Gospel Meeting 18/01/2015

Mr. Bruce Clark read 1 John 1 vs.1-10 and John 1 vs.43-51.
He spoke about being transparent, and having childlike simplicity.
Jesus was without guile or pretense when He died on the cross for the sin of the world, there were no excuses or get out clauses. He wasn't dying for His own sin because He is Holy, He openly bore our sin and displayed the love of God. Should we continue in sin God forbid, we are crucified with Him. we experience the grace of God. Repentance leads to joy, and we are clothed in His righteousness.
    We need to come in childlike simplicity/ guileless. He that hath seen me hath seen the Father, Jesus is the way. We are complete in Him, Jesus is all we need and we can't add to Him.
Colossians 2 vs.9  For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10  And ye are complete in him,
We already have it all in Him we just need to unwrap it and experience it.
Fear holds us back, the fear of being transparent, and the fear of simplicity. We feel we need to add something of ourselves, but we can't it's all of Him.
