I Want To See Jesus by Pastor Claude Whittaker recorded live at Deeper Life Ministries located in Salisbury Maryland.
I just want to pull out a few points before we go to the baptism this morning. Amen. I want to bring you up to date of what's going on. Lazarus have died. And uh told the Lord, and the Lord waited a few more days to make sure that what seemed to be impossible, he could show that it was possible. So he comes and he uh calls Lazarus forth. And he had to be specific because if he called everything forth, everything would have moved. And he said, Lazarus come forth. They said to the Lord, Surely by now he stinketh. He's been in there four days. Rigamorus had said into his body, his body had begun to break down the worm, oh worms of his flesh, began to eat his flesh. And when the Lord Jesus said to them, I am the resurrection and the light. Though a man be dead yet believe on me, yet shall he live. And then he called Lazarus to come forth. Now the worm, flesh worms that were eaten on his flesh, had to split up his flesh. His body had to come back together. And his spirit and soul had to come back into that body. Amen. As they roll away the stone, Lazarus comes out of the tomb. Still wrapped in his grave clothes. And Jesus said, Loose him and let him go. It is the power of God, the Spirit of God that brings eternal life. I denote unto you that Jesus told the disciples that were standing by, loose him and let him go. He was still in his grave clothes. Which means, amen, God gives us life through the Spirit. But he calls the man of God to loose the people that they might be set free so that they can be set free from their sins. It is the power of God, amen, that delivers us, it's the power of God that saves us. But God, amen, has men called by God, that he empowers with the ability to bind and to loose. And so he loosed him from his grave clothes. And the Bible says in John 12 and 17 that the people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the grave and raised him from the dead, they bear record. Amen. They uh saw it. And uh there was a lot of commotion because the Lord had raised him up out of his grave. And so there were a lot of commotion. People are excited when the Lord uh raised us up. Well, Pastor, I wasn't dead. Well, I literally was dead, and the Lord uh brought me back from death. But some of us were dead in our trespasses and sins, and the Lord touched us and raised us up, and when he raised us up, there were a lot of commotion. People wanted to see who is this that once lived this life, but now they're living for God. A lot of commotion. Who is this? Amen that was a drunkard. Now they're talking about hallelujah in the house of God. Who is this that once was struggling, amen, with drugs, but now they find themselves giving God honor and glory? Who is this, amen, that once was like this, but now the Lord has got a hold of them with his resurrection power, and everybody wants to come and see what God has done. Uh God, the people didn't think that you were able, amen, to live a life that you're living now. Amen. Because of your former life. Amen. And so there was a lot of commotion when God does something. There's a lot of commotion. People want to come and see what the Lord is doing. And the Bible said, for this cause, the people also met him, for they had heard that he had done this miracle. So a lot of people wanted to come not only to see uh Jesus, but they wanted to see Lazarus. They wanted people have different views of what they want to see. People come for different reasons. I want to come see uh where you go, church. I want to come see uh the Lord. I want, you know, nowadays people come church to see if they can get a man or a woman. People have different reasons why they come to church. People come to church for for for see what they can get. People want to come to church, they want to see what you got on. People come for various different reasons. But here, the people heard what the Lord was doing. Could you imagine? Could you imagine Eden? Could you imagine if if if somebody, I pray it don't happen, but if somebody uh would die and then the Spirit of the Lord would raise them up from the dead, and then the ambulance and 16 news would come in here, and they had it filmed, and the person got up and walked. Amen. There would be so much commotion in the city. It'd be so much commotion in the city that folk be running in here for various reasons. Some people would be have sickness in their bodies, and they would want the Lord to touch them, and some folk would want some of their family members probably raised, and some folk would say there's power over there. Amen. The worst thing that can happen in a church is not understand