DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

This sermon emphasizes the unconditional love and acceptance of Jesus
Christ towards us, highlighting that He pursued us first, loved us
before we loved Him, and gave everything for us despite our
unworthiness. It challenges the notion of deserving salvation and
focuses on recognizing the immense sacrifice God made for us compared to
what we offer in return. The core message is about humbly accepting
God's love and grace, acknowledging our sinfulness, and experiencing the
miraculous acceptance by Jesus.

CONTENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------

And the thing we should be preaching on is that Jesus Christ accepted
us. He loved us before we loved Him. He went after us before we went
after Him.

He came to us before we came to Him. He drew us before we asked Him to
draw us. And then we turn around and say, why? How do I deserve it?
You've got to make people believe that they don't deserve it because
that's the truth.

You've got to make people, instead of trying to make people say what a
great deal it is, they can get saved. You've got to show people what a
rotten deal they've given to God. He gave them life.

He gave them His blood. He gave them His own Son. He gave them His
Spirit.

And what did you give them? A big life full of heartache. A whole gut
full of trouble. And a bunch of rebellion.

And a whole lot of sin. And a stench in His nostrils. And you've got to
come to my knees and say, can you ever accept me? And He says, yes.

And that's the greatest miracle of all. All this other stuff is
horrible. It's me-centered garbage.

Because you're the center of the universe, brother. Jesus loves you so
much that He came to die for you, you, you. But Paul lifted Jesus up.

Peter lifted Jesus up. The Bible lifts Jesus up. But we today, we lift
the sinner up.

Oh, mighty sinner, Jesus is down here waiting for you to accept Him and
He'll fly up to where you are. It's not humility, it isn't salvation.
It's a glorification of the person and the sinner.
