Day 20: Everything You Always Wanted


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"
