INTRO: Who do you know who has gone on an amazing trip?

CROSSING THE UNIVERSE
What is the significance of the trek that Jesus has made, from heaven to earth and back again?

DOWN TO THE FARTHEST REACHES
If we can marvel at a journey for its reason, when is a trip amazing just for its scope?

TO TAKE US SAFELY HOME
And where does this mission end, and with what results?

YOU CAN PRAY WITH US …

1. Worship the LORD, God Almighty, for His surpassing power and glory. Praise Him, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, that He is infinitely higher and greater than anything in all creation and that He guarantees our salvation.

2. How have you lived in the grip of fear or discouragement because you have not trusted the Lord’s promises of redemption? Confess your pride and unbelief to Jesus, asking Him to forgive you and secure you in His grace.

3. Give thanks to Jesus for His work to conquer all threats against us, by His death and resurrection. Thank Him for His willingness to make the most amazing journey in order to save your life, and to take you with Him.

4. Who do you know who tends to doubt God’s heart to save people like us? Pray for them, asking the Lord to help them to see the truth of what He has revealed, both about us (needing to be saved) and Him (that He is merciful to save).

5. Ask the Holy Spirit to bear in you His fruit of love, joy and patience. Pray that He would so anchor you in the Gospel that you are more defined by His promises and work than you are by anything in else in all creation.
