“Is It I, Lord?” - Dr. Doug Melton

Matthew 26:17-25

• The Christian faith is not built upon spiritual ideas or philosophies; the Christian faith is built upon actual historical events.

“Biblical Christianity refuses to separate historical fact from spiritual meaning. Its core claim is that the living God has acted in history, especially in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.“

Nancy Pearcey

• God’s plan vs man’s plan

• Most beautiful picture of loving faith; darkest act of misguided hate

• In your darkest hour, God is in control.

Jesus’ statement is meant to provoke the very question the disciples asked.

2A. God knows your heart, even if you don’t.

“Search me, O God, and know my heart!

Try me and know my thoughts!

And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!“

Psalm 139:23-24

2B. God knows your heart, even if no one else does.

The path home begins with “Lord, it is me.“