the unlimited ability of power that we possess. We must learn as people how to harness the power of God. Oh, yes, the Spirit of the Lord still raised the dead, he still heals the sick, people are still being delivered, and people are still being set free in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I wish I had two or three of them that really believed that. So that really know that God can do the impossible. Tell somebody, look at my life. He did the impossible with my life. Yes, I was a sinner and saved by grace. Hallelujah. But God did the impossible. I used to go around and I did those things that were imaginable, but God did the impossible with my life. Hallelujah. Yes, they said I could never be right, but the Lord made me right. Hallelujah. Uh glory to God. I know my God is able to do it. Amen. He takes a sinner and make him a saint. Oh God, take a thief, amen, and make him a preacher. Amen. Take a drug dealer and make him a preacher. God is able to do it. Take a whoremonger and make him a preacher in the name of the Lord. My God. My God is able to do it. Hallelujah. The church has missed their calling. I say it again. The church has missed its calling because it's so caught up in everyday venture, everyday things, but not going back. We need, watch this. We need to get back to the old landmark. Y'all listening to me. Yeah, the girl said, Oh, he's an old school preacher. And I say, Thank God. Thank God. That's what your friend said. Oh, I like that. He's an old school preacher. Yeah, thank God that I'm an old school preacher because it still works. All this stuff don't work. Give you emotionalism. Give you emotionalism. A bunch of music. Bunch of music, bunch of emotionalism, bunch of programs, no word, no power, no authority, and no anointing. Give me the power. How many of y'all want the power? Give me the power. I want the power. See, the power is something you can feel. You got the spirit of the Lord. You can feel the power. Right? Emotionalism don't last. But the power will keep you. Watch this. The Bible says in 2 Peter, we're kept by the power of God. Yes, God will keep you. Amen. So here they come down to look and to see what's going on. I'm not going to be long. I'm not going to be long. But to see what's going on. And it's just something about how God moves on me. And I'll tell you, I told you I got up this morning, I'm sick, sick as a dog. And uh, but uh when the Holy Ghost comes on me. Yeah. When the Holy Ghost touched me, yeah, it pushes me past my infirmity. When God moves on me, and it pushes me to keep going. And uh I'll travel up to uh a Chester and I'll probably be sick again. But right now I'm feeling pretty good because when I think of the goodness of the Lord and all that he's done in my life, hallelujah. No way in the world can I just give God the bare minimal. I've got to give God the maximal because a maximal God deserves a maximal praise. Uh God, hallelujah. Uh, thank you. Glory, glory. I feel something in the stratosphere. I feel it in the stratosphere. Yes, I feel it. I feel it in the stratosphere. Yes, I feel it. And uh my prayer is that Brother Tremain, that when I take you down in water, that you'll come out of that water speaking in tongues. Let the Spirit of God give the utterance. Hallelujah. Yes. I'm praying that you come out of that water crying on the name that's above every name. That you come out of that water saying, Jesus, you'll figure with the Holy Ghost. The Bible said that that in verse 20. Now, here's an amazing factor in the scripture. And uh uh I don't have no notes, I don't need no notes. I preach by inspiration of the Holy Ghost. And uh God reveals his word to me. And uh nothing wrong with people that want to use notes, they want to use notes, fine, but you you're gonna have to stick to your notes, and God can't take you nowhere you want to take it because you're so caught up in your notes. And uh I learned a long time ago to trust the Lord, and by trust in the Lord, he'll give you something to say, He will give you something to say, amen. And so the Bible says here there were certain Greeks among them. Very important word here. There were certain Greeks, that word is Gentile, the Greeks among them, and watch this is what the Gentiles are doing. They're coming up to worship at the feast. What yes, the Gentiles are coming up to worship at the feast. Now, some Gentiles were uh they were changed over to Judah Judaism, and uh, and some just came down to see. Now, the the the Gentiles could only go into the outer court, they weren't permitted to go into the inner court, they could only stay on the outer court, on the peripheral. Yeah, could you imagine worshiping God on the peripheral?
unknownOh my god.
