Titus – Living in Light of the Cross – 2011 – Canberra, AUS

The life of faith is a spiritual journey beginning at the moment of new birth (regeneration) through personal faith in Jesus Christ as Savior, and continuing onward and upward from spiritual infancy—through the stages of spiritual growth— into maturity and beyond. I refer to it as the journey “from the cross to the crown.”

The little book of Titus, one of Paul’s “pastoral epistles,” provides a short-course on the life of faith. As we explore the great and timeless truth contained in this epistle, we will refer again and again to the “life of faith” and the journey “from the cross to the crown,” and to the many promises and provisions supplied by God in His matchless grace for those who choose to live in the light of the cross.

This was the subject of the Spring 2011 Conference in Canberra, Australia.

He will wipe away every tear

Revelation 21:4 says, "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes." We all carry wounds. We all carry the scars of life. And you may be dealing with a broken heart, or with great sorrow. I want you to understand that Earth has no wound that heaven can't heal. People lose hope. People lose a sense of purpose. They lose a sense of their identity. Who am I? Why am I here? They may take their own life. If only they knew. If only there was someone to tell them. There is healing for your hurt. There is healing for your wounds. And it's going to be taken away forever. Revelation 21:4 continues, "There will no longer be any death. There will no longer be any mourning or crying or pain. The first thing is have passed away." Do you realize that when Paul says in 2nd Corinthians 5:17, "if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things have passed away and all things become new." It links to this passage(Revelation 21) because what it's telling you is as far as your concern that new creation has already started, it's already begun in you. Why? Because you are now a new creature in Christ. You are a part of the new creation that isn't even here yet. There is a creation that is coming that is perfectly designed for the new you that God has created. And tragically, too many Christians haven't even discovered who the new "them" really is.
