This is by far the most important part of this entire website. Jesus is God's only Son. He was with the Father at the very beginning when everything was created. He was there when I was created, and He was there when you were created. He came to this earth as one of us--a human born of a virgin--to declare the best news any of us would ever hear.
He came to set us free.
He came to heal our bodies.
He came to put our broken hearts back together.
And He came to forgive us.
But when He came to this earth almost 2,000 years ago, no one wanted anything to do with Him. He was despised. He was rejected. And He was put to death on a cross, the most gruesome form of death ever imagined in the history of humanity.But He didn't just die. He rose again three days later, defeating death and the grave!
The most incredible thing about the death of Jesus, the Messiah, was that it was through His death that He gave us everything that He promised us: freedom, healing, restoration, peace, and forgiveness. Isaiah, a prophet from the Old Testament, talked about Jesus hundreds of years before He ever came to this earth. This is what he said about Jesus:
Surely He has borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.
But He was wounded for our transgressions;
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray;
We have turned, every one, to his own way;
And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
-Isaiah 53:4-7
This is the Good News that we share with you today. It's Jesus. He took your sin, your chains, your hurts, and your sicknesses on Himself. It was on the cross that Jesus took all of those things. He only asks of you one thing: that you give your life to Him. Receive His forgiveness in your life today, and He will give you life in Heaven with Him for the rest of eternity.
