Greetings to all in the name of our wise LORD.

Praise the LORD my God Almighty; He has saved me.

Praise and worship the LORD who has created the the heavens and the earth. He makes the sun rise and set; He is our protector and everlasting Father, with all power and glory. 

King Jesus is kind, patient, and like a feast unto our souls. Our wonderful and great God is majestic; He is love. 

And He desires to lavish His love on us.

He is with us when we are brokenhearted.

He is with us when we suffer.

He will wipe away the tears of ALL of His children.

He has sent His Son Jesus Christ to DIE for sinners!

Imagine, if somebody suffered and DIED for you that you could live! Even though you rejected and denied that person!

Jesus was beaten to death. He was whipped and spat upon. The people mocked Him, saying "Hail, King of the Jews!". They even made a crown of thorns and placed it upon His head. He literally carried His own heavy cross all the way to a place called Golgotha, which means "the skull". This is where He was crucified, along with two other men. He was literally put into the same category as sinning criminals. His earthly body was torn apart. He was so bloody that He could not even be recognized. All of this suffering for YOUR sake. He did all of this for you, a sinner. Even knowing your many sins, He was still willing to suffer so that you may live.

 Friends, that is incredible love.

Jesus Christ is the Messiah. He knows you; He UNDERSTANDS you. Even when nobody understands you, He does.

He has given you everything that you have. He gave you your house, your food, your water, and all the gifts that you have ever received. He gave you your LIFE. He wants to show you amazing things - things that will take your breath away.

Let Jesus lift you up when people try to get you down. He wants to pull you out of the depths of darkness and receive you into His family.

Even if your own parents have rejected you, God loves you with a powerful love; He has accepted you. He approved you from the beginning, even while knowing your sins. He will receive you. He is the love and the joy you have been looking for all of your life!

You can FEEL His love! The cool breezes that you enjoy, the bright sun that you look up at and smile, the majestic moon, the ravishing deep blue sky, the fluffy white clouds, even all the sweet smells of the world. All this He has created. And all the joy of these things is yours from Him. 

You have so much more than you think. 

He wants you to live with Him in his beautiful home. In fact, He has invited you. But there is only one door. There is only one way in.

That way is Jesus.

And if you try to break into His home any other way, He will catch you. You will be considered a thief and a robber. Enter through the door - any other way, and you will be stealing. The only way to receive the glorious plan He has for you is to receive Jesus Christ, our beautiful and caring Savior. Jesus is the Way, and the Truth, and the Life, and no man will come unto God the Father, but by Him. He is like a banquet for our souls. 

He was crucified for your sake. Thank the Lord, He rose again. 

Believe on Jesus the Messiah. 

He is all that we will ever need.

He is ALL that we will ever need.

Repent, take up your cross, and follow Jesus. 

1 John 5:7, "For there are three that bear record in heaven; the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."

Amen.
