Jesus was around 30 years old when He began His ministry (Luke 3:23) – preaching the Gospel and healing the sick (Matthew 4:23). His ministry lasted only about three years. Jesus died at a really young age. Do you appreciate what Jesus did for guilty sinners? Have you received the free gift of salvation? (Titus 3:5-7). If not, what’s holding you back?
Jesus took the punishment we deserve! Have you surrendered to Him; thereby acknowledging this fact? Are you saved? Or are you refusing the free gift of salvation? Why will you die in your sins and suffer for eternity in Hell? Jesus paid the price. He paid your sin debt, but you must receive salvation. Don’t reject this amazing gift. Repent and believe the Gospel.
Many of my friends and church family believe that people come to Christ by our actions. In other words, we do good works and people will ask us about Jesus. Or they think that people will just see a difference in you and ask you what you have. There is nothing wrong with helping others. In fact we are commanded to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. The problem is that members of cults do good works, as well as many atheists.
“We have turned everyone to his own way” (Isaiah 53:6). These words were true back when Isaiah prophesied them. How much more true are they in our day and time? We have turned to our own way. Do you see evidence of people doing what they want to do? Do you do what you want to to do? Or do you do what God leads you to do?
Jesus was brutally beaten for sinful people. Do you appreciate what our Lord and Savior did for you? Are you a follower of Jesus? Have you submitted to Him? Do you willingly bow your knee to the One who suffered horrendously for you? Or do you still reject Him? Jesus was brutally beaten. He suffered the wrath of God for the sins of the world. But you have to receive salvation. Have you turned from your sins and turned to Jesus? Are you saved?
Jesus bore our griefs and carried our sorrows while He hung on the cross. He bore our griefs. He carried our sorrows. Have you confessed and forsaken your sins? Have you turned all your problems over to our Lord? Have your put your trust in Jesus Christ?
Jesus was fully God and fully man. I don’t know about you, but when I read about the miracles that Jesus performed, I sometimes envision Him as looking like a super human being. But read the words of Isaiah in chapter 53:2.
Isaiah asked a very important question:Who has believed our message? Do you believe in Jesus Christ our Lord? Do you believe the Good News?
“I used to be a Christian.” Sometimes we hear these words when we are out witnessing: when we hand out Gospel tracts, do one to one witnessing and open-air preaching. People will come up to us and tell us that we believe in a fairy tale and that we should leave people alone. [Read more…]
