Turn with me, please, in the scriptures to Romans the first chapter.

Romans chapter one.

We began a series some weeks ago called Living by faith.

And we're excited about it.

Wow.

We were excited about it.

Huh?

It's true.

And one of the most exciting things

is to think that God might be excited about it.

You might say, say what?

Jesus is the express image of the Father.

Everything he said, everything he did.

He said, if you've seen me, you've seen him.

And he didn't go on and on about everything that was happening around about him.

But you know what he did remark about and was obviously very impressed with,

and you could even use the word excited? What? Faith. He would say, I hadn't seen faith like

this in the whole country. He said, woman, great is your faith.

I mean, that'd be reason enough to want to advance in faith right there,

to just cause the Lord to get excited.

Would it be reason that alone to think that the master is Jesus real?

Yes.
