(We’ve Been Sent To Tell His Story)

TO THE BIBLE: John 14:9 CEV
“Jesus replied: Philip, I have been with you for a long time. Don’t you know who I am? If you have seen me, you have seen the Father. How can you ask me to show you the Father?”

LET’S TALK
All over the world, people pray in the Name of Jesus. They preach about Him on the streets and every week in churches. Some have written books about Him, sung about Him, and prophesied in His Name.

But a very painful reality is that many don’t know who He really is. True, they’ve heard about Him, but He’s not merely “a great religious leader” that many know Him as; He is God.

Sadly, even among preachers, some only know Him as the Saviour who saved the world from their sins. But Jesus Christ is much more than that.

He is God Himself: the omnipotent, immortal God, living in the unapproachable light of divine glory, coequal with the Father, and the full embodiment of the God-head (Colossians 1:19; 2:9; 1 Timothy 6:14–16).

Jesus is the King of kings and Lord of all, who has all authority in heaven, on earth, and under the earth. We’re His witnesses, and we have to let the world know that He’s real and that He came to die as a man for all men; He was raised from the dead and lives forever.

Let’s get busy telling the whole world about Him. The work we’re doing here on earth isn’t an end in itself.

One day, we will have shared with the last person the Gospel of Jesus Christ; we will have held the last conference or the last church service; we will have completed everything He asked us to do; and then we’ll hear that trumpet sound.

The Lord will appear, and we’ll receive crowns of glory: “And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away” (1 Peter 5:4 NIV). Glory to His Name forever!

Speak:
Blessed Lord Jesus, how great you are! You’re the immortal God, the King of kings and Lord of all, with all authority in heaven, on earth, and under the earth. You’re the Master and Ruler, the One with supreme authority and preeminence. I believe with all my heart and declare with my mouth that you’re my Lord; you’re God over all and the One who made all things! I love you, Lord!
