Shall renew their strength They shall mount up

Seeing Jesus

• As Jesus is, so are we in this world
• Is this a true statement?
• Could it be true of my life?
• How well do I see who Jesus is?
• If I really see Him, what is the great
  implication concerning how I live?

1 John 417-19 Love has been perfected among us
in this that we may have boldness in the day of
judgment because as He is, so are we in this
world. 18 There is no fear in love but perfect
love casts out fear, because fear involves
torment. But he who fears has not been made
perfect in love. 19 We love Him because He first
loved us. NKJV

Seeing as Jesus Sees
Matthew 1624 Then Jesus said to His disciples,
"If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny
himself, and take up his cross, and follow
Me. NKJV

Numbers 2417 I see Him, but not now I behold
Him, but not near A Star shall come out of
Jacob A Scepter shall rise out of Israel, And
batter the brow of Moab, And destroy all the sons
of tumult. NKJV

Psalms 2 Why do the nations rage, And the people
plot a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth set
themselves, And the rulers take counsel
together, Against the Lord and against His
Anointed, saying, 3 "Let us break Their bonds in
pieces And cast away Their cords from us." 4 He
who sits in the heavens shall laugh The Lord
shall hold them in derision. 5 Then He shall
speak to them in His wrath, And distress them in
His deep displeasure 6 "Yet I have set My
King On My holy hill of Zion."
8
Psalms 210 7 "I will declare the decree The
Lord has said to Me, 'You are My Son, Today I
have begotten You. 8 Ask of Me, and I will give
You The nations for Your inheritance, And the
ends of the earth for Your possession. 9 You
shall break them with a rod of iron You shall
dash them to pieces like a potter's vessel.'"
Now therefore, be wise, O kings Be instructed,
you judges of the earth. 11 Serve the Lord with
fear, And rejoice with trembling. 12 Kiss the
Son, lest He be angry, And you perish in the
way, When His wrath is kindled but a
little. Blessed are all those who put their trust
in Him.

Since the Mans Fall into Sin in the Garden of
EdenThe message of Restoration has been through
His Son
Hebrews 11-4 God, who at various times and in
various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by
the prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to
us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all
things, through whom also He made the world. NKJV

Prophesy Concerning Jesusand the Kingdom of God
Isaiah 96-7 6 For unto us a Child is born, Unto
us a Son is given And the government will be
upon His shoulder. And His name will be
called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty
God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 7 Of
the increase of His government and peace There
will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over
His kingdom, To order it and establish it with
judgment and justice From that time forward, even
forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will
perform this. NKJV
11
Prophesy Concerning Jesusand the Kingdom of God
Isaiah 111-5 There shall come forth a Rod from
the stem of Jesse, And a Branch shall grow out of
his roots. 2 The Spirit of the Lord shall rest
upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and
understanding, The Spirit of counsel and
might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of
the Lord. 3 His delight is in the fear of the
Lord, And He shall not judge by the sight of His
eyes, Nor decide by the hearing of His ears 4
But with righteousness He shall judge the
poor, And decide with equity for the meek of the
earth He shall strike the earth with the rod of
His mouth, And with the breath of His lips He
shall slay the wicked. 5 Righteousness shall be
the belt of His loins, And faithfulness the belt
of His waist. NKJV
12
Isaiah 531-3 Who has believed our report? And to
whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? 2
For He shall grow up before Him as a tender
plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no
form or comeliness And when we see Him, There is
no beauty that we should desire Him. 3 He is
despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows
and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it
were, our faces from Him He was despised, and we
did not esteem Him. NKJV
13
Isaiah 534-6 Surely He has borne our griefs And
carried our sorrows Yet we esteemed Him
stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. 5 But
He was wounded for our transgressions, He was
bruised for our iniquities The chastisement for
our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are
healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray We
have turned, every one, to his own way And the
Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. NKJV
14
Isaiah 5310-12 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise
Him He has put Him to grief. When You make His
soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed,
He shall prolong His days, And the pleasure of
the Lord shall prosper in His hand. 11 He shall
see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. By
His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify
many, For He shall bear their iniquities. 12
Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the
great, And He shall divide the spoil with the
strong, Because He poured out His soul unto
death, And He was numbered with the
transgressors, And He bore the sin of many, And
made intercession for the transgressors. NKJV
15
Matthew 2337-39 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the
one who kills the prophets and stones those who
are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather
your children together, as a hen gathers her
chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!
38 See! Your house is left to you desolate 39
for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till
you say, 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of
the Lord!'" NKJV
16
Matthew 1624-27 Then Jesus said to His
disciples, "If anyone desires to come after Me,
let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and
follow Me. 25 For whoever desires to save his
life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for
My sake will find it. 26 For what profit is it
to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses
his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange
for his soul? 27 For the Son of Man will come in
the glory of His Father with His angels, and then
He will reward each according to his works. NKJV
17
Isaiah 5213-15 Behold, My Servant shall deal
prudently He shall be exalted and extolled and
be very high. 14 Just as many were astonished
at you, So His visage was marred more than any
man, And His form more than the sons of men 15
So shall He sprinkle many nations. Kings shall
shut their mouths at Him For what had not been
told them they shall see, And what they had not
heard they shall consider. NKJV
18
Matthew 935-38 Then Jesus went about all the
cities and villages, teaching in their
synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom,
and healing every sickness and every disease
among the people. 36 But when He saw the
multitudes, He was moved with compassion for
them, because they were weary and scattered, like
sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then He said to
His disciples, "The harvest truly is plentiful,
but the laborers are few. 38 Therefore pray the
Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His
harvest." NKJV
19
When Love Ran Red

36 But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved
with compassion for them, because they were weary
and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd.
