Congregation.

In your reading of the Scriptures you may have noticed that there is quite a bit of comedy in some passages!

Some of the proverbs are amusing, like the ones describing the sluggard:

The sluggard says, 'There is a lion in the road,

a fierce lion roaming the streets'.

As a door turns on its hinges,

so a sluggard turns in his bed.

The sluggard buries his hand in the dish;

he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth. (26:13-15)

When you go to the top part of the Niagara Falls there is a point which is called "the point of no return". No boat, no matter how powerful the engine, is able to pull away from the surging of water heading over the falls. Once that point is reached, a crash at the bottom of the falls is inevitable. In many ways we could say that our text is the point of no return for Jesus. From this moment all the events linked to His death will unfold. From this moment He is under constant guard and cannot escape. From this moment His destiny is in the hands of the Pharisees, Pilate, the crowds and the soldiers.

God's Son Saves!

A Sermon by Rev Sjirk Bajema

on Heidelberg Catechism, Lord's Day 11

Scripture Reading:

Matthew 1:18-25; Colossians 1:15-23

Congregation in our Lord Jesus Christ.

We have confessed the first phrase of the Apostles' Creed. Each one of us have said, "I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth."

You know, that's a phenomenal thing to say. This believing is throwing your whole life on whoever this God is. And to confess that He is your Father is claiming a relationship that's quite unique. There's no other religion in this world which has ever claimed to come so close to God - nor will any other ever do so! And for those who are in Christ, the claim is true!!
