CONFIDENCE IN US TOO

 

CONFIDENCE IN US TOO

Jesus had GREAT CONFIDENCE

In his disciples=he had such

Confidence in them=

That he sent the 72

Out to visit=and to EVANGELIZE

I wonder if I were him=

If I would have had

SUCH A CONFIDENCE=

He has confidence IN US TOO

To get the job done today

Jesus TRUSTS us too=

To SPREAD his message

Throughout the world

“Jesus appointed seventy-two

Other disciples

Whom he sent AHEAD of him

IN PAIRS to every town

And place

He intended to visit” Luke 10:1

How TEMPTING it must

Have been for Jesus

To micro manage the details

BE SURE that they

Are COMPATIBLE=be sure

They say and do

The right things

And follow the right procedures

But Jesus DOESN'T DO THAT=

He just tells them

To go in FAITH

And be AMBASSADORS of God

He TRUSTS US too=

He trusts us to

Be AMBASADORS of God and=

And he has GREAT CONFIDENCE

In us and FAITH in us

To get the job done

CONFIDENCE IN US TOO!

“We are therefore

CHRIST'S AMBASSADORS

As though God

Were making his appeal

Through us

We implore you

On Christ's behalf=

Be reconciled to GOD” 2 Corinthians 5:20

“The fruit of the righteousness

Will be peace-

Its effect will be quietness

And CONFIDENCE forever” Isiah 32:17

“Let us then approach

God's throne of grace

WITH CONFIDENCE

So that we

May receive mercy

And find grace to help us

In our time of need” Hebrews 4:16

Just imagine the kind

Of confidence

Jesus had in his disciples

Though they let him down

At first=they came THROUGH

For him-in the END

He has that

SAME CONFIDENCE in us=

To get the job done

To spread the WORD OF GOD

To every living thing

Jesus gives TRUST to all

Of his followers=he has CONFIDENCE

In us

“This is the CONFIDENCE

We have in approaching God

That if we ask

Anything according to his will-

He hears us” 1 John 5:14

Let us CARRY ON

The message and WORD OF JESUS

Let us be TRUSTWORTHY REPRESENTATIVES-

In Jesus=

For he is the ONE-

Who is our guide and TEACHER

Let us be LIVING EXAMPLES

Of Christ's CONFIDENCE

In today's world

In Jesus' name=and in the name of our FOREVER LIVING FATHER!
