" LIVE, IN PERSON, JESUS!"

       "But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him,

        For we shall see him as he is."                       1 John 3:2

        Dont you wish sometimes that you could see Me in person? Wouldn't it have been great be alive when Jesus was on the earth in flesh? Today people pray and strain their heart to hear My answer. But back then, you could have asked Jesus a question and heart in an audible voice.

        The good news is, Jesus is coming back in person. You will be able to see and hear Him again. He is coming back to earth to take His family, those love Him, to heaven. And not only will they be able to see Him, but they will be like Him pure and full of peace and joy. Are you ready to go?

        Matthew us that Jesus took Peter, James and John and went up a mountain wherd "he was tansfigured before them his face shone like the sun, and his c.othes became as white as the light" (Matthew 17:2).

         The face of Jesus undoubtedly reflected the purity a newborn infant, untainted by the corrupt and guile that so often are stamped on our face. He confronted His detractors, saying. "Which of you can prove me guilty of sin?"

        When He smiled, and when He frowned (and, on occasion, He did just that), fire flashed in His eyes. But most of the time, say the Gospels, His eyes spoke the language of love.

        I have often tried to imagine what Jesus' eyes looked like probably dark eyes that could vary their expression from an electric storm with lightning flashing to a peaceful, beautiful meadow. Full of flowers and laughing children.

        His gaze pnetrated the venceer of external. Respectability that make us comfortable and saw thrpugh the hearts of people. Hebrew 4:13 tells us that all of our  a tions are visible and naked unto the eyes of Him who rules the universe.

       When I was a lad, the ultimate test of truthfulness that. I had to pass was when my dad would say,  "Son, looked me in the eye!" Peter had boasted that he would never deny Christs, yet three times he attempted to distance himsef from Nesus, even swearing he never knew Him. Then Luke recorded, "the Lord turned and looked straight at Peter" ( Luked 22:61). Their eyes connected. Was it a look of censure an "I told you so" sort of look? I don't  think so; otherwise Peyer, like Judas would have totally despaired of life.

       Lord full in wonderful face. You'll see His love and purity.
