In 1 Corinthians 15:3 & 4, Paul said he had an important message that he was compelled to pass along to his readers. What is The Message?
The Message isn't, “The Bible is a good book. Read it.”
Rather, the Bible is the tool God chose to use to deliver The Message to us.
The Message is to be shared. Romans 10:17 says, “...faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.”
When a person hears The Message he comes to have faith. He begins to believe. He has hope. He gains life.
The Message is simple.
The Message is good news.
The Message is for everyone!
So, what is The Message?
Jesus is Messiah!
Messiah has come!
Believe and be saved!
That is The Message: Jesus came to save us – to offer us forgiveness and eternal life if we believe in Him.
That is The Message I have for you today. I hope you believe The Message and accept it and Jesus into your life today!
Enjoy my Cross & Bunny Digi-Journal entry. Use it as a reminder that Paul’s message, the message of God’s love, Christ’s sacrifice, and the salvation God offers is for you, too. Please accept it!
Let’s pray together.
Heavenly Father, thank You for sending Jesus to be a part of our lives. Please touch the hearts of all our friends and family, and even our enemies and help the to see and understand the message and accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
