This goes out to the one who is searching for where they want to put your chips on eternity…….

 

I can say that because I came to that place and have already placed my bet…..

 

So with bias, I give you this:

 

  1. You have an encyclopedia worth of code written on your DNA that says YOU ARE DESIGNED.  And if you are designed, then that means you have a designer.
  2.  A guy named Jesus showed up in the middle of nowhere some 2000 years ago and made some claims as bold as anyone could ever make.  He was crucified and AFTER He was claimed to have been risen from the dead—the entire world changed in a radical way. Men, and women, without power, prestige, or money sold out to spread the word that this Jesus is the ONLY WAY.
  3.  If you read what this guy did, you can come to one of three conclusions (according to Josh McDowell–More Than A Carpenter) about who He was:
    1. He was Lord
    2. He was a lunatic
    3. He was a liar

 

John 3  1Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a member of the Jewish ruling council. 2He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him.”

3In reply Jesus declared, “I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”

 

It must have been pretty hard to understand how a man could be “born again”…..and yet, that is exactly what Jesus shared with Nicodemus….”You must be ‘born again’”.

 

But looking at it from where I sit, He knew exactly what He was saying……

 

We have a chance to throw in with the greatest man who ever lived.  To follow Him. To talk to Him. To worship Him. We have a chance to completely change our mindsets and be who He has called for us to be.

 

This offer is not for the perfect…….and He spent no time sharing that His offer was to people who had it all together….

 

He was offering it to:

  Thieves

  Prostitutes

  Money Mongers

  Murderers

  Adulterers

  And anyone else who had not measured up IN ANY WAY to what might be holy

 

So how will you respond?

 

John 3  16  “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

 

This offer is all about freedom.  It is for everyone. It is the most important offer that you could ever consider.

 

He will not only change your eternity…..

He will change your today.

 

In The Name of the Father and the

Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
