How To See Jesus

JOHN 12:20-21

MANY PEOPLE WANT TO SEE JESUS FOR MANY DIFFERENT

REASONS.SOME HAVE NO DESIRE TO SEE HIM UNTIL LIFE

HITS THEM WITH TRAGEDY,THEN THEY DESIRE A MIRACLE.

OTHERS ARE LOOKING FOR JESUS OUT OF CURIOSITY.

STILL OTHERS ARE SEEKING SPIRITUAL THINGS AND

ARE NOT LOOKING IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

ALL OF MANKIND HAS A BUILT IN NEED FOR SPIRITUAL

THINGS AND TO WORSHIP SOMETHING.THIS NEED STEMS

FROM THE FACT THAT WE WERE CREATED BY GOD IN HIS

IMAGE,WE WERE CREATED BY HIM AND FOR HIM COL.1:16

INTODAYS TEXT WE FIND THE ACCOUNT OF THE GREEKS

WHO CAME TO WORSHIP AT THE FEAST,THESE PEOPLE

REALIZED THAT THERE MUST BE SOMETHING MORE TO

TRUE WORSHIP THAN JUST RELIGIOUS RITUAL.AS WE

TO MUST ALSO REALIZE.

NOW A SIMPLE TRUTH IS THAT IF YOU DESIRE TO SEE

SOMEONE THEN YOU MUST SEEK THAT INDIVIDUAL.

TRUE SEEKERS ALWAYS FIND GOD WHEN THEY- DUET 4:29

"IF THOU SHALL SEEK THE LORD THY GOD THOU SHALT

FIND HIM,IF THOU SEEK HIM WITH ALL THY HEART AND

ALL THY SOUL.

TRUE SEEKERS FIND GOD AND SEE GOD THROUGH JESUS

CHRIST JOHN 12:44&45

JOHN 1:18 NO MAN HATH SEEN GOD AT ANY TIME,THE

ONLY BEGOTTEN SON WHICH IS IN THE BOSOM OF THE

FATHER HE HATH DECLARED HIM.

1) GODS DESIRE IS THAT YOU SEE JESUS(THIS MUST BE

YOUR DESIRE ALSO,YOU MUST SEEK GOD THROUGH JESUS).

2) GODS DESIGN IS YOU BE SAVED THROUGH JESUS.JOHN

12:27-32 AND JOHN 3:16&17

YOU MUST BE SAVED THROUGH GODS DESIGN NOT MANS

DESIGN, JOHN 1: 10- HE WAS IN THE WORLD AND

THE WORLD WAS MADE BY HIM AND THE

WORLD KNEW HIM NOT.HE CAME UNTO HIS OWN AND

HIS OWN RECIEVED HIM NOT,BUT AS MANY AS

RECIEVED HIM TO THEM GAVE HE THE POWER TO

BECOME SONS OF GOD.EVEN TO THEM WHO BELIEVE

ON HIS NAME. WHICH WERE BORN NOT OF BLOOD NOR

THE WILL OF THE FLESH NOR OF THE WILL OF MAN

BUT OF GOD.

3) IT IS GODS DEMAND THAT JESUS BE GLORIFIED. THEN

ON THE CROSS,JOHN 12:32-34

TRULY HIS HOUR HAD COME,BUT GODS DEMAND IS THAT

IF WE WANT TO SEE JESUS WE MUST CONTINUE TO

GLORIFY HIM.

A) IN YOUR LIFE( TALENTS,TIME AND TITHE

B) IN HIS CHURCH.THROUGH OUR PRAISES THROUGH OUR

PREACHING,THROUGH OUR PRAYERS.

C) GLORIFY HIM IN OUR HOMES AND OUR HEARTS.

IF WE WANT TO SEE JESUS WE MUST GLORIFY JESUS.

IF WE TRULY WANT TO SEE JESUS WE MUST SERVE HIM

JOHN 12 :26

IF WE TRULY WANT TO SEE JESUS WE MUST FOLLOW HIM

JOHN 12:26 FOLLOW, HIM JESUS IS ON THE MOVE,HE IS

DOING MIGHTY WORKS IN MENS HEARTS AND LIVES.IF WE

DONT FOLLOW HIM WE WONT SEE HIM.IF YOU ARE FOLLOWING JESUS YOU WILL BE FISHING FOR JESUS.

DID YOU EVER NOTICE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE

FOLLOWING SOMEONE AND YOU START FALLING BEHIND,

THE FARTHER AHEAD THEY GET THE SMALLER THEY GET. HAS

THIS HAPPENED TO YOU IN YOUR WALK WITH CHRIST. HAVE

YOU GOTTEN SO FAR FROM JESUS THAT HE HAS GROWN

SMALLER TO YOU. THEN CATCH UP!!!!!

LASTLY IF YOU WANT TO SEE JESUS YOU MUST STAY IN

THE LIGHT JOHN 12:35-36 YOU CANT SEE ANYTHING IN

THE DARK,YOU MUST HAVE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

SHINING ON YOU THROUGH YOU AND ONTO OTHERS.

AMEN.
