c. God’s invisible Hand is still actively at work in the lives and ministries of believers

in Christ.

Where is Jesus going? 7:32-36

So What:

a. The way up still and always goes through Jesus (John 14:6; Jn. 10)

b. The sober message of Jesus is that no unbeliever is able to go where He is,

heaven. But he or she will spend eternity where Jesus is not–Hell:

“Seek the LORD while he may be found” (Isa. 55:6).

“Behold now is the acceptable time, behold, now is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2)
