Warning labels: there are some that we pay no attention to. For example a coffee cup that warns the contents are hot – I hope so. Sometimes we push the warning boundary (e.g. 25 MPH curve). Sometimes we ignore the warning and experience consequences (Wash only in cold water or it will shrink). Sometimes we respect the warning because we understand the risk (e.g. Don’t walk on thin ice over cold lake). (bruce re: bike on treadmill in garage). What are some of the reasons why people reject warnings? Today we’ll discover the benefits of heeding the warnings.

The King’s commission, or Great Commission, provides the essence of the mission for all of Jesus’ disciples. Throughout Matthew’s gospel we’ve discovered Jesus’ invitation to become citizens of His kingdom. The values and benefits of the kingdom of heaven, or kingdom of God, have been contrasted with the values and benefits of this world. God’s kingdom is available to those who choose to make Jesus their king. Today, we’ll discover three traits of Jesus’ disciples, or those who’ve made Christ king.

Imagine the disciples in the midst of Jesus’ arrest, trials, and crucifixion. All of Jesus’ promises, all the prophecies, and all the anticipation related to the Coming Messiah was likely forgotten or obscured. They were frightened, confused, grieved, and hopeless. Similarly, we face difficult circumstances that seem hopeless. As we contemplate Christ crucified we'll discover five reasons to have hope in Jesus.