SPEAKER_00Y'all gonna make me preach this morning. Uh could you imagine not being able to worship God up close in spirit and truth? But you're just on the outside from the peripheral. Everybody's laying their sacrifice on the altar, and you got to get somebody else to lay yours on the altar. We don't want no peripheral worshipers. God wants worshipers that are close to him. Amen. Hallelujah. Where are my close-up worshipers at? Yes, don't want to worship him from afar off. There were proselytes. That's what the word proselyte means. A proselyte is a person who is a gentile from another nation, but they've converted over to Judaism. That's what a proselyte is. Amen. They converted over, and so they came down to worship. Now, they heard what was going on and they wanted to worship at the feast. And uh the Bible says that the same came therefore to Philip. And they came to Philip that was at Bethsaadia of Galilee, and they desired him a something. I have something that I have a desire for you from Philip, and uh saying, uh, sir, we want to see Jesus. I I came up here to worship, but I really want to see Jesus, and I know that worship is a way to see Jesus. Yes, I didn't come to church to see you this morning. I come to have an encounter with Jesus. Anybody want to come to have an encounter with Jesus? I come to get something from the Lord. I want to see Jesus. I want to see Jesus. Sir, we want to see Jesus. Now, this perplexed Philip because Philip doesn't understand that the Lord would say, I've got sheep that are not of this fold. Them I must bring with me also. So it was not just the mind of God to save the Jews. He said, I was found of them that sought not after me. He knew the Jews would reject him and he would open up the door for the Gentile nation to be saved. But it wasn't their time yet. Good, good God Almighty. And so he came and they said, Sir, might not be our time, but we want to see Jesus. Now, as I stated earlier, every eye is gonna behold him, they're gonna look upon him who they pierced in the side. Everybody's gonna see the Lord when they come back. He's gonna come back and the world's gonna see him. And so, and so we've got to do a little bit more than just want to see him. We want to see him and hear him say, Well done, my good and faithful servant. So, this gentile nation, these gentile folk, they want to see the Lord. Amen. I hope you can see the Lord this morning. I want to see Jesus. I want to see the Lord, I want to see the Lord in every avenue of my life. I want to see the Lord in everything that I do, I want to see the Lord in my family, I want to see him in my children, I want to see the Lord in my marriage, I want to see the Lord in my attitude, I want to see the Lord in everything that I do, I want to see Jesus. Anybody want to see the Lord? I want to see him in everything that I do, we would see Jesus. Uh, I hope you came this morning because you wanted an encounter with the Lord. Amen. The Bible says that Philip took this information and he was perplexed. So he went and uh told Andrew, man, these Gentiles out here talking about they want to see the Lord. They can only go in the outer court, they can only have a peripheral relationship with God, they can only have an outside view of who He is, but they want to get to Jesus. Somebody came this morning because they need something from the Lord, and you're tired of religion because religion will keep you away from God, but relationship will bring you close to the Lord, hallelujah! And what we need is relationship and not religion, amen. And so as a result, Philip came and told Andrew, and Andrew and Philip said, Let's go to Jesus now. It amazes me the answer that Jesus gives here because they go and tell Jesus what they tell Jesus, they told Jesus that these Greeks are out here and they want to see you. And Jesus answered saying, The hour is come. That the Son of Man shall be glorified. Yeah, the hours come where ministries get ready to switch. I wish I had some people I could preach to. The hours come where the full vision now is going to be complete. The hours come. And he told them, the hours come that the Son of Man should be glorified. Then he expounds the word to them and tells them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, except the corn of wheat fall in the ground and die, it abide for long. But if it die, it bringeth much fruit. So Jesus saying, Amen. It's time for me to go up the sea, and it's time for me to die. But if something don't die, fruit won't bear. In order for God to make us righteous and we bear fruit, something in us got to die. Glory to God. Something must die. Oh, pride must die. Religion must die. Anger must die. Unforgiveness must die. Something in us must die. Oh God. That's why Paul says, I die daily. Oh God. Hallelujah. Something needs to die in us today. Our own period conceived ideology. How the word is supposed to come. That mentality needs to die. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Do me a favor. Do me a favor. I don't got much long. I don't got long up here. Do me a favor. Tell somebody something's got to die. It's got to die. Something's got to die. In order for you to live, something must die. It's got to die. Jesus says, if it don't die, it's not going to do anything. But if it die, it's going to bring forth much fruit. Watch this. Now they ask the Lord, they want to see you. Jesus is talking about something totally different, but yet the same thing. He that loves his life shall lose it. When you love your life, you're going to lose this life. