Give Me Jesus

Give Me Jesus 

"Jesus went out from there and came into His hometown; and His disciples followed Him. And when the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue; and the many listeners were astonished, saying, “Where did this man learn these things, and what is this wisdom that has been given to Him, and such miracles as these performed by His hands? Is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are His sisters not here with us?” And they took offense at Him. Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not dishonored except in his hometown and among his own relatives, and in his own household.” And He could not do any miracle there except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. And He was amazed at their unbelief.

And He was going around the villages, teaching." Mark 6:1-6 NASB 

The King is in the room

His name is Jesus
- Phil Wickham "His Name is Jesus"

Life gets tough, and times get hard
It's hard to find the truth in all the lies
If you're tired of wondering why
Your heart isn't healing
And nothing feels like home
'Cause you're lost and alone just screaming at the sky
When you don't know what to say
Just say Jesus
There is power in the name
The Name of Jesus
If the words wont come
'Cause you're too afraid to pray
Just say Jesus
Whisper it now, or shout it out
However it comes out, He hears your cry
Out of nowhere He will come-you got to believe it
He will rescue you
Just call out to the Way, The Truth, The Life
When you don't know what to say
Just say Jesus
There is power in the name
The Name of Jesus
If the words won't come
'Cause you're too afraid to pray
There is just One name
Strong enough to save
There is just One name
There is just One name
Jesus
When you don't know what to say
Just say Jesus
There's still power in the name
The Name of Jesus
If the words wont come
'Cause you're to afraid to pray
If the words wont come
And you don't know what to say
Just say Jesus
-7th Time Down "Just Say Jesus"

Jesus is the name above all Names that either brings joy unspeakable or brings heartbreak and anger to those who hear it mentioned. 

Jesus is my Savior, He is my Best Friend, He is my Brother and my King. 

He gave His life to save a wretch like me. 
Jesus is my coming King.  Jesus is more to me than the things of this world. 

In the world today we see people's and countries attempting to rewrite history concerning Him but it will be no Earthly good. 

Jesus is more than anything the whims of mankind can ever imagine or dream up.

As these songs lead into, name anyone else who fits His description!  As those useless meme's say: Go ahead, I'll wait.

He has brought healing and life to me many times. He's the one who's blessings are both gracious and unexplainable at times.  His love is uncomparable.

S.M. Lockridge on several occasions is credited with a speech such as this: 

"The Bible says

He’s the King of the Jews
He’s the King of Israel
He’s the King of Righteousness
He’s the King of the Ages
He’s the King of Heaven
He’s the King of Glory
He’s the King of Kings
and He is the Lord of Lords

Now that’s my King!
David says
The Heavens declare the glory of God
And the firmament showeth His handiwork
No means of measure can define His limitless love
No far seeing telescope can bring into visibility the coastline of His shoreless supply
No barriers can hinder Him from pouring out His blessing

He’s enduringly strong
He’s entirely sincere
He’s eternally steadfast
He’s immortally graceful
He’s imperially powerful
He’s impartially merciful

That’s my King!
He’s God’s Son
He’s the sinners’ Saviour
He’s the centrepiece of civilisation
He stands alone in Himself
He’s august
He’s unique
He’s unparalleled
He’s unprecedented
He’s supreme
He’s pre-eminent
He’s the loftiest idea in literature
He’s the highest personality in philosophy
He’s the supreme problem in higher criticism
He’s the fundamental doctrine in true theology
He’s the cardinal necessity of spiritual religion

That's My King

He’s the miracle of the age
He’s the superlative of everything good that you choose to call Him
He’s the only one able to supply all of our needs simultaneously
He supplies strength for the weak
He’s available for the tempted and the tried
He sympathises and He saves
He guards and He guides
He heals the sick
He cleansed the lepers
He forgives sinners
He discharges debtors
He delivers the captives
He defends the feeble
He blesses the young
He serves the unfortunate
He regards the aged
He rewards the diligent
And He beautifies the meek

