Easter // Jesus Reframes

1. Jesus REFRAMES Your PAST Romans 8:27-28 NIV  27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God. 28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. John 20:24-28 NASB  24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, who was called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples were saying to him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the imprint of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.” 26 Eight days later His disciples were again inside, and Thomas was with them. Jesus *came, the doors having been shut, and stood in their midst and said, “Peace be to you.” 27 Then He *said to Thomas, “Place your finger here, and see My hands; and take your hand and put it into My side; and do not continue in disbelief, but be a believer.” 28 Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”  1. Jesus REFRAMES Your PAST 2. Jesus REFRAMES the PRICE Romans 8:31-34a NIV  31 If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34a Who then is the one who condemns? No one.  1. Jesus REFRAMES Your PAST 2. Jesus REFRAMES the Price 3. Jesus REFRAMES the PROCESS Romans 8:34b-35  34b…Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?  Romans 8:37 NIV 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.  John 10:10 NASB   10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. 1.
