What if you only had
JESUS,
would HE be enough?
Oh you say
YES, of course,
because it is the Christian~ese answer.
When actually
the
correct answer
is
NO,
because
JESUS isn't ENOUGH,
because
HE is MORE than just ENOUGH.
HE IS EVERYTHING.
ENOUGH is just ENOUGH~
ADEQUATE
SUFFICIENT
SATISFACTORY.
But
EVERYTHING is
ALL,
WHOLE,
ENTIRETY.
Would you rather have
ENOUGH
or
EVERYTHING?
Would it have been just ENOUGH for GOD
to just slap the wrists of Adam and Eve
after they invited SIN into the world,
and tell them not to do it anymore?
But because GOD so LOVES,
that even though they may have never eaten another apple,
SIN was still BIRTHED.
SIN is the root of all evil.
SIN divides.
SIN is alive in this world.
So GOD has to STOP it.
And HE did.
JESUS was BORN.
But JESUS being BORN was not ENOUGH,
as JESUS wasn't to remain a BABY.
HE had to wear
EVERY SIN on HIMSELF.
to kill it FOREVER.
And HE wore it ALL,
as HE DIED for it ALL,
and as
HE was BURIED for it ALL,
and as
HE ROSE for it ALL~
ONCE AND FOR ALL.
You can't have a CHRISTMAS without an EASTER
and you can't have an EASTER without CHRISTMAS.
And when you and I experience
CHRISTMAS and EASTER,
we get to experience
EVERYTHING who JESUS IS.
JESUS IS EVERYTHING
in the midst of sorrow ,
because
HE IS JOY.
JESUS IS EVERYTHING
in the midst of confusion
because
HE IS REASON.
JESUS IS EVERYTHING
in the midst of anxiety,
because
HE IS PEACE.
JESUS IS EVERYTHING
in the midst of death,
because
HE IS LIFE.
It really is quite simple,
yet how I complicate when I make
JESUS just ENOUGH
because I want
JESUS PLUS SOMETHING ELSE.
SOMETHING ELSE~ALL restored circumstances.
SOMETHING ELSE~ ALL restored relationships.
SOMETHING ELSE~ALL restored feelings.
Is your JESUS just ENOUGH,
because you want
HIM and SOMETHING ELSE?
If so,
give JESUS your SOMETHING ELSE
and HE WILL BE your EVERYTHING.
BECAUSE JESUS IS EVERYTHING!
ALWAYS WAS & ALWAYS IS & ALWAYS WILL BE.
Read it for yourself~
"We look at this SON
and see the GOD who cannot be seen.
We look at this SON
and see GOD'S original purpose in everything created.
For everything,
absolutely everything,
above and below,
visible and invisible,
rank after rank after rank of angels—
everything
got started in him
and finds its purpose in him.
He was there before
any of it came into existence
and holds it all together
right up to this moment.
And when it comes to the church,
HE organizes and holds it together,
like a head does a body.
HE was supreme
in the beginning and—
leading the resurrection parade—
he is supreme in the end.
From beginning to end
HE'S there,
towering far above
everything,
everyone.
So spacious is he,
so roomy,
that everything of GOD
finds its proper place
in HIM
without crowding.
Not only that,
but all the broken
and dislocated pieces of the universe—
people and things,
animals and atoms—
get properly fixed
and fit together in vibrant harmonies,
all because of HIS death,
HIS blood that poured down from the cross"
(Colossians 1:17-20)
What if you only had
JESUS,
would HE be enough?
Oh No,
Because
HE IS EVERYTHING.
CHRISTMAS IN JULY~
JESUS
is
"MY ALL IN ALL"
