Sir, We Would See Jesus
“The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him. And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast: The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus. And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.” (John 12:19-23)
Today’s Morsel: One of the best times that I believe to bring clarity and understanding to the heart of man as to who Jesus was is during the month of December. Many people see the nativities, hear the Christmas Carols, see the trees and decorations, attend Christmas plays at their children’s schools and churches, but many of them leave thinking that it is just another play because there was no explanation. People want to know, but many are afraid to ask. This is why Peter said that you must be ready to give an answer of the hope that is in you. Are you aware that people depart this world every day having never heard the gospel of Jesus Christ? How will we answer for that? Scripture says, “And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast: The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus. And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.” When people come to see Jesus, they need to leave knowing who He is. Be ready to give an answer of the hope that is in you.
Sing: He’s Jehovah God, the coming King of glory, He’s the true Nissi, the Lord of grace and favor. He is Jesus Christ, Redeemer, Friend, and Savior. He’s the great, He’s the great I Am.
He is the great I Am, the Everlasting Father. He’s the Prince of Peace, the Eternal Wonder, Holy Counselor and Zion’s Righteous Governor. He’s the Great, He’s the Great I Am.
