Jesus Has Come Already

Jesus Has Already Come!
From Joy to Exceeding Joy

I Peter 4:13b ...when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

This is the outline that I used to preach this message on the Lord having already come to those of us who are already saved. Do we really know what it is that Jesus Christ has ALREADY done for us? Read on as you listen to the audio of the sermon.

If Christ would come back now, ALL of our problems would be solved!

When Christ does come back, He will...
1) Solve all the bride's problems!
2) Prove the truth is the truth!
3) Get His vengeance that He deserves!
4) Receive His worship that is due Him!
5) Carry His bride to His garden!
6) Reward His bride!
7) Love His bride eternally!

But folks, He HAS ALREADY COME!

(Before we start, and for the record, I am not the guy that the Book is warning about in II Timothy 2:18)

I am saying that Christ HAS come if we are saved. He still has to come physically and THEN we will be physically like him, etc. - I John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

But so far, we already have His:

Face:
    Mouth (words of Jesus Christ is that KJB)
    Ears (He hears us and hears for us)
    Eyes (He sees us in our walk and sees for us)
    Feet (He walks the right walk and guides us on 'His' walk)
    Muscles (Strength)
    Confidence (truth)
    Boldness (not loud, etc. but the words are bold)
    Meekness (not wimpy, just compassionate)
    Humbleness (tells us of our place)
    Comfort (through the Holy Spirit and His words, etc.)

His faith (Romans 5:1,2; Philippians 3:9; Romans 3:22; Galatians 2:16, 20; 3:22)
His righteousness (II Corinthians 5:21; Romans 3:22)

He is our Teacher - Ephesians 4:20,21
He is our Preacher - Ecclesiastes 1:1,2; 12:9,10; etc.

He has already taken care of the law for us! (Romans 5:13, 20,21; Romans 10:4)

He has already taken our sin! (John 1:29)

He has destroyed the body of sin! (Romans 6:6)

He has already freed us from sin! (Romans 6:7,18,22)

He has already made us dead unto sin and alive unto God! (Romans 6:11)

He has already reconciled us back to God! (Romans 5:10; Ephesians 2:12-18; II Corinthians 5:18,20)

He has made us God's Righteousness (II Corinthians 5:21)

He has cleansed us from all sin! (I John 1:7)

He has already become our advocate! (I John 2:1)

He already became sin for us! (II Corinthians 5:21)

He has already given us His joy! (Romans 5:11; John 15:11; 16:20; 17:13; I Peter 1:8)

He paid the penalty of our sin!

He also suffered for us! (I Peter 4:13)

Do we live like He has NOT come?

Are we easily offended?
Are we easily confused?
Do we not understand?
Can we not tell a wolf dressed like a sheep?
( we can easily tell the obvious wolves now, but...)

If He truly has come into your life, then HE will tell you these things - IN YOUR BIBLE!!!!!!!!!

You know, in our watered down churches today, it isn't WHAT the preachers says that means anything to folks.
It is only WHO says it!
It is only HOW it is said!
It is only WHEN you say it!
It is really the FUN and FRILL that they want to accompany it!
Eventually, nothing is said.

But in reality, it is what Jesus Christ says, NOT the preacher - if he uses the KJB - those are His words.
But in reality, it is how Jesus Christ says it - He says it truthfully in the KJB!
But in reality, it is when Jesus Christ says it - when you open it up and read it - on YOUR TIME!!!
But in reality, there is NO frill and fun when Jesus talks - it is eternally serious business!
Eventually, nobody is there to hear it said!

We think in the vanity of our mind instead of the purity of His Mind!

We tend to fall for the strong delusion - the big lie!
Not in the scriptures but in the walk of them that do!

For the same reasons they killed Jesus Christ then, they are trying to kill Him in our lives today - in the KJV!

We can live the 'crucified' life or the 'risen life.' Which Jesus do you already have?
If you have "another Jesus" - you have the crucified and still on the cross Jesus that matches the movie The Passion of the Christ?

If you have the Real Jesus - you have the crucified AND RISEN Jesus - HE IS THE RIGHT JESUS!

And He has already come to you!

We can have His Joy now, THEN we can have that exceeding
joy when He comes to get us physically!
