Despite the hate, chaos, confusion and turmoil in the world, the work of the cross and the power of the resurrection continues to change the hearts of men.
Jesus, the King, chose to come to earth, live as a man tempted like we are and die a horrible death by crucifixion so we wouldn't have to. He shed His blood as a sacrifice for the sin of all. He did it for love of His Father and for each of us.
John 3:16-17 says, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him."
All that is required to receive the forgiveness and the abundant eternal life He offers is to receive Him into your heart. No amount of good works can earn our salvation. The resurrection is our assurance that all those who have received Him shall also rise from the dead and be with Him for all eternity.
May you be blessed by the Living God and receive newness of life.
