JESUS
DIED FOR ! |
This
page, and others that will follow, will be for people who want to learn
about learn about Jesus and God, to encourage them and to spread the
Word about God's saving Grace and Truth.
Nearly 2000 years ago a man died.
Nothing unusual about that you might think, people die all the time -
so what.
Well
friend, that man was something VERY special. That man was the
Son of God
You
might be thinking to yourself - why is this guy rabbiting on about
Jesus when there are literally thousands of religions that I can choose
from. They have all got something to offer.
Well,
yes there are, but all these other religions are man made - They deal
with idols and what I call men worship. They are all frauds. Even some
that profess to be God religions have been twisted and perverted by
the men that either invented them or re-shaped them to meet their own
ends.
A
real relationship with Jesus, the Son of God cannot be compared to any
of the imitations. Jesus stands alone without equal. Jesus is the ONLY
way to God!
You
see friend, Getting religion can sometimes be worse than not getting
any at all. You simply go through the motions - you become a 'Sunday
Christian'. Your journey only lasts as long as the service and sometimes
even fades to quiet snoring the moment the sermon starts.
The
Journey with Jesus is really different.
A
few facts about Jesus.
Jesus
fulfilled over 300 prophesies from the Bible. The Old Testament foretold
of his birth and where it would be, His death and how He would die.
In fact 29 of the prophesies were fulfilled in a single day!
He
rose from the dead - and was seen by over 500 people over a period of
42 days. None of the other major world religions can make this claim
- once their leaders died, that's the way they stayed!
Jesus
Christ offers forgiveness of sins. Every single person on this earth
has sinned --through cheating, lying, stealing, lust, etc. and we need
to be forgiven. If you asked certain religious leaders for a solution,
they would just shrug their shoulders and say it is your problem. Another
religion would say you can get it right in your next life - probably!.
A psychiatrist will tell you, "Step in my office for some counselling.
Oh, that'll be £100 per hour once a week
Ask
Jesus to forgive you and He will. There are no hidden charges - a rare
thing these days.
Jesus
offers a personal relationship with God unlike other religions.
- A
Christian does not have to perform rituals and rites to please a God
- A
Christian does not have to chant and give offerings to un-seeing and
un-hearing statues
- A
Christian does not have to follow complex dietary and cultural laws
- Other
religions worship any of a combination of millions of gods and goddesses
- Some
people even claim to be their own god
For
the Christian, Jesus Christ is the source of all that is required. Jesus
is a real presence that is with the Christian day and night - ALL
the time, guiding, loving, teaching, healing, supporting.
Gods
word is pure and teaches us how to live. How to recognise that He is
Holy and without blemish. That we as sinful. That He sent Jesus Christ,
His only son to suffer great pain and die for us on the Cross so that
He could take all our sins upon Himself
Friend,
if you are unsaved, please ask God to reveal Himself to you. He can
be known--
- He
is not unknowable
- He
is not unreachable
- He
is not a force (or non-existent)
- You
are not alone in this world
- You
certainly don't have to be unsure about His existence
Come
to Jesus Christ and you will never hunger, you will never thirst or wonder
again about who God is.
Matthew
11:28-30 says:
"Come unto me, all ye that labour
and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you,
and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find
rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
There
is one God, He is the true God. There is none other. The Bible says so.
"I
am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God." Isaiah
44:6
There
is a right answer for your life...
His name is Jesus.
There
is something else VERY important that you should know...