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Because your life is hid in Christ. And the life that you now live is not yours, it's his. And Christ, who is our life, we shall be with him when he appears. People love their life. He said, in this life, he that loves his life shall lose it. And he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it. Until life eternal. There's something missing in the church. What's missing is people love this life. Oh, I ain't making no friends now. Rather than hate this life. Let me tell you something. I'm ready for the Lord to take me out of here. This is not my home. We're just pilgrims and sojourners just passing through here. This is not my home. This is not my life. If this is all the best that we got, we are men are so most miserable. This is it. This turmoil, this tyranny, this pain, this sickness, this ain't it. There's something greater to come. He's still talking now. Jesus says if any man served me, if any man serve me, let him follow himself. Jesus said, if any man serve me, let him follow me. That seems very simple. But yet it is so hard. Why is it hard, preacher? Because straight is the gate and narrow is the way. And there be few that find it. But broad is the way that leadeth to destruction. Amen. Hallelujah. Jesus said, Amen. You've got to follow me. Not your own ideology, not your own mind, but follow me. How do we follow God? We follow God by following his word, following his spirit, and following God's man in the name of the Lord. We follow the Lord. Yes. Yes. Watch this. And where I am, there shall also my servant be. If any man serve me, him will my father honor. See, Jesus gives honor and glory to the Father. But the Father gives honor and glory to the Son. Because the two cannot be separated, because the two are one. Hero Israel, the Lord our God is one. It is God in Christ. Reconciling the world back to himself. When you follow Jesus, you follow God. When you follow God, you follow Jesus. When you follow the word of God, you follow God. So he says, If any man serve me, let him follow me, and where I am, there shall also my servant be. If any man serve me, him will my father honor. Now, Jesus says this. Now is my soul troubled. You have been troubled. You might have been troubled. I'm troubled in my soul. I'm troubled. When I see the condition of the church, the ecclesia, I'm troubled. Because there seems to be a loss for honor towards God. Jesus said, My soul is troubled. But what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But this cause came I unto this hour. So Jesus knows that his time has come when he's going to be crucified. And his soul is troubled because he knows what's going to be waiting him. He knows in his flesh, yes, that he's going to have to suffer. But he said, I'm going to ask God not for me to go through this suffering. This is the reason that I came forth. I came forth to die and to suffer. In order for us to get to the place where we want to be and have God move on us like he wants to, something must die. Something must die. Then he says, Father, glorify your name. Now, it's amazing here about TJ because Jesus already told them that he came to give them the Father's name. And he said, You're going to glorify your name. Then there came a voice from heaven. Interesting here now. Because it shows the dual nature of God. Both human and divine. Just because God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself doesn't mean that God, who's a spirit, is not everywhere at the same time. God is everywhere at the same time. Matter of fact, not only is God in here, God is in Africa. He's in Asia. He's in some other church that's got the truth. No one has a monopoly on God. Alright? I want to show you something. Jesus says, Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven saying, I have both glorified it and I'm going to glorify it again. Now, here's what people miss. When God spoke and said, I've glorified my name already, he's talking about when the Spirit of God ascended upon Mary, and the Holy Ghost came in her. And the angel said, His name shall be called Jesus. Or Emmanuel, God is with us. He glorified his name once before, when Jesus was obedient to him. And he says, I glorified it once, and I'm going to glorify it again. Yes, I'm going to get the glory out of that name again. Hallelujah. Yes, I'm going to be glorified. I'm going to be glorified. And the Bible says that the Lord said unto them, Amen. I will be glorified. And the people therefore that stood by heard it and said that it thundered. The other said an angel spoke to him. It's amazing to me how folk could be in the same vicinity and hear God speak, and one thinking it thundered. One thinking an angel speaking to him, and one ain't heard nothing. It may blow my mind. Blows my mind. Amen. I hope you come to see Jesus today and heard what the Lord is saying to you. And the Bible says, Glory to God. I feel something in here. I'm going to take my time. I got about eight more minutes. About eight more minutes. And the people therefore that stood by heard it. Some said it thundered. Now, Jesus says, they want to see me. Something's got to die. They're going to serve me. Now, some of y'all heard something's got to die. Some of y'all heard something totally different. Some of y'all heard something's got to die, but don't want what you hot to die. And so, and so, but Jesus still saying, something's got to die. And so the person sitting next to you, uh, just remind them gently, uh, because they might be, you know, you might not they might not have a good morning. Just remind them gently, something's got to die. Something's got to die. Something's got to die. It's got to die. And now, now, now tell them, I hope you want it to die. Because it must die. If you're gonna be fruitful, it's got to die. And if you really want it to die, it'll be killed this morning. