Questions From Jesus: "What do you want me to do for you?"

Read Matthew 20:29-34

“There are a lot of things we may want from Jesus… but what is it that we really need? Now that’s the real question.” ~Asil Treblig

Jesus is still asking us that question today! Cry out, from your heart…

1. Jesus hears our cries.

2. Jesus rewards persistence.

3. Jesus wants us to see.

4. Jesus always gives graciously.

Confession

Jesus, give me eyes to see. To see you in everything. Capture my heart, so I will see everything from your perspective.

• I need to see my pains, heartaches, and struggles—not as something to get over, but as providences to grow through.

• I need to see time as a gift to be stewarded, and all my resources as the currency of grace, not as the basis of my security.

• I need to see myself hidden in you, delighted in by you, and being kept for you.

• I need to see others—all others, as you see them, with eyes of compassion, mercy, and grace.

• I need to see this world as passing away, and the reality of your Kingdom becoming more and more clear.

And I can’t wait to see you Jesus, face to face. Amen

Questions From Jesus: "Who do you say I am?"

Read Matthew 16:13-20

“There are some questions we can have varying opinions about, but there are some we need to get right!” ~Asil Treblig

1. The Question: Who do people say the Son of Man is? More importantly, who do you say I am?

2. The Confusion: Are you going to believe the world, other people, or God?

3. The Confession: Jesus you are my Christ, the Son of Man, and Son of the living God.

4. The Consequences: Recipients of every spiritual blessing in Christ, and a living, growing and integral part of Christ’s certain and invincible church, with the God given authority to make disciples and to bring Heaven to earth and earth to Heaven!

Confession

Jesus, you are my Lord and Savior, the one who rescued me from the darkness of Hell and delivered me into your Kingdom of light. By your grace I am born again and have every spiritual blessing you can give. I am a member of your people, the church, and have the ability, responsibility and authority to invite others into this incredible new life. I will endeavor to surrender to you completely, conform to you continually, walk with you daily and expand your Kingdom…All for your eternal glory, Amen!
