Mike Fritscher

Thanksgiving Miracle! 1 Corinthians 11:23-31

1 Thessalonians 5:18 In everything Give thanks, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

In: (pointing to time, place and state)

Everything: All Things, whatever is happening, Always,

In every place, every time, no matter what! For everything! When it’s Good, When It’s Hard, even bad, When It’s Uncertain!

In The Night He Was Betrayed!

Luke 22:15 I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with You before I suffer, for I say to you I shall never again eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God!

Passover and the Substitute Death of an Innocent Lamb

John 1:29 – Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world!

He Gave Thanks!

1. For His Broken Body!

• That Bore Your Sins! 1 Peter 2:21-25

• That Carried Your Sorrows

Isaiah 53:4 Surely Our grief He Himself Bore, and our sorrows He carried!

2. For His Spilt Blood!

• That Forgives and Cleanses You From Sin!

Hebrews 9:14 The Blood of Christ Cleanses your conscience from dead works to serve the living God! VS 22 Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin!

• To Bring New Birth and Redemption! 1 Peter 1:18-19

• To Provide Constant Access to God For Fellowship and Help!

Hebrews 10:19 Since therefore brothers we have confidence to enter the Holy place by the blood of Jesus!

• To Bring About Your Ultimate Triumph!

Revelation 12:11 And they Overcame Him by the word of their testimony, the blood of the lamb and they did not love their lives even unto death!

In the Night He was Betrayed, He Gave Thanks for His Broken Body and His Spilt Blood,

To Be Remembered!

To Be Proclaimed As Christ Crucified!

1 Corinthians 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, to Jews, a stumbling block and to the Gentiles foolishness, 24 but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God!
