For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes on Him, should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16
Think of it. God sent his Son to die for the Whole world. Not just the church/government leaders of the day. Not just the elite. Not just the poor. Not just you. And not just me.
The world is a big big place. I looked up an estimate of about how many people live in the world today. It said that approximately 7.6 billion of us occupy it. That is a lot of people. But that is today. It is also estimated that approximately 100 billion have lived here since the beginning of time.
I ask you. Of all the other proposed gods of this world, can any other but Jesus make that claim. Could Mohammed? Or Budha? How about the modern day "gods" like Jim Jones and David Koresh?
Those men and many others could not honestly make the claims that Jesus did. Oh, they have tried and some still do. However, many have died and not come back to life. Only One did that.
Jesus.
Notice that I put a period after His name.
Because He is It. There is no other under heaven that can make the claims that Jesus did. And he proved it by dying on the cross and shedding His own blood....
and then raising from the dead...
For the Whole world!
This is the greatest promise the bible holds. First and foremost. Because without it, we will not enter heaven to live with him...
forever.
And God help those that reject him. Because they kill him over and over every day with their rejection.
Think about it, Friends. And thank God you aren't one of them.
Thanks for coming by today.
God bless!
