SERMON
NOTES

Choices that affect the individual and the life of the nation
- The choice of Jerusalem to reject Jesus would ultimately have devastating effects. Jerusalem would fall, and with it live lost, people ruined
- When we choose to refuse Jesus coming in the way he choose to – which could be very different from what we are used to – it could have devastating effects on individuals, the Church, and even the country.
- On the other hand the choice to receive his love, his way brings spectacular results
- Lives are changed, cultures are transformed, even a country saved!
God cannot, will not¸ force his love on us.
There is a deep sadness that I believe God has when we reject his ways, his love.
- He knows it is love we cannot function without.
- He knows that is the only way all our other loves can be redeemed
- He also know the devastating results of its refusal

So he comes to us and says,
This is my body…this is my blood. Take it, because I love you. Do this in remembrance of me…
