(Second part)

Memory verse: Luke 6:47 " Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like "

Today we’re going to begin on the process of building on the true foundation. Jesus taught three profound truths in the above scripture:  

                a) Coming to Him

                b) Hearing His sayings

                C) Doing them

Let’s talk about coming to Jesus!

It all begins with God opening your eyes to see Jesus the way God sees him. Some people saw Jesus as Elijah, some saw Him as John the Baptist, Some called him Jeremiah, while others could not be bothered simply guessed he was one of the prophets. But Peter saw him rightly as the Christ, the son of the living God. Who is Christ to you and who are you in Christ? Jesus replied that flesh and blood could not reveal who Christ is to people, but only God in Heaven can reveal Him (Matt 16:13-18)

Jesus is the foundation, the rock of ages upon whom we can build our lives. He’s calling those who are broken hearted, those who labor and are heavy laden, to come to him (Matt 11:28). He’s the only person who ever said, I am the way, the truth and the life (Jn 14 :12) He is the One who says to all  who are thirsty come to Him and drink the water of life ( Jn 7:37-39). He’s the one who said " I am the bread of life that came from heaven and whoever eat of me will live forever ”. He’s the one who said the, Spirit of the Lord God is upon me and he has anoint me to preach the good news to the poor, to set the captives free etc (Lk 4:18-19). He’s the stone that the builders rejected but God has made Him the chief cornerstone. His name is Emmanuel, I.e. God with us, He’s the light of the world and whoever follow Him do not walk in darkness but in the light of life (Jn 8:12), he is the Alpha and Omega, He’s the savior of the world, He’s the lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world, He’s the wisdom of God, He has all power and authority in heaven and on the earth, He’s the king of kings, He conquered death, sin and the world and Satan and He’s the soon coming king! He is calling to all and his voice is so powerful and majestic, it reaches to the highest heights and the deepest depth, it reaches to the remotest parts of the earth and the dead in their sins and trespasses are hearing his voice and nations, languages, tongues, peoples are coming to him and finding life and founding their lives upon him.

Tomorrow we'll talk about " Following Jesus "
