#1 - You can Overcome: Luke 22:39-44
"Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him. On reaching the place, he said to them, "Pray that you will not fall into temptation." He withdrew about a stone's throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done." An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthen him. And being anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground."
~Jesus sweat blood so that we can be an overcomer~
#2 - You can be Special: Isaiah 50:6-7
"I offered my back to those who beat me, my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard; I did not hide my face from the mocking and spitting. Because the Sovereign LORD helps me, I will not be disgraced."
~Jesus was beaten and His beard was being pulled out~
#3 - You can Win!: Matthew 27:27-31
"Then the governor's soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company of soldiers around him. They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand and knelt in front of him and mocked him. "Hail, king of the Jews!" they said. They spit on him, and took the staff and struck him on the head again and again. After they had mocked him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to crucify him."
~Jesus wore the crowns of torns so that we can win~
#4 - You can be healed!: Isaiah 53:1-6
"Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry gound. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all."
~His wounds healed us~
#5 - You can do Great things: Exodus 15:6-7
"Your right hand, O LORD, was majestic in power. Your right hand, O LORD, shattered the enemy. In the greatness of your majesty you threw down those who opposed you. You unleashed your burning anger; it consumed them like stubble."
~Jesus' hand was so great and yet it was nailed on the cross so that we can do Great things~
#6 - You can dream!: Ephesians 2:8-10
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is by gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."
~Jesus' feet was nailed on the cross so that we can walk the Jesus dream~
#7 - You can be happy!: Psalms 34:18 & Ezekiel 36:26-27
"The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." &
"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws."
~Jesus was pierced at the side into the heart so that we can be happy with a renewed heart~
