In the last post, I talked about the Heart Of His Ministry, and today I would like to address the Heart Of The Gospel.

At no time in history is this message more important than today.

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. ¹⁷ For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

And so it is.

God loves the world.

God loves you.

And God has no condemnation for those who believe in Him.

How can this be rejected?

It is the only thing we really need to step forward.

We trade our mortality for an eternal existence to be lived out today.

I often wonder …

How will I afford that?

How can I get through this …. ?

Where am I going next?

What is in store for my kids in their future?

The reality is that all of these questions do not matter compared to the one that really does … and that is:

WHO do you believe in for your eternal existence?

And once you answer that you can build your day, and your life, around it.

In The Name of the Father and the

Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

When an NFL player hits a crisis, it must be very hard to pull out of it. The quarterback, in particular, is in the eye of the storm. Surrounded by hostile grown men whose primary purpose is to bring pressure and physicality, the quarterback must face the hurricane and deliver in the biggest moments.

CJ Stroud is the new generation of men who “walk into the lions den”. And he seems to know who he is and who he belongs to. In every interview that I have seen, he thanks God through Jesus and plays for something bigger. Bless him for representing.

The reason he is in those interviews, in my opinion, is that he has adopted another character trait that Jesus recommends:

“Seeing It Before It Is”

Some would call it Faith. I call it FAITH AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL.

And Jesus knew this faith and taught this faith.

Matthew 16 ¹³ When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”

¹⁴ They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

¹⁵ “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”

¹⁶ Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

¹⁷ Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven. ¹⁸ And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. ¹⁹ I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” ²⁰ Then he warned his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Christ.

Jesus saw Peter.

He saw the plans of the enemy.

He saw the sins of men.

He saw the future.

Jesus chose Peter to build the church before he was worthy to be even a member.

And He sees what lies in front of you.

That’s a leader that makes the best NFL quarterback look like a Pop Warner back up.

And it is who we should be following as we navigate a rocky future. Jesus Sees It Before It Is … He is worthy of my devotion and surrender. He is the Christ … the Son of the Living God. All praise and honor and worship to the God who loves us too much to let us go.

In The Name of the Father and the

Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
