He Created the world simply by speaking.<\/p>\n

He emptied Himself and came to earth as a helpless baby.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He taught teachers and gave the most astounding moral advice<\/p>\n

He healed the sick and raised the dead.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He submitted to unjust treatment and false allegations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He willingly died for those who ignored and hated Him (you and me).<\/p>\n

He rose again, defeated sin, death and hell.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He went back to Heaven in front of witnesses.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He rules from Heaven in victory.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And He\u2019s coming back as King of the Universe!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Are. You. READY?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

When Jesus is revealed to the world,\u00a0everyone<\/em> will see and know\u2026 Those who are His will also share in His glory on that great day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Are you good enough?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nothing you have done (or can do) is good enough to earn you a spot on the winning team. The only way to be counted in the number saved?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Having already<\/em> put your trust in Jesus – in what He did on the cross\u2026 Do you trust that He paid for your sin?<\/p>\n

When He died on the cross – He was perfect and sin free. He willingly stayed, hanging in agony for the sins of others – including you and me.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That great act of love was planned by God the Father\u2026 He created you, knew you and planned to punish Jesus for\u00a0your\u00a0<\/em>sin!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Crazy right?!\u00a0<\/p>\n

What would definitely be crazy is to ignore this & keep living for your self, money, toys, feelings, achievements, family\u2026 they are all<\/span><\/em> fading away.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jesus<\/p>\n

He. Is. Everything!\u00a0<\/p>\n

You have Him or you have nothing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
