Yea! Preaching time! So sit back relax and READ!
Good Friday, Easter Sunday, and the Saturday in between?
Good Friday: Jesus died for you, yes you on this day, a couple of thousand of years ago. Some texts say 2 thousand, but thats long outdated, so I'll say a couple of thousand. He was arrested, convicted, betrayed, tortured and nailed to the cross beside criminals. He was INNOCENT. Yet, he allowed such things to happen to Him. Why? Because He loves you. He died for you. For you are sinful, and because of your sins, you are doomed to burn in hell forever. Eternity, can you imagine? You've never been in a fire, you've never even been burned, but you've read accounts of it. Imagine being in the intense heat, flames tearing away at you and never being able to escape, never really burning away, just forever burning. Thats the devil's lair, he has lured you in there. And there is only ONE way of escape. And that is to believe that Jesus Christ is Real, that He died on the cross For You. If you believe this, you are free from the fire of hell, and will be welcomed into the gates of heaven, to reside beside your saviour for eternity. No longer in burning hell forever, but eternity in bliss. Believe and you will be there.
He died, so how can I reside beside Him? Thats where Easter Sunday comes into the picture. You see, if you believe, your God and Saviour is a living God. Yes, He died, He bled, His blood cleansed you, He washed away your sins, and He was put into the tomb. But, but, on Easter Sunday, He rose again. He is a Living God. And if you believe in this Living God, you'll not perish in hell, but will be in eternal bliss with your Lord and Saviour.I'll say it again, He died because He loves you, believe, you are cleansed, He has saved you, because He doesn't want to see you suffer in hell, you don't have to do anything to deserve this love with no strings attached. You can be anything, and He will still love you. Accept this love.
Make this decision now. To believe.
This decision is entirely up to you, you are not obliged to believe anything, but I'm telling you this because I believe, and have experienced the wonders of by Saviour. I want to share this experience with you, if only you believe.
He loves You.
