Gods plan

Genesis 2 — God walked with us

Genesis 3 & 4 — The fall of man. The first murder.

Genesis 6 —so much wickedness in the world that God grieved that he had made mankind...Genesis 6:5-8

God creates a people unto himself and we read about a 1000 years of God trying to have a relationship with his people.

MEN HAVE ALWAYS REJECTED GOD AND CHOSEN WICKEDNESS EVERY STEP OF THE WAY!

God sends Jesus

Jesus came to save!

— samaritan woman at the well, scorned and ridiculed. He broke down racial divides and challenged Racism!

— adulterous women, hypocrisy and injustice!

— the lame, the sick, the socially outcast and forgotten.

— the poor and the needy. He broke down economic boundaries.

Jesus suffered the evils of this world!

— ridiculed and rejected

— scorned and beaten

— mocked and tortured

— abandoned!

THE CROSS WAS THE ULTIMATE DISPLAY OF INJUSTICE!

Why was it unjust! Should have been me!

Our only hope is Jesus!

1 Peter 2:21-25

Hebrews 12:2-3 Focus on Jesus! Do not loose heart!!

God's plan did not end with the cross! It started there! Matthew 28:18-20
