Dying To Speak For Christ
Rev 6: 9-11
Take-Home Truth: God’s justice will prevail even if the world’s events appear random and hopeless.
Christ-Connection: Christ is planning His return and our future deliverance from suffering and pain.
Hook: (Ice-breaker question. Get the group talking!)
Option 1: What are you willing to suffer and die for?
Option 2: BRIEFLY describe a time where you longed for justice but it never came.
Engage: (Observe the passage and engage with the text)
(Rev 6: 9-11) Read this passage together. What observations / questions / concerns come to mind as you read this text? Where is God’s character on display in this passage?
Reflect: (Reflect upon the key take-aways from the sermon)
- At the root of it, why do we as Christians long for justice in this world?
- Describe God’s response to the martyrs’ prayer for justice in Rev 6: 10-11. How does that inform our faith regarding God’s sovereign promises?
Respond: (Apply the truths of God’s Word to your heart, affections, and actions)
Read Luke 9:23. How can we prepare now (today) to remain faithful to the truth of Christ?
- Richard stated, “We pray for justice not because we want to see evil people suffer, but because we want evil people to stop causing pain to others.” Read these biblical examples of prayers for justice: Ps 35:1; Ps 35: 17; Ps 74: 10; Ps 94: 2-7. How does this encourage you to pray for justice in this world?
