"To open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me." - Acts 26:18

We Wish To See Jesus
Adam in his original state was worthy of eternal life. He was encircled with the presence of God both inside and out. But when he rebelled God departed from him wickedness was birthed in his heart. He was penalized for his sin by death. All of his descendants became darkened and futile in their hearts. They did not glorify God but became futile in their thoughts. Christ came and won the victory over death and reversed the curse of Adam. The life, death, and resurrection of Christ made Him the Savior. Both Eve and Adam tried to be like God, and following their example all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. The human race has become foolish, shallow, and our minds have been led further and further from the truth. By confessing ourselves to become wise we have become fools. The veil is only taken away in Christ! Jesus Christ is calling us to salvation through sanctification so we too can obtain the glory of Jesus Christ. Only those who have been changed by God through Christ have lost the sting of death. Every born again believer is eligible for salvation. Only through regeneration can we bear the image of the Heavenly Man! Jesus Christ is the model of what the Holy Spirit living in a man can look like. Now is the judgment of the world. If Christ is lifted up He will draw all people to Himself. May we wish to see Jesus and may God grant us the grace to do so.
