Seeing Jesus

The Gospel of John exists to reveal Jesus. In my sermon on Sunday, I tried to describe some of the reasons why it is important to see Jesus:

1. It is important to see Jesus because seeing Him is what transforms us.
2 Cor. 3:18: “And we all with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another.”

2. It is important to see Jesus because seeing Him prepares us to suffer well.
Heb. 12:3: “Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.”

3. It is important to see Jesus because seeing Him gives us content for sharing the gospel with unbelievers.

4. It is important to see Jesus because seeing Him delights the Father’s heart.
The Father wants us to behold the glory of His Son.
