CAN YOU SEE MY JESUS
Col 1:27
27 To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
(NKJ)
*** There are some things that the world cannot take away.
*** The world cannot take away your joy, hope, faith, blessing.
*** But what it can take away is your Jesus, and then it gets all the other with it.
*** Jesus was offered to the world, the world took Jesus from us.
*** That was the plan of God fulfilled.
*** They took our Jesus! And God allowed it!
John 12:44-45
44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
(KJV)
Phil 2:5-8
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross
(KJV)
*** If I say I love Jesus but you can’t see my Jesus my words are empty.
*** If they can’t see Jesus in me… no more excuses!
*** We need to give ourself away! Because I may be the only Jesus they will see!
*** Too busy? Got problems of my own?
*** It’s easier to say, “Your help is on the way!” but I was your help all along.
*** Every Sunday we are shouting and dancing but can the world see a change?
*** Are we just too selfish to see?
*** The love they need He put inside of me.
*** If I am the hands and feet(the body), why are your hands not healing, why are your feet not going, your arms not reaching?
*** And if your church is built inside of me, where did we go wrong?
*** We’ve been here too long, we can’t see His face anymore!
*** Have mercy on us Jesus, please forgive us Jesus!
*** We’ve lost our purpose if they can’t see Jesus in me.
*** I’ve lied too long, but I’ll change it all today!
*** It’s NEVER too late, because I may be the ONLY Jesus they will ever see.
*** Be careful how you treat each other because you may be the only Jesus they will see.
*** Be careful how you live on Monday morning, you just may be the only Jesus they will see.
*** The world is watching!
