What Will You Do With Jesus?

This was the Title of the message that Nathan preached last night. The Scripture was Joshua chapter twenty- four, verses fourteen through eighteen.



14 Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.


15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.


16 And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods;


17 For the LORD our God, he it is that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people through whom we passed:


18 And the LORD drave out from before us all the people, even the Amorites which dwelt in the land: therefore will we also serve the LORD; for he is our God.



The Text was verse fifteen.



I gave my Mom my pen on the way to church last night and forgot to get it back, so I wasn't able to take notes like I normally do, but I wanted to share with you the main part of the message.



First of all, Nathan drew a comparison between the two Masters. The Devil and the Lord.

He talked about who the Devil is and how he works to destroy peoples lives. Then, he spoke of who Jesus is and what He has done for us, and how He leads and directs the lives of those who will trust Him.

Secondly, Nathan drew a comparison between the two Destinies. Heaven or Hell. Ahh, Heaven with all its splendor and majesty. Gates of Pearl and streets of gold, a sea of crystal, and so many more things that the Lord has prepared for His children. These things are wonderful but to be able to see our Saviour face to face, will be the Ultimate Reward.

Hell. The very word should send shivers up our spines. A place of torment, a lake of fire that those who reject Christ will never escape from. A place where all the chances that people have had to repent, will torment them even more, than the horror that they will already be experiencing. What a horrible reward for those who refuse the blessed Son of God.

Nathan then told about people who had chosen God, like Joshua and Darius, and those who had chosen Satan, like Pilate.

There were a few things that Nathan said that really stood out to me. One of them was, Hell is paved with good intentions. How many people will miss Heaven because they planned on taking care of Spiritual things tomorrow, or when they are older. The other was, The Devil is powerful enough to tempt you, but he is not powerful enough to make you go against your will, nor is he anywhere near more powerful than God. Isn't it wonderful that with Jesus as your Captain you can stand and defeat the enemy!?!

The Lord helped Nathan to bring every person to a crossroad. At that crossroads they had to answer the question, What will I Do With Jesus ?


An amazing sermon, to which I did not do justice. Nathan, you did an incredible job! The Lord has great things in store for you!
