Tonight we continued our study of the Bible by looking at the resolution. The resolution, also known as the Denouement is the point in which the conflict is revealed to be resolved and there is an unravelling of the knots of the plot. In fact denouement is the combonation of two words which mean to untie a knot.
In the beginning we had a conflict arise between God and humans, so they couldn't have a close relationship anymore, sin had tied us up with knots so that we couldn't escape, because of this we are destined to die and go to hell. But God had a plan to untie those knots of sin, and it involved Him coming to earth and dying for us, talking our sin upon Himself, this was the climax of the book we talked about last week. Then Jesus was buried, everyone on earth, and even Satan, thought the plan had failed, but God's plan had actually worked. Early on that following Sunday morning Jesus rose from the grave, alive! The resurrection of Jesu was the resolution to the conflict. It proved that Jesus had defeated sin and death, he had untied the knot of sin that was keeping God and humanity apart. We could have a close relationship with him again, and we oculd go to eternity with him instead of hell when we die. Denouement means untying a knot. Your life is in a knot if you haven't made Jesus your God. You are tied up in your sins and have no way to escape. But Jesus' death and resurrection has provided a way to have those sins untied and give us freedom, allw e have to do is repent and make him our God. Are you ready for him to untie your knots? Just ask.
