Drawing Near pt. 1
John 2:13-25
3/20/22
So in order to draw near…
1.  Have a passion for God’s house v.13-17
2.  Know the power of his resurrection v.18-22        
Why do we need to know the power of Jesus’ resurrection?  
1.  It overcame the power of spiritual death.
Revelations 20:6, “Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power.”
2. It assures our faith and salvation. 
1 Corinthians 15:17, “And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins.”
3.  It’s an anchor for my faith and hope
1 Peter 1:21, “Through Christ you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.”
