“When God Sends An Advocate”
(1 John 2:1-6)
(A) The People Who Need An Advocate (v1a)
(B) The Advocate God Provides (v1b-2)
- '"Propitiation": A sacrifice that bears God's wrath to the end and in so doing changes God's wrath toward us into favor." Wayne Grudem, Systematic Theology.
(C) The Results Of Knowing Him (v3-6)
- "Behold the Lamb who bears our sins away, slain for us --
And we remember:
The promise made that all who come in faith find forgiveness at the Cross."
- Keith and Kristyn Getty, Communion Hymn.
REFLECTION QUESTIONS
- As I take the Lord's Supper, what is my attitude towards sin, both in myself, and with brothers and sisters in the church?
- What is the state of my relationship with my advocate before the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous?
- Has the love of God in Christ so affected me that I walk the way Jesus did? Is there evidence in my life that the truth of the gospel is in me?
