  5. The William Montague Dyke Story When William Montague Dyke was ten years old, he was blinded in an accident. Despite his disability, William graduated from a university in England with high honors. While he was in school, he fell in love with the daughter of a high-ranking British naval officer, and they became engaged. Not long before the wedding, William had eye surgery in the hope that the operation would restore his sight. If it failed, he would remain… 

  6. The William Montague Dyke Story cont. …blind for the rest of his life. William insisted on keeping the bandages on his face until his wedding day. If the surgery was successful, he wanted the first person he saw to be his new bride. The wedding day arrived. The many guests—including royalty, cabinet members, and distinguished men and women of society—assembled together to witness the exchange of vows. William’s father, Sir William Hart Dyke, and the doctor who performed… 

  7. William Montague Dyke Story cont. …the surgery stood next to the groom, whose eyes were still covered with bandages. The organ trumpeted the wedding march, and the bride slowly walked down the aisle to the front of the church. As soon as she arrived at the altar, the surgeon took a pair of scissors out of his pocket and cut the bandages from William’s eyes. Tension filled the room. The congregation of witnesses held their breath as they waited to find out if William could see the woman standing before him. … 

  8. The William Montague Dyke Story cont. …As he stood face-to-face with his bride-to-be, William’s words echoed throughout the cathedral, “You are more beautiful than I ever imagined!”

  9. Our Wedding Day is Coming&We Will See Jesus One day the bandages that cover our eyes will be removed. When we stand face-to-face with Jesus Christ and see His face for the very first time, His glory will be far more splendid than anything we have ever imagined in this life.

  10. Lies & Deception • Willfully Ignorant • Love Our Sin

  11. We can think know all about Him -- yet have never seen him.We… • Parents & teachers tell us • But, we need to see Him for ourselves with the faith eyes of our own heart • We must behold His beauty ourselves and say for ourselves: "You are more beautiful than I ever imagined!" • Hear other’s opinions • Read books

  12. Mankind is Spiritually Blind, but God is Near – People Just don’t See Him

  13. “…they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us.” Acts 17:27

  14. Knowing Jesus is all about seeing Him through the eyes of faith! • At the beginning of His ministry, Jesus was introduced by His Father: “BEHOLD my Son” • John the Baptist: “BEOHLD the Lamb.” • We must open our faith eyes & SEE JESUS!

  15. Seeing Jesus Transforms Our Problems “When I first went to the court, no one stood with me to help me. Everyone left me.... But the Lord stood by me and gave me strength. I was then able to tell his message... He rescued me from that court.” 2 Timothy 4:16-17

  16. “But Stephen was full of the Holy Spirit and he looked up to heaven. He saw God’s glory. And, he saw Jesus, who was standing at God’s right side. ‘Look’, Stephen said. ‘I see heaven. It is open. And I see the Son of Man, who is standing at God’s right side.”Acts 7:54-57

  17. “…It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. The sea became rough because a strong wind was blowing. When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were frightened. But he said to them, “It is I; do not be afraid.” Then they were glad to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.”John 6:16-21

  18. A Picture of Mankind • Life Can be like a Troubled Sea • We Are in a In a Small Boat (our bodies) • It’s Dark -- We don’t Know How to get to Heaven • We Don’t Have Jesus in Our Boat Yet

  19. A Picture of Mankind • The Storms of Life Rock Our Tiny Boat • We Try to Make it on Our Own (rowing harder) • Then We See Jesus • At First We May Fear Him • We Let Him In Our Boat (heart) • Immediately, We are Home -- We are Saved

  20. Seeing Jesus in our circumstances elevates us above the fear "The eagle that soars in the upper air does not worry itself how it is to cross rivers." Troubles aren’t so scary when we see Jesus

  21. Seeing Jesus Part 2 

  22. Seeing Jesus Changes Us Seeing Him changes us to His image. The more we look, the more we change. “Dear friends, we are now God's children, but what we are to be in the future has not yet been fully revealed. We know that if Christ reappears we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him as He is.” 1 John 3:2-3

  23. Spiritual Sight Increases with Use Jesus gives us sight, and He increases that sight as we continue with Him

  24. Spiritual Sight Increases With Use “And he took the blind man by the hand… and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw… And he looked up, and said , I see men as trees, walking . After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.”Mark 8:23,24

  26. “For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully…” 1 Cor. 13:12

  27. Sight Improves from a Lifetime of Looking at Jesus “… So we see God’s glory… That glory changes us. We become more and more like him…II Cor. 3:18

  28. Our Spiritual Sight Improves from a Lifetime of Looking at Jesus… • In Our Life • In Someone Else’s Life • In Blessings & Troubles • At His Coming • At His Throne • In His word, • In Worship

  29. Seeing Jesus Changes Everything • First We Grope in Darkness • Then We Hear the Savior Calling Us • Then We Feel the Holy Spirit Drawing Us • We Face the Greatest Choice in Life • We Call Out to Jesus (turning point) • Our Eyes Are Opened (rejoice) • We Sees Dimly at First • We Continue With Jesus • We Finally See Fully - Face to Face

  33. What is the Sinner‘s Prayer? This is a prayer we can pray when we are ready to admit we are sinners and need Christ’s forgiveness. It must be prayed with faith in our hearts and a readiness to have a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ.

  34. John Wesley’s Testimony “…the preacher was describing the change which God works in the heart through faith in Christ and I felt my heart strangely warmed.” Disciple’s Testimony “They said to each other, ‘Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?’”

  35. A prayer of faith  Pray this prayer if : • If you never have before • You have in the past, but you think it would mean more today • You have been walking afar off and you want to come back • You want to set an example & show others how it is done • You just like to give your heart to Jesus again & again Faith

  36. We Declare Our Faith Publicly Because Jesus Declared His LOVE Publicly “If you stand before others and are willing to say you believe in me, then I will tell my Father in heaven that you belong to me.”Mat 10:32

  37. Dear Jesus, I know I am a sinner & need your forgiveness. I believe you died for my sins. I now turn from sin. Come into my heart I pray. • Do you want to meet Jesus as your savior right now? • Do you believe He died to save you from your sins & that He rose from the dead? • Do you believe that He is waiting to save you right now?

  38. “But some people did accept him. They believed in him, and he gave them the right to become children of God.”John 1:12

  39. “If you openly say, ‘Jesus is Lord’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from death, you will be saved.” Rom. 10:9 • What did you learn today? • What is the meaning of the name-tag? • What have you neen thinking about God lately? • What do you want to tell the world about Jesus?

  40. “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you… …Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and make your hearts pure, you who are half-hearted towards God.”James 4:8 WNT
