What Can Jesus Offer Me? (3 of 14)
Series: Authentic Christianity
Jim Perdue
1 John 2:1-6
Intro/Attention
It seems that our culture is consumed with authenticity or reality. Just look at the popularity of the latest genre of television shows, Reality TV. Shows like Survivor, American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, The Bachelor, The Voice, and so many others show that people are enthralled by reality television. We watch these shows because we are amazed at the reality and authenticity of it all. Remember why we used to watch American Idol...to see all the people who CAN'T sing!
Well, this series is about Authentic Christianity. It's about being the real thing; not a fake, phony or fraud. I don't know about you, but I'm sick and tired of people who say they are Christians but don't act like it at all. I'm tired of people who are fake and phony, who act one way at church but a different way everywhere else. God has called us to a real relationship, Authentic Christianity and it's about time that it takes hold of every part of our lives.
Over the past couple of weeks we've been studying the first chapter of 1 John. In chapter 1 of 1 John, we saw who the real Jesus is and how it affects us. Last week, we saw what it means to be an authentic Christian. And this week, we're going to ask the question, ''What Can Jesus Offer Me?''
This is more than a ''what's in it for me?'' kind of question. Building on the ''real Jesus'' we learned about in 1:1-4, it's essential to see how Jesus offers something better and different than anyone else can offer. Because He is completely unique (God/Man- ''the only begotten'') he can do what no none else can do and offer what no one else can offer. In 1 John 2:1-6, we see that because of who He is, Jesus offers what no one else can offer. READ TEXT
