03.21.16 - Hope From Him

1. When All Seems Lost

1. a. Coming up on the Easter Week, look at the hoplessness that Peter must have felt with things did not go his way the week The Lord was crucified.

1. i. John 21:3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing . They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing. KJV

1. b. This was not going at all the way Peter must have thought it would go.  His Lord, his Friend, his Teacher, his Master was dead.  He had seen it all.  Going back over the lessons, the conversations trying to make sense of what had happened must have been flying through his mind.

1. c. When things take a turn we often go back to what we were before The Lord . . .for Peter, this was fishing.  This was what he resorted to when he didn’t know where else to turn.

1. a. . . .For Peter it was his old life . . .it was fishing

1. 2. Not Unbelief But Emptiness

1. a. To be filled with Christ, we must be emptied of all other things.  For Peter this meant he must be drained of his hopes, his plans, mostly his will.  When we die to the things of this world and ourselves, we then are in a position to be resurrected in the likeness of The Lord

1. i. Philippians 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. KJV

Romans 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made

sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.20

reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness

unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord KJV

will of man, but of God.14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt

among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten

of the Father,) full of grace and truth.15 John bare witness of him, and

cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is

preferred before me: for he was before me. KJV

II. Sons of God

Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the

dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also

quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 12

Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the

flesh. 13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the

Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14 For as many

as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye

have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have

received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The

Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of
