Jesus is Your Shelter

Main message: The preacher uses the image of a tornado shelter to explain that Jesus is the believer’s true refuge from God’s coming judgment. Those who belong to Christ are not only safe in him, but also marked as his own.

Key points:

• A tornado shelter illustration shows the need for real protection in sudden danger.
• God’s coming judgment on Babylon and the world is compared to a tornado.
• Jesus is presented as the shelter that keeps believers safe from wrath.
• Believers are also “marked,” meaning they belong to Jesus and are known by him.
• The world is temporary and unstable, but Jesus secures his people forever.
• Jesus is described as the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world.
