I Am Here
41 You are doing the works your father did.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father—even God.” 42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and I am here. I came not of my own accord, but he sent me.

I Am Here
Jesus does not come of his own accord. He is sent. That makes him the Chief Apostle. “Apostle” means sent one. Jesus is sent into the world to do the Father’s will. You can see the stark contrast between the sin of our hearts and the righteousness of faith. Jesus comes that we would stop hating, lying, and murdering. He comes that we would be transformed into righteous children of God and love. The only way he can transform you is to come to earth and die on the cross and rise again. That victory is applied to you in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. You receive the gifts of heaven because Jesus loves you. He loves the world, and he has bought it back from death from the devil. Now he reigns with you forever. The Chief Apostle has claimed you for the Father. Now you live forever with him.
