Recognizing your blind spots about Jesus!

As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace but now it is hidden from your eyes.” Luke 19:41-42

Jesus was making a triumphant entry into Jerusalem and looked over the people in the city. 

Jesus wept because they were blinded to the truths of God. They didn’t understand who Jesus was or what He was going to do for them. 

Jesus came to sacrifice His life so that you and I can have the gift of eternal life.

The question today is what is hidden from your eyes concerning Jesus? What is blocking you from experiencing the fullness of God?

This subject deals with both sin and the influence of religion in your life.

The definition of sin is recognizing you were born with a condition to live for self and defy God. And, the only way you can overcome this condition is through Jesus. In fact, you are unable to see the depth of your human personality or understand how much you need God.

Jesus very simply asks you to live with Him by faith and seek out His will for your life.

Jesus desires to become your best friend and have a warm and embracing relationship with you. 

Jesus lives in all believers through the efficacy of the Holy Spirit. He is your direct link to God. 

The Holy Spirit speaks to you and teaches you the values of Jesus. He convicts you of sin and causes you to examine your motives and decision making.

Jesus wants your dedication to Him above all else. This happens through prayer, reading the Word, listening to His voice and walking in oneness with Him anchored to the Holy Spirit.

We complicate Jesus by trying to appease Him through works and laws.

Jesus is asking for your total obedience to Him even when it makes no sense to you.

Jesus wants to give you a quality of life you can never achieve on your own and bless the desires of your heart. This will come by your unyielding faith in the promises of God.

Today you and I have to recognize we are living in the end times and the judgments of God are over the world. 

Walk in the light of Christ yielding to the Holy Spirit! He loves you!
