Easter-God Understands Us – Hope Community Church

Main Point: This Easter receive God’s love because God, the creator of all things, knows us and understands us.

Jesus is God Incarnate

Jesus humbles himself to redeem whosoever

Philippians 2:1-11.

When Jesus was with the Father in heaven, He was in the form of God because he was God, as part of the Holy Trinity.
Jesus voluntarily took the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of men.
Jesus humbled himself and became obedient even unto death.

Example Story:

When a father raises a son and then sends him off to the military then to war for their country.
- Then the son dies at war as a hero saving others.
- This hurts the father but leaves the father proud and makes sure his sons name lives on.
The reason God understands us, is because God did exactly this so that we may have eternal live.
- God the father sent his only begotten Son, Jesus to a war zone (battle between darkness and light)
- In order to save lives Jesus himself died for others
- Now, God the father is proud of his son and as vers10 says in Philippians 2:10.

John 3:16. For God so loved the world, He sent his Son………….

Pastor’s Thoughts:

God understand us:
- God created us
- Jesus died for us
- Like an earthly father sending his to war, God sent his son to conquer sin and death.
- God loves us

God understands us.

Even to the point that God understands it when we are lonely, or feel abandoned.
The last thing Jesus experienced before he died on the cross. Was loneliness, abandonment!!
- Let’s read it: Matthew 27:42-51.

God gets us and loves us. And the crucifixion is proof that God once us to be close to him.
How are you responding to this great Love?
When you receive God’s love and worship Him in spirit and in truth, you will be satisfied.
Those who have a heart for God, will find the joy and peace that everyone longs for.
Be hungry for more of his presence, more of his love.
And be ready to be transformed.