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I want it to die. I want some things about me need to die. I don't really like my attitude at times. I don't really like my anger at times. I don't like my selfishness at times. I don't like this pride that comes on me at times. I'm not talking about you now, I'm talking about me. It's got to die. Something in me got to die. Tell them something in me got to die. Something in me got to die. Yes, something in me got to die. I know I'm talking to you, but I'm talking about me. Something in me got to die. Because it's easy for you to talk to your neighbor, but is it easy for you to talk to yourself? Something in me got to die. Take accountability for your own life, and something in you got to die. Yes. Take accountability for your own life. It is not always somebody else. It is not always somebody else. See, when we stand before the Lord, we must give an account for our lives. My wife's got to give an account for her life. I can't say, well, I got my bad attitude because she kept burning my chicken. Spaghetti don't have no flavor. She got good spaghetti. I'm gonna have to ask God to kill my bad attitude. I know how to talk to my wife. I know how to act with people and around people. Kill something in me. Something in me needs to die. Yes. Stubbornness needs to die. The conflict that is raging in you need to die. What they did to you years ago, that needs to die. Amen. You that need to die. Yeah, you got to turn it loose. Oh, I'm taught the Holy Ghost talk to somebody in here. You got to turn it loose. You got to ask God to kill it so that you can live and serve God like He wants you to serve Him. I want to see Jesus. Sir, I want to see Jesus. Glory. The Bible says Jesus answered and said this voice came not because of me, but for your sake. I know he's gonna get the glory out of my life. It came so that you could hear the voice. And they still want to see Jesus now. He's not even addressed it, but he has addressed it. See, is one thing saying you want to see him is another thing saying you want to serve him. It takes something to serve God. I'm telling you. It takes something to serve God. It takes everything that you have to serve God. Everything. You you you you you you I'm a part radio. You ever you ever you ever met somebody that don't want nobody telling them what to do? Raise your hand if you know somebody like that. Somebody said most men. Okay. Something you need to die. Y'all, y'all personally don't somebody don't know what nobody tell them what to do. And when you try to tell them what to do, they get mad. Then they'll come back and say, Yeah, I know I should have just, after the destruction's already done. Then they come back and say, Well, I should, I know I should have done that. I should've just listened. But then they don't want you getting on them because they didn't want to hear it. They you supposed to just dismiss it. Welcome back to marriage. Jesus said, This word came not for your sake. Now is the judgment of this world. Now shall the prince of this world be cast out. Now he deals now with the Greeks. And if I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men unto me. So for the black Hebrew Israelites who say that the only black people are going to heaven. Jesus said, If I be lifted up, crucified on the cross, I'll draw all men unto me. Unto the Ku Klux Klan and the Arogan Nation Brotherhood. They say only the white folk are going to heaven. Jesus said, If I be lifted up from the earth, I'll draw all men unto me. What is all means all? Amen. Whosoever will let them come. God said, I'll lift them up. If I be lifted up, if I be crucified, if I be crucified, I'll draw all men unto me. Amen. Amen. Black, white, red, brown, green, orange, purple. Amen. All means all. All means all. Jesus said, If I be lifted up, I'm gonna be lifted up. In other words, they're gonna hang him high and stretch him wide, pierce him in his side. The Bible said, I came water and blood. They put him in a tomb. Seal the sepulchre. But it wasn't a moment yet. Then they remembered the word of the Lord. Destroy this temple. And in three days I raised it back up again. And on the third day, Jesus got out of the tomb with all power. He said, All power has been given unto me in heaven and in earth and under the earth. And then all power. All power. Somebody say all power. So either Jesus Christ is God or God don't have no more power. All power has been given unto him in heaven and in earth and in under the earth. If I be lifted up from the earth, I'll draw men. Amen. I feel God drawing us now. He's drawing Amen the beggar. He's balling the thief. He's drawing the prisoner. He's drawing the liar. He's drawing the fornicator. He's drawing those that seem like they have no answer. He's drawing the drug addict. He's drawing the alcoholic. He's drawing them. He was lifted up on the cross. Who are we to decide who's a part of the church or not part of the church? It was the Lord who shed his blood. It was the Lord who they raised high. It was the Lord who got upon the third day. Somebody say hallelujah. If I be lifted up from the earth, I don't believe in that. I don't believe in that segregation. I don't believe in that foolishness. The Lord said my house should be called a house of prayer. Not a dead of thieves. It ain't no white church, no black church, no purple church, no green church, no Spanish church, no Mexican church, no Brazilian church. There's