Zac Poonen - Does Jesus Entrust Himself to You?
Summary
Jesus distinguishes between people who merely believe in Him and those to whom He fully entrusts Himself. Using John 2:24 and Luke 2:25-35, Zac Poonen emphasizes that genuine Christianity requires both personal commitment and Christ's reciprocal trust in us, demonstrated through lives of purity and submission. When Christ's presence is genuinely manifested in a church through anointed leadership, it exposes hidden motives and produces spiritual growth in those truly committed to Him.

Zac Poonen - Has Jesus Committed Himself to You?
Zac Poonen · Aug 31, 2020
The central message is that true discipleship requires the believer to prioritize Christ above all earthly relationships, even family. The speaker draws from John 2:24-25 and Matthew 10:34, arguing that Jesus did not entrust himself to those who merely believed in him without genuine commitment. True faith involves a hatred for sin and a willingness to place Christ's will above the desires of family or man.
