Come as You Are: Meaning Continued....

To come to Jesus as you are, is to come with your hang up, habits, and problems. “Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28. (That is the part I want to focus on). we do not need to have it all together to come to Jesus. Most people say how I can come to someone so holy I am a complete mess, a hot mess, or not worthy. People don't realize that God used messed up people, people who were a hot mess and felt not worthy to come to Him and do amazing things for God's kingdom. yesterday we looked at Paul and then at Noah as examples of that.

To come to Jesus as you are doesn't mean you are perfect but imperfect and realizing that you want to change that and be down a path to salvation and to come and be a follower of Jesus which I have spoken for of before in a series called Pick up the cross and follow Him. If we needed to be perfect to come to Jesus, no but Jesus would be on that list, and then what would be the point of a God and salvation and Him dying on the cross, it would be all for nothing. So, you can come to him, no matter what you are going through, habits you have, hang up, or sins you commit. God Doesn't care what you are going because you were created by Him, so you are worthy and by the cross, you have been brought with the price of His blood.

I get drunk and do stupid things, come as you are to Jesus

I eat like a glutenous person, come to as you are to Jesus

I look at things I shouldn't on the internet, come as you are to Jesus

I smoke weed to get high and feel numb, come as you are to Jesus

I go to strip clubs and pay for things of that nature, come as you are to Jesus

I kill Chrisitan's (Like Paul) 

I watch way too much bad TV

I cut myself because I am not worthy

I tell myself that I am not worthy 

(*There are many more, top many to list but you get the idea)

I do all those things, come as you are to Jesus

God doesn't care what it is you have done; nothing is Greater than Him. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16. He overcame the world, he over our Sin so that we can come to him as we are.

God doesn't care about your race, your past, your last name to who you kicked with in High school or are kicking it with, all He cares about is you coming to him as you are to Him today. I am a sinner, come. I am a prostitute, come. I am a tax collector, come. It doesn't matter just come to Jesus as you are. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9.

So, I ask you who do you need to share this with so they can come as they are to and come to Jesus? Do you need to come to Jesus just as you are?
