I. TEXTUAL THOUGHTS 1. 1 Corinthians 10:1-13 - Israel under the
Law is an example for us of God’s power and justice 2. 1 Corinthians 15:20-28 - Death is the last

to Jesus for the hope of eternal life 5. Hebrews 7:24-25 - Because of His eternal

2:1-8 - Because Jesus is reigning until all His enemies are defeated, we
need to listen to His message, and accept His salvation. The judgment under the Law of Moses should
convince us that God will keep His word, so we should know the promised blessings
and judgment of Christ will all come about. 1. We must obey the teachings of Jesus -

under the Law - verse 2; 1 Cor 10:1-13 b. because we have seen the love of God
demonstrated on the cross - verse 3; John 3:16 c. because the message was proved with power by the Holy Spirit - verse 4; John 20:30-31; Mark
16:17-20 d. because we will drift away if we do not hold fast to Jesus - verse 1; 1 Cor 15:1-4; Heb

Jesus - verses 5-8 a. Jesus’ authority is over the angels - verse 5; 1 Peter 3:22 b. Yet He was a man like you and me - verse 6; John 1:14; Matt 11:19; Mark 15:39; Rom 5:15; 1

Water is found in three forms: ice, vapor, and liquid. The ice can represent the Father; the liquid can represent Jesus, the water of life; and
