THE WRONG ROAD

LUKE 22:31-34, 54-62                                      Pastor Rick Jackson

 

I. STOP - LISTEN TO JESUS

 

1. Jesus Knows Us [v. 31-34, Jer. 17:9, Psalm 103:14] Better than we know ourselves

 

2. Jesus Loves Us [v.  ] Better than we love ourselves

 

3. Jesus prays for Us [v. 32, 45-46]

 

II. YIELD - LOOK TO JESUS

 

1. Jesus has Plans for Us [v. 32a, 1 Jn. 1:3-9] fellowship with Him

 

2. Jesus has a Purpose for Us [v. 32b, 2 Peter 3:18] being a blessing to others

 

3. Jesus has Protection for Us [v. 40, 46, 1 Corinthians 10:13] fervency in prayer

 

III. PROCEED WITH CAUTION - LEAN ON JESUS

 

1. The Way Back is NOT a Begging Road [Lk. 15:18-20]

 

2. The Way Back is NOT a Bargaining Road [Lk. 15:18-20]

 

3. The Way Back is a Better Road [Proverbs 13:15 … the way of transgressors is hard.]

 

Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
