Upper Room Discourse: Introduction

This is the first part in a series on the upper room discourse by Br Fred Kosin. The Lord Jesus Christ wanted his disciples to hear, remember, recognize and absorb everything he taught them before his betrayal. This was so that they would be prepared for the enormous responsibility after he was taken from them. As a result, Br. Kosin begins with an introduction to these 5 chapters, which are derived from key insights in these chapters.

Call to Serve with Gladness

The prophet Joel strongly exhorted the people of Judah to closely consider the severity and effects of the plague that had just gone by. This plague of locusts was also to be a warning of the future judgement to come. It’s severe effect in their individual lives and in the priestly service rendered in the temple of God are brought to light, directing our attention to the taking away of the meal offering and drink offering. The joy of the people had withered away.
In this sermon, Br. Rexlin focuses on these portions and exhorts how the scriptural principles found in this book may be applied as a timely warning for the assemblies today.
