Watch Full Message of “Secret Church 4: Who Is God?“
Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega, He is the beginning and the end, He’s the first and the last, He is the final amen. Jesus is the bread of life. He is Christ our creator, our deliverer, everlasting father, He is God. He is the good shepherd. He is the great shepherd. He is the great high priest. He is the holy one. He is the image of the invisible God. He is the great I am. He is the judge of the living and the dead. He is king of kings and Lord of lords. He is majestic and mighty, and no one compares to Him.
We Need Jesus
He is the power of God. He’s the resurrection of life. He is the supreme sacrifice. He is the way, the truth, and life. He is the very word of God made flesh. Jesus is all of these things and we cannot reduce Him to a poor, puny savior who is just begging for you to accept Him. He is infinitely worthy of all glory and all the universe, and He does not need you to accept Him, you and I desperately need Him.
We need Him for every breath we breathe. The only way our heart is beating in this room tonight is because Jesus is giving it rhythm at this very moment. God restore the glory of the name of Jesus Christ in your church today. His name is good. His name is great. His name is worthy. God make us a people who have deep reverence, deep fear for the name of God.
