THE THREE CHEERS OF JESUS

THE THREE CHEERS OF JESUS

Your emotional state goes a long way in determining what you accomplish in life.

We all know when you’re down- you don’t get much done.​

We Can Choose Our Emotional State.

Nothing can really make us get down. Every time we allow ourselves to really get down, we waste things:  time, energy, testimony, tears, etc.  That’s why God is cheering for us.

Jesus is cheering for us that we will make the right choice and choose joy.  For a person to experience joy, there is usually a reason; Jesus give us 3 reasons to be of cheer:

1. Be of Good Cheer your sins are forgiven you

Matthew 9:1-2

And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city. 2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.

• Sin separates us from God

Isaiah 59:2

​But your iniquities have separated you from your God;

And your sins have hidden His face from you,

So that He will not hear.

• Sin disqualifies us from Heaven. 

2 Cor. 5:21

21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him

• Weighs us down

Heb 12:1-2

Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us

• Sin lies to you   

True good cheer is only found in forgiveness of sin not pills, fame, partying, money or other material things.

2. Be of Good Cheer, It is I, Do not be Afraid 

Matt. 14:23-27

23 And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there. 24 But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary. 25 Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. 26 And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out for fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.”

27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.”

3. Be of Good Cheer I have Overcome the World

Jn. 16:33

These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

a. Be of good cheer even in midst of tribulation- he is in us and he has overcome

b. Tribulation, if you let it, can steal your cheer and peace

God Is Cheering For Us

1. Sins Forgiven

2. We Have Him

3. He Overcame the World

With all that we can stay of good cheer.
