#91 All Yes and Amen?http://www.box.net/shared/jleagl1avf
Sermon based on 2 Corinthians 1:18-20
18 But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.”
19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me and Silas and Timothy—was not “Yes” and “No,” but in him it has always been “Yes.”
20 For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.
The Parable of the Sower has been described to be the "mother of all parables". This is because Jesus told His disciples that if they did not understand this parable, they would not be able to understand all His other parables.
In the same way, 2 Cor 1:20 contains what Rev Reuben describes as the "mother of all promises": it contains the promise that all other promises found in the Scripture are a definite yes and amen because of what Christ has accomplished for us via His perfect work on the cross.
