Three Verbs of the Gospel
April 25th, 2009
& the powerful application of 2 Corinthians 13:5
The following outline is taken from the oral notes of E. Ray Cox, during the series, The Time of Trouble, presented at Cape Girardeau, Missouri (April 22-26, 2009).
“Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith…”
(2 Corinthians 13:5, ESV)
Introduction: 2 Corinthians 13:5 is a self-test for every Christian.
This self-test is applicable to three specific verbs of the gospel-Come,
Go, or, Wait.
I. “Come unto me” (Matthew 11:28-30)
II. “Go” (Matt. 28:18)
III. “Wait” (Acts 1:4; Lk. 24:49)
Conclusion: Although 2 Corinthians 13:5 is a self-critique in general, it allows us to identify our own Christian development. Are you coming, going or waiting?
