1029, Measure of God's Love

Measure of God's Love | W.D. Frazee Sermons #1029What is the true measure of God's love? In this powerful sermon delivered on July 29, 1967, Elder W.D. Frazee opens the sanctuary to reveal a love that didn't stop at Calvary — a love that continues to suffer with us, for us, and because of us.Beginning with the deeply personal loss of his own mother, Elder Frazee confronts the great enemy — death — and points to the only remedy: "This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come" (Matthew 24:14).Through the sanctuary service, we discover that the blood-sprinkled way from the altar of sacrifice to the mercy seat tells the story of a sacrifice that began when sin began and cannot cease until sin ceases. In all our afflictions, He is afflicted. Every failure breaks His heart — not because He is weak, but because He loves us.Key Themes: — The sanctuary as a revelation of God's ongoing sacrifice — The Lamb "as it had been slain" (Revelation 5:6) — Christ's continued suffering for His people — The cost of ending sin and what Heaven is paying — Our role in hastening the coming of Jesus — A call to live for Christ rather than for selfKey Texts: Matthew 24:14 | Hebrews 2:14 | Revelation 5:6 | Nahum 1:9Recommended Reading: Education, p. 262 (Ellen G.
