Jesus and judgement

Luke 12:49-58

Love wins, Rob Bell 

What did Jesus come to do? 

1. Jesus brings the fire of God’s judgement on the last day (49)

Why would Jesus long for that day? 

• Destruction and renewal
• The renewal of the creation (Romans 8:19-21)
• The settling of injustices (Revelation 8:10)

2. Jesus bears the fire of God’s Judgement on the cross (50)

• The cost to Jesus is incalculable. 
• Driven by love not vindictiveness 

3. Jesus brings division based on people’s response to him (51-53)
4. Respond rightly to the evidence concerning Jesus (54-59)

• Settle out of God’s court prior to the day of God’s judgement (57-59)

Conclusion

• Faith in Christ
• Faith in Christ’s judgment
