Many parts of the story of Jesus seem as impossible as stories of aliens and Bigfoot. For many people, however, the most impossible part to believe is that his story can make any difference in our story. But when we grasp the identity of Jesus the impossible becomes part of our story.
MAIN IDEAS:
[01:13] The story of Jesus has always been difficult to believe.
[02:49] We find it hard to believe that the story of Jesus can make a difference in our story.
[03:56] When we grasp the identity of Jesus the impossible becomes part of our story.
[07:17] Jesus always tells us to base our confidence and trust in him.
[09:59] In and through Jesus the impossible has arrived.
[13:23] If Jesus is who he said he is then we can be and do what he said we can be and do.
[14:15] We can see Jesus make a difference in other people’s lives and still not believe he can do anything with ours.
[17:35] Jesus won’t make a difference in our lives, until we are willing to let him make a difference in our lives.
[20:31] Jesus makes the impossible possible in each of our lives.
INVITATION: [19:43] Every morning ask: If Jesus is who he said he is, what does that mean for me today?
