Sermon Notes: Sunday, April 10

Text: Rev 14:6-20


Big Idea: God's Judgement Is Coming


Summary: God’s judgment is coming to the earth (vv.6-7). It brings overwhelming destruction (v.8), and consists of God’s undiluted wrath (vv.9-11). God's judgment will come: the time is set (vv.14-16)  . . . with violent destruction beyond anything you dare to imagine (vv.17-20).


How does this message affect us? 

• We try to change God: "Let's just talk about the love of God and forget all this talk about judgment and wrath and hell.
• We try to convince ourselves it's not real, not true.

The Good News that leads us to adore and rejoice in Christ: 

• God’s judgment is coming: it brings overwhelming destruction, consists of God’s undiluted wrath, & it will take place  . . . violent destruction beyond anything you dare to imagine 
• and so Jesus entered wrath & judgment because he would rather go through hell than live forever without you.
• "The Judge of the earth came not to bring judgment but to bear judgment and go to hell for us." Tim Keller
• The Son of God took the cup of God's wrath from us  . . . by willing taking the cup and drinking it to the dregs at the cross so that you never have to taste the undiluted strength of God's anger against your sin.
