Jesus says to His followers, “As the Father sent me, so send I you.” And so, how did He conquer? Read John 1:35-51. 1)He went for a walk; maybe you could go for a walk in your neighbor’s world. 2) He asked questions; maybe you could ask your neighbor, “What is it that you want?” 3) He invited folks to “come and see.” 4) He valued incompetence. 5) He made people competent. 6) He wasn’t easily offended. 7) He celebrated honesty. 8) He recognized the Kingdom at hand: God’s dream planted in His neighbor’s heart. 9) He is the Kingdom at hand: God’s dream planted in the heart of Adam.

He said to Nathaniel, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see the heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending (NOT on a piece of real estate) on the Son of Man.” I think He’s saying, “I am Israel, and I am the firstborn from whom you stole the birthright. I am the presence of the Father from whom you stole the blessing. I am your birthright and blessing. I am the edge of the Promised Land: Eden. I am taking you home to the Tree of Life in the middle of the Garden. I am the Son of God, and the Son of Man. God is my Father. Man is my mother. You, Adam, will give birth to me and all things with me. I am the decision to humble oneself and join the dance.”

There is an old Jerusalem built with stones, and it’s been condemned. And there is a New Jerusalem descending from God even now. It is your birthright, and it’s filled with the blessing which includes every Jew and every Arab; it includes Isaac and Ishmael, Jacob and Esau, Cain and Abel. “For whatever you do to the least of these my brothers,” says the firstborn, “you do to me.”

10) He invited folks to come and see His heart. And sometimes a body has to be broken for a heart to be revealed.

Before there was sin, there was God’s intention — adoption, union, and love. In this episode, we expose the orphan mindset that fuels our excuses and show how starting from God’s acceptance changes everything.

Embracing grace, we realized on the cross Jesus demonstrated His forgiveness of all sin for all time.  And then we come to 1 John 1:9, telling us if we confess our sin we will be forgiven.  Did Jesus single sacrifice release us from all sin for all time or didn’t it?  And this is what this episode, “Confessing Sin,” digs into.  Enjoy.   

Introduction:  God’s unconditional love, forgiveness, and inclusion often are rejected because of God’s wrath.  Ironically, biblical wrath reveals God’s unconditional grace.  In the next 28 minutes, you just may see wrath as you’ve never seen it, in God’s grace. 

Many experience the fear of believing they’ve committed the unforgivable sin, but is there a sin that's too big for God or His grace to handle?  It’s time to look at this sin through God’s eyes of Grace.
