Bebo Norman - I Hope You See Jesus

Bebo Norman is fast becoming one of my favorite singer/songwriters. This song taken off his new album Ocean , is a beautiful reminder that we are not the gospel. Our testimony is not the gospel. Yes our lives must reflect Jesus Christ , and therefore point people to Christ but even our best days , we need the cross, the blood, the lamb who took our place. The gospel is something outside ourselves , that Jesus took our sin , nailed on the cross and paid our guilt and shame . He hung in our place , took that bitter cup from the Father that we might stand before a holy God clothed in his righteousness. God the Father crushed the Son , so that He could satisfy the law , removing the wrath due us . The Father loved so he gave the Son . May the Holy Spirit awaken out hearts to this glorious truth as we prepare our hearts to worship on the Lord's day .


[20] Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God [21] For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
(2 Corinthians 5:20-:21 ESV)
