Looking at Jesus

Title: Looking at Jesus

Speaker: James Snodderly

Date: December 7, 2025

Bible: Isaiah 6:1-5; John 12:21

The sermon centers on the transformative power of truly seeing Jesus Christ for who He is—high and lifted up, sovereign, compassionate, and worthy of total devotion. Drawing from Isaiah’s vision of the Lord in glory and the story of Lazarus’s resurrection, it challenges listeners to move beyond superficial faith and recognize Jesus as the King of kings, the Redeemer, and the source of eternal life. The preacher emphasizes that a genuine encounter with Christ’s majesty leads to a profound self-awareness, humility, and a willingness to surrender all—time, resources, and comfort—for His service. Through personal testimony and biblical reflection, the message calls believers to reject spiritual complacency, resist the distractions of daily life, and fix their eyes on Christ, who is greater than any trial, debt, or doubt. Ultimately, the sermon invites a renewed, reverent, and life-changing vision of Jesus that reorients every aspect of the believer’s existence.
