Sir, We Would See Jesus
"Sir, we would see Jesus" -- John 12:21

This scripture has brought great conviction to my heart that we as the church and preachers of the gospel have failed to a large degree to present to the world the Jesus of the bible.

We have preached organizations and denominations; we have preached religion and traditions, rules and regulations. We have preached Gods blessing plan and eight steps to a breakthrough and seven keys to your miracle.

My concern today is this: That we have preached the bible so well, but have failed to preach Jesus. Somehow Jesus has gotten covered up by our dogma’s and creed’s and we have gotten so enamored with the privileges and blessings of being a child of God that we have forgotten or at least misplaced the Jesus of the bible.

There is today as there was in the days of the bible a cry from the human heart:

Sir, we would see Jesus

It’s not religion or traditions or doctrines that saves the lost, heals the sick and sets the captives free. It is the living Saviour The person Jesus Christ He is the Saviour, He is the healer, He is the deliverer and he is the Baptizer in the mighty Holy Ghost and Power. I believe it is a crying shame that so many in the body of Christ have lost sight of Jesus. But even worse than that is the fact that many don’t even realize they have lost that vision.
Even worse yet is that many have allowed other things to displace that vision and now they would rather have religion than Jesus.

They would rather have traditions than Jesus.

They would rather have blessings than Jesus.

It’s amazing how many people want prosperity but they don’t want Jesus.

They want healing but they don’t want Jesus.

They want power but they don’t want Jesus.

They want joy and peace but they don’t want Jesus.

We will see a great revival in the body of Christ when the Heart cry of the Church is:

Sir, we would see Jesus.
