00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:10,000
This is about the Person of Jesus and His Father who rule over us.

1
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,000
This isn't some fairy tale…

2
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:17,000
This isn't some story out there about a god that created the earth and sits on a big white throne.

3
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,000
This is our Master.

4
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,000
This is Jesus!

5
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,000
He's Inviting us to See Him for Who He is,

6
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:33,000
to see the Amazing Qualities and Amazing Personality that He has

7
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,000
so that we would want to be with HIM.

8
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,000
God is appealing to us saying, "If you will be with ME

9
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:48,000
and take a look at Who I really AM, there will be no other suitors to compare.

10
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,000
There is nothing else in the universe that will win your heart like I can

11
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,000
because I made you for Me.

12
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000
We are not God; He IS.

13
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000
He is not our servant; We are His.

14
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000
He does not exist to give us what we want;

15
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,000
We exist to Give Him what He wants,

16
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:16,000
and He will enrich us with Himself as we lose ourselves into His will.

17
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:21,000
We can find abundant mercy and everlasting kindness…

18
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:27,000
if we will come to Him and offer ourselves in humility before Him.

19
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,000
He gives grace to the humble.

20
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:35,000
He wants to free us from temptation, if we will only ask Him.

21
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,000
He came for the purpose of destroying the devil's work…

22
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:44,000
and overcoming the world and its hold on people.

23
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,000
He died and rose that sin would no longer be our master.

24
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,000
If we will just look…

25
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:57,000
if we will just take the time to encounter Him there is absolutely no way to resist Him any longer.

26
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000
God brings peace. Jesus did not come just to forgive sins.

27
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,000
God brings Joy. Nor did He come just to think about His teachings.

28
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:12,000
God brings clarity of vision. Jesus came so that we could experience the same life with the Father that He experienced.

29
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Not just live here, die and then go to heaven.

30
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:23,000
As the Bible says, He came here so that we might live in the power of an indestructible life.

31
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:28,000
He wants us to know Him and be free.

32
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:36,000
His desire is that Christ be formed in us and that we, His people, His Bride, His House, His ekklesia…

33
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:42,000
would be the expression of the full glory of Jesus of Nazareth on planet earth in this present day.

34
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Jesus will come back for His bride made ready.

35
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,000
If you come to Him and lay down your miserable life full of yourself,

36
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:56,000
than He will wash you and cleanse you and put His Spirit inside of you.

37
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,000
That is what it is all about

38
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,000
It's us looking at all that He is and saying,

39
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,000
"I can't live without Him or what is precious and important to Him.

40
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:13,000
I don't want to live without that. I would never dream of living outside of His will for my life or outside of His purposes.

41
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,000
I want to follow the Lamb wherever He goes.

42
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:22,000
Whatever He wants for my life, He's got it.

43
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,000
He's the Bread of Life where all my nourishment and fulfillment are found.

44
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:33,000
He's that picture of Leadership, Kindness, Forgiveness, and Mercy that I can't live without.

45
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,000
I don't ever WANT to live without. I want to see Him be strong.

46
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:43,000
I want to see Him severe; I want to see Him kind, loving and compassionate

47
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,000
I want to see Him wise beyond words.

48
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:53,000
I want to be with Him, to hear every word He has to say.

49
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:58,000
I don't ever want to be more than a step away from Him the rest of my life."
