DO YOU JESUS IN THE PRESENT? #1535/ WITH DR GEORGE WATKINS

DO YOU KNOW JESUS IN THE PRESENT?

It's a simple question that I am asking today, and by doing so, I am bringing our attention to what it means to walk in the light as he is in the light. When we learn the practice of being in his presence as a daily habit, we know what it means to know Jesus in this present time.
Too many Christians know the Jesus who walked the shores of Galilee, healing the sick and feeding the 5,000. They have gone to Sunday school and learned where he was born and how he died. They are well-versed in the Jesus of the past.
On the other hand, a disproportionate number of people study the Jesus of the future—the one who is coming someday to rescue them and take them to heaven. There are lengthy and repetitive teachings on the end times and what will happen someday, somewhere, somehow.
It's not unusual for Christians to tell me. Oh yes, Pastor, someday when we get to heaven, we'll have joy, be at peace, and be healed.
The challenge that the Holy Spirit gives us is to know Jesus of the present. The Scriptures tell us plainly today is the day of salvation.
That word salvation includes everything that Christ has done for us to be saved, healed, delivered, and walk in the power of the Spirit.
This is what it means to know Jesus in the present, To have fellowship with him, and to see him face-to-face often.
There was a historical Jesus who lived and died in Jerusalem and produced redemption for us. Thank God for that.
There is a Jesus who will return someday, as the Scriptures promise. Thank God for that.
However, God chose to give you and me the responsibility and privilege of bringing the gospel to this generation, and because of that, we must know him now.
