Man and woman all over the world is looking for away out, a way out of their misery and troubles , a way out of life’s troubles and it all boils down to the solution, the elixir or once and for all eternal solution, and right across all this there lies this yearning this eagerness to follow a one true God who can solve this, we’ve so many people approach us demanding to have a word with us about Christ and they go………., telling you of a man who dies so many years ago, dyeing for the sins of the whole world and after all said and done the convicted soul asked the most important question that is going to start him on a journey of eternal life : Sir, we Would See Jesus, then the preacher makes the most horrible of all mistake, he introduces his church, denomination and pastor and there way of service, instead of Christ he brags on how there church supersede all other churches and can eve guarantee Heaven, how they help people and how his life is going to change by attending for the first month, but the question in the yearning heart still remain : Sir, We Would See Jesus.

A Story was told of tunde, a backslidden young boy in his 20’s who later found his way to Christ in one high-brow Church, the preacher who made the alter was promising them that If there situation didn’t change in a month they can go back to their sin, and Tunde was like excuse me is it the same Christ you are talking about, yes Christ can change a person life in just a second but his bragging is more of the flesh than of Christ promises, were all the apostles promised this right away, even the bible record the backslidden act of some of the apostle and how they were tempted and tried, so where do you get yours, Tunde was very surprise at the statement of the pastor though we all know his life transforming promises only rally round having a job and connection but no link to Christ. Tunde is still battling with the question “ Please, I will like to se Christ.

The Life of Christ is gradually disappearing from His people, instead of seeing Christ we see the Church and of the true Priest we see our pastors, we tend to freely discuss our pastors achievement that Christ atonement, where as the question still remains, excuse me please, I want to see Christ.

It is never too late to direct wandering souls to Christ when we can now that we still have the time, Christ is pouring out his spirit on all flesh and his expecting us to use this numerous gift to show to all men but in contrast we show ourselves.

O that today you would listen to his voice, harden not your heart.

I also will like to see Jesus.

I want to see God's face touch His grace, He Gives so much meaning to my life I wish we all could understand that he is more than sufficient.

I will see some day. So help me God.

The most amazing experience one could have is the day he/she will have an encounter with our Lord... He (God) makes our lives beautiful

hmmm, Christianity of nowadays is sadness and pity all combined in the eyes of the saints

The day you see Christ, you will pass out. Lolz. But if you are born again thou, you will surely see Christ

Yes one day we will see Jesus

I would also like to see Jesus, my dad once told me he saw his face when he was still a Muslim and that's what converted him

Knowing God is the most beautiful experience anyman can have. I just love God.
