Thank you Bro. Ryan, I heartily agree! We need more messages on our identity in Jesus Christ. Many are searching for something, struggling to find acceptance. May God impress you to say more on this! Ignore criticism, you’re spot on and led by God with your messages. Praise God you’re listening to Him!
Amen ...we thank Hod gor using uou pastor to speak to our hearts once again we need to hear more messages like this where we can examine our own hearts to see where we are in the faith...God bless you pastor
Happy Sabbath everyone 🙏🏽. I am new to trying to follow the teachings of Christ. So I watched the sermon thinking it’s the best thing ever 📖. So I scrolled down to the comments and saw two people saying that there are areas where Ryan missed the mark. So am hoping he would see these comments and clear up any misunderstandings or misconceptions for my understanding.
@@ann-mariekelly3229... no apologies needed. We are glad to provide further clarification when needed. We are so glad you are seeking to follow Christ! Blessings my friend!😊🙏
WE NEED TO PREACH THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST, And we will have his Identity. Prayer is what Identify Us in Christ. A Church that does not PRAY, Is a DEAD Church. When we Pray, we Live Unto God. Jesus Said, My House is a House of Prayer, Not a Dens of Thieves. We are the House of God, and our House should be the House of Prayer. When we Pray, We Live unto God.. Why do we Have a identity Crisis?? Because we Have no Foundation, we have been fed Milk by these False Prophets, Most of the Sermons of today, Exalt the Earthly KINGDOM,
I listen to all the 3abn team and have never had occasion to question their responses and teaching. However, on this occasion, i don't believe Ryan has the correct grasp when he gave the example of Jesus suffering an "identity crisis" whilst up on the Cross. Jesus was merely quoting early scripture and bringing it to light to those around him at the time. Perhaps to show that prophesy was being fulfilled. What strength of mind and character required to quote scripture in the midst of his intense suffering. Yes, Jesus was human, however, he was divine and did not succumb to any wavering in his mission by doubts. He had already reconciled this with God when he'd asked for this cup to be taken away in the garden of Gethsemane, to which he then said, that "God's will be done". Liliana
I appreciate your response. Let me bring some clarification. While Jesus was fully divine, something happened to Him when He was in the Garden of Gethsemane. Notice how less than 24 hours before the cross Jesus seemed to completely know the status of His and the Father's relationship. "I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was." (John 17:4, 5) He seemed very clear on the task at hand and the connection He had with the Father. Yet, when on the cross, a few hours later, He cries out the very words expressed in Psalm 22. "Father, Father, why have You forsaken me." This was not Jeuss having some scripture quoting session atop the cross. He was discombobulated and being oppressed by the sin and wrath that was being poured out on Him. I'm not saying that Jesus was denying Himself or the Father. I'm simply recognizing that, like us, even the Son of God was unsure of the Father's presence due to the oppressive, confusing results of sin. We fall due to our own selfishness and pride. He fell due to His self-sacrificing love for us and willingness to pay the penalty we deserve. Same results, different motives.
@@RyanDay777 Dear Ryan. Thankyou for taking the time to respond. I understand your explanation, however I don't feel that at the moment Jesus cries out, despite having the weight of the world's sins on His shoulders and feeling that momentary separation from His father, that this example could sustain the argument for our perfect and spotless lamb of God having a crisis of his actual identity. I feel this 'opinion' could be misrepresenting Jesus. Perhaps you could discuss this with your 3abn colleagues for their perspective. Thankyou and God's Blessings. Liliana
This message appears to say that it is OKAY, for folks to suffer identity crisis, because Jesus suffered an "Identity Crisis" on the cross." I wish he opened his sermon at the 50:00 min mark, to make things more clear. Although Ryan's sermon in summary (do we know who we are, especially our connection with Jesus?), a message with this title can give the wrong impression in an age where Identity Politics are prominent, folks unable identify a man from a woman.
I didn't get that feeling at all. I thought Ryan was saying that Jesus also went through the same struggle that we do. When the sin of the world was upon Him, He struggled.... just as we do. God bless you, I hope you'll (and I) find clarity in God's word. Blessings!
