''The Followers of Easter''

‘’The Followers of Easter’’

Text: The Book of John

Outline:

1. Judas - The one who Deceives. (13:24-30)

There are always some who are in it for them.

For the child of God it should be what can I give.

James 1:22c

'' deceiving yourselves.''

1 Corinthians 3:18

"Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise."

He was Trusted with money

He had Terrible Motives

He had Truly missed the Master

He spent all that time with Jesus with out excepting Jesus.

2. Peter - The one who Denies. (18:15-18;25-27)

He claimed reclienence

His character was revealed

His carelessness caused regret

A true follower doesn’t deny him but we will deny yourself.

3. Thomas- The one who Doubts (20:24-31)

John 20:27

• God restore my confidence in you

Proverbs 3:26

For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

• Which one are you?

I must confess we missed a very important follower in our search this morning.

Close: Joseph - The one who Decided

(John 19:38-42)

• There was a day he doubted
• There was time he deceived and though he was doing right hiding his relationship with Jesus.

• There may have been times he also denied

• But at crunch time he decided he wasn’t gonna leave Jesus hanging

Let us leave like Joseph Deciding to be the follower he wants us to be.
