Intro:
God cast judgement on the world’s condition seen in the cross.
Before we knew anything was wrong, we learned about the Cross, and last week Jesus’ resurrection from the dead.
Its only after the fact we have to learn, why did God do that?
That is what we are looking at today, how long could God ignore what people do?
Its the 20th anniversary of Columbine school massacre.
I won’t say the name of the shooters, though some of you remember the names.
I don’t want to contribute to their memory so won’t mention them today.
But one of the shooter’s mothers talked about the missing the signs… the guilt she felt.
The shooters had journals that record some of the days around the events and the coarseness of their talk and attitudes show some boys in raw form.
We have gotten so use to some of it
As God looks down, how long can God be expected to ignore what he sees?
People’s Condition: It May Begin With Ignorance
Can God Ignore ignorance?
People’s Condition: Is a Refusal to Credit God
Can God Ignore People Blatantly Disregarding him?
People’s Condition: Is an Abandon to Appetites
Can God Ignore Increase in our sinful state?
People’s Condition: Needs God’s Help
Before Paul began talking about wrath, he writes about righteousness from God.
Paul is not a hell-fire accuser, he is a preacher of the gospel.
He had to describe the condition Jesus had to die for
David Brainerd was a missionary to the American Indians in New York, New Jersey, and eastern Pennsylvania.
He was only on the mission field for four years and died at the age of 29.
But in that short period of time he led several hundred to the Lord.
On one occasion, he was witnessing to a chief, who was very close to deciding for Christ.
But he held back; there was some pause or hesitation.
Brainerd got up, took a stick, drew a circle in the soft earth about the chief, and said, "Decide before you cross that line."
Why this passion and urgency?
Because Brainerd recognized that at that moment, that chief was close to God.
If he missed that moment, he might never be so close again.
