To the men who sat in the temple courts and robbed the innocent blind, Jesus was the enemy.  He had ruined their gig and called them out in front of everyone.

To the soldier, Jesus was a terrorist rebel, a man who could stir up the masses.  To the soldier, he wasn’t sure if he even wanted to confront Him.  His message … made sense.

To the religious leader, Jesus was ruining their position in the temple.  He was making people “think” and claiming that everyone was valued.  He was treating women as important and giving value to the lowest of the low.  He was exposing the religious leaders, and He knew what they were thinking.  Some of them questioned whether they were truly men of God or simply benefitting from their position …

To Jonah, Jesus was TOO compassionate.

Jonah 10 1 But Jonah was greatly displeased and became angry. 2 He prayed to the LORD , “O LORD, is this not what I said when I was still at home? That is why I was so quick to flee to Tarshish. I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity. 3 Now, O LORD , take away my life, for it is better for me to die than to live.”

But the question today … is who is HE to YOU?

To me,

He is a marriage and family saver.

He tells me what I need to do, not what I want to do.

He is my only hope when I am down.

He is my ONE when I jump for joy.

When I wonder what everyone is saying about me, He reminds me what HE says about me.

In my darkest moments, He has showed up with power and rescued my soul.

I have seen Him heal.

I have seen Him redeem.

I have seen Him give life.

I invite you, this very day, to let Him be your everything.  To let Him truly come and know you and know every offensive way in you.

To let Him have what you are holding onto….

Because what you are holding onto is not worth anything without Him.

In The Name of the Father and the 

Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