Do you know Him?
My King is the key of knowledge
He’s the wellspring of wisdom
He’s the doorway of deliverance
He’s the pathway of peace
He’s the roadway of righteousness
He’s the highway of holiness
He’s the gateway of glory
He’s the master of the mighty
He’s the captain of the conquerors
He’s the head of the heroes
He’s the leader of the legislators
He’s the overseer of the overcomers
He’s the governor of governors
He’s the prince of princes
He’s the King of Kings
And He’s the Lord of Lords

That’s my King
That’s my King!
My King
His office is manifold
His promise is sure
His life is matchless
His goodness is limitless
His mercy is everlasting
His love never changes
His word is enough
His grace is sufficient
His reign is righteous
His yoke is easy
and His burden is light
I wish I could describe Him to you
He’s indescribable
He’s indescribable
He’s incomprehensible
He’s invincible
He’s irresistible
I’m trying to tell you
The heaven of heavens cannot contain Him
Let alone a man explain Him
You can’t get Him out of your mind
You can’t get Him off of your hands
You can’t outlive Him
And you can’t live without Him
The Pharisees couldn’t stand Him
but they found out they couldn’t stop Him
Pilate couldn’t find any fault in Him
The witnesses couldn’t get their testimonies to agree
And Herod couldn’t kill Him
Death couldn’t handle Him
And the grave couldn’t hold Him

That’s my King!

He always has been
And He always will be
I’m talking about
He had no predecessor
and He’ll have no successor
There was nobody before Him
and there’ll be nobody after Him
You can’t impeach Him
and He’s not going to resign

That’s my King!
Praise the Lord
That’s my King
Thine is the Kingdom
And the power
And the glory
The glory is all His
Thine is the Kingdom
And the power
And the glory
For ever
And ever
And ever
And when you get through with all of the forevers
Then
Amen"

In this day and age we need reminded of the truth of this world, of this time in history. That Jesus so loved you and I so much to die for us, to make the way for us, to be forgiven of our sins and to live with Him forever, if only we believe. 

2 Corinthians 5:21 NASB "He made Him who knew no sin to be sin in our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him."

Jesus

The mose loved or most hated name in history.

My life is in His Hands because of what He has done and my faith in what He did on the cross for me.  In Old Testament times I wouldn't have been permitted to come near to worship Him because of my physical condition. Because of the cross and His dying for my sins, I can draw near to Him. 

Blessed Assurance Jesus is mine. Oh what a foretaste of glory divine.

That hymn has to be included in this post as well.  

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine
Heir of salvation, purchase of God
Born of His spirit, washed in His blood
Perfect submission, all is at rest
I in my Savior, am happy and blessed
Watching and waiting, looking above
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love, oh oh
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long, oh oh oh oh

If you don't know what Jesus means as I have shared today...ask. Ask Him to make Himself known to You today. To be shown as real to you today.  

Jesus. 

Many years ago a book was out called Heaven is for real by Todd Burpo. It chronicles the story of their son Colton. At the back of the book they share a similar story of a young girl and a painting she made. After his experience Colton was asked many times what Jesus looked like. Of all the pictures shown to him only this painting by this young girl came the closest. In my infant days I had surgery on my eyes and I can remember being afraid. Yet I can also remember being with Jesus before knowing who He was. I saw the same person as this girl painted. 

Whether or not others believe this is of Jesus isn't important to me. It is what I believe is an accurate depiction of Him to me.

This world is on a collision course with the Judgment of God. It's not going to turn into some utopia once something happens and someone rises up as a world leader to guide it. Scripture says there is such a one coming called the Antichrist.  Horrific days accompany his coming for 7 years. Billions will die. After those 7 years of judgments from God, King Jesus Himself will reign on Earth from Israel.  

As a famous Bill Gaither song goes...The King is Coming. 

Your belief in Christ Jesus and His finished work on the cross will determine you either spending eternity in Heaven or Hell. Under no other name can you be saved. His name is Jesus.
