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.

 

1.  The attraction of Jesus’ vision:
YOU GET IN ON NOW, WHAT LATER YOU WILL GET IN FULL.

 

1 Corinthians 13:9-13

9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part,  10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears.  11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.  12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
    13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 

 

2.  Three values by which you experience Jesus’ vision now:

a. Faith now.

b. Hope beyond now.

c. Love as the bridge between now & then.