one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one church, one God who's above all, in us all, and through us all. And that God's name is Jesus. And I'm lifting up Jesus. I'm not lifting up the black Hebrew Israelites. Jesus said, If I be lifted up from the earth, I'll draw men. The church is segregated. Religion is taking over the church. Politics is taking over the church. I'm not democratic. I'm not a Republican. I'm not an independent. I'm on the Lord's side. Who's on the Lord's side? Yes. I'm on the Lord's side. If I be lifted up, I'll draw men. Philip and Andrew couldn't understand it. That the blood that he shed on the cross was not only going to tear the veil, the whomsoever will come now can come to the holy place. We're going to open up a door for Jews and Gentiles alike. The Bible said, making one new man. Yeah, this is old school preacher. I'm an old school preacher. But I know this gospel works. Too much fools is going on. They said, we want to see Jesus. Jesus said, You're going to see me. Because once I'm lifted up, I'm going to draw all men unto me. Thank God for the drawing power of the Holy Ghost. Thank the Lord for the blood of the Lamb that was shed at the cross. That blood that was shed. We didn't leave him there. That's the problem with Catholicism. They leave Jesus on the cross. That's where you see him on the cross. He got off that cross, got in that tomb. On the third day, they went looking for him after his resurrection. Mary was frantic. She went to the garden and said, Where have you laid him? I want to see Jesus. She said, Where have you laid him? Didn't even know that the gardener was Jesus. That's how hard she was looking for the Lord. What just show me where his body is? Where have you laid him? I'll find him, I'll take him with me. They said he's not in the tomb. What'd you do with him? Jesus said, Mary. Mary, it's me. Good God Almighty. You ever been looking for him so hard? And refused to quit until you found him? That's how they were. We want to see Jesus. I want to see him. I want to be with him. The Bible says, He said, I'm going to be lifted up. This signifying with death that he was going to die. But thank be to God. And it just didn't end at the cross. It just didn't end there. Can you imagine what he went through? For me and you. They spit upon him. Beat him with a can of nine. They put him up. Then they wagged their fingers at him and said you healed others. Can you come on down and save yourself? He could have sent legions of angels and wiped out humanity. But he wouldn't come down. He was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquity. The chastisement of our peace was upon him. And by his stripes I know I'm healed. Anybody healed in here? Yes. Because he knew that that was what he came for, was to die. John saw him and said, Behold the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world. The Bible says that he hung there. He planted a thorn, a crown on his head. The Bible declares that he went back to church to break his legs and make sure he was dead, but he Was already giving up the ghost. So the scripture could be fulfilled, not a bone of him was broken. Yes. Yes. They wanted the Lord. They thought that they had done something. But the Bible said if they'd known what they were doing, they would not have crucified our Lord and Savior. God has a way that He made for His people. And He's coming back the second time for a church without spot, wrinkle, or blemish or any such thing. He's coming back for a people that are looking for Him. I want to see Jesus. Anybody looking for the Lord? I want to see Jesus. He's looking for a church that's on fire, a church that has died out to itself, a church that had put God first and is looking for his return. He said, Look up for your redemption draw nigh. I'm looking for the Lord. Anybody looking for Jesus?
unknownThank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord.
SPEAKER_00He got out of that sepulcher. They ask him, Why seek you the living from among the dead? He's not here. He's arose. I want to see Jesus, church. I want to see him in the fullness of his glory. I want to see him in his power and his firmament of his glory. I want to see God do something great in the earth. I want to see God do something in his church. The church, amen, has to, amen, get on board. The church must, amen, be those, amen, who look for him. See, when you look for something, you patiently wait for it. But when you're not looking for something, then you get off the path. I'm looking for his return. Sir? Ma'am. We want to see Jesus. See this thing works like this. Every eye gonna see him. They're gonna look upon him who they pierced in his eye. We're gonna see him. Some gonna see him going to the white throne judgment. Some are gonna see him and hear him say, Well done. My good and faithful servant. This thing here is eternal. You can't just look for him casually. When he was lifted up on that cross and died and rose again and sent the Holy Ghost. The same Gentile Greeks that were only could go in the outer court. Now they got the right to come boldly to the throne of grace. You could come boldly to the throne of grace. It's not based upon how much money you got in your pocket, it's not based upon your anything. It's not based upon what you look like, not based upon your gender. It's not based upon, amen, what race that you are. Amen. It's based upon you being born again of the water and of the spirit. And you can make it back with God. I want to see Jesus. Amen. I want to see Jesus. I want to see Jesus. Amen. Let's stand in the name of the Lord.
unknownI want to see Jesus.
