I keep finding these notes and cards I wrote my wife. The love of my life since I was 19! She's been with Jesus for nine years now and I never stop missing her but these notes are great. All these things I wrote to her came from all the stages of our life. There's the predictably mushy love letters from our courtship and engagement. The little notes I left for her in the morning over the years. The things I wrote in holiday cards, for birthdays and anniversaries. Lots of different seasons, lots of different ages - before kids, with kids, after kids. Everything from fancy cards to stationery, yeah, scraps of paper too. Many shapes and sizes - but always the same unchanging message. "I love you, baby!"

I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Constant Change and an Unchanging Constant."

I walked into this radio studio the other day, and I had a crowd. Usually it's me and our dedicated engineer. I think half our staff was jammed in here - and there was a big cake on the table where my Bible and notes were. Uh, I love doing these radio programs. But it's never been a party before!

I hadn't been keeping track, but they had. I was about to record "A Word With You" number 10,000! Hard to believe! But it's true! What you're listening to today is our 10,000th program! Sorry, the cake is all gone!

This is a testimony to the God we sing about often in that classic hymn - "Great is Thy faithfulness." When we'd get to the last verse of that song in church, I'd reach for Karen's hand or slip my arm around her waist when we got to these words: "Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow - blessings all mine with 10,000 beside. Great is Thy faithfulness."

I've recorded these programs before children came, while they grew, before grandchildren came, now that they're growing or grown, with Karen by my side, and in the years since she's been gone. Like all those love notes I've found, many seasons. But the message has never changed.

Our word for today from the Word of God - from Galatians 2:20.

About our Jesus. "He loved me, and gave Himself for me." The greatest news on the planet. The God I have sinned against again and again and again loves me so much that He sent His Son to do the dying for the sinning I've done. That you've done.

Good Friday was for me. Good Friday was for you. Not just a historical or religious event. A deeply personal event. He loves me. He gave Himself for me. Then, conquering death on Easter morning, He offered eternal life to me.

This morning, I heard a song that I haven't heard for many, many years. And it took me back to some of the first times I ever preached this Good News. With a Gospel team in college. I was just 18. And when I gave people the opportunity to publicly respond to an invitation to begin a relationship with Jesus, my friend Dave would sing this song. Hearing it again today, took me back to my first days proclaiming this invitation from Jesus that I've now preached across the country and the world.

The chorus simply says - "There's room at the cross for you. Though millions have come, there's still room for one. There's room at the Cross for you."

That was His invitation then. It's His invitation today. To you, my friend. Your sins forgiven, your heaven secured. Just tell him, "Jesus, I'm pinning all my hopes on you to have my sins forgiven. To be in heaven with you someday. Beginning today, I'm Yours." My invitation to you today is to please go to our website, because there you'll find what you need to know to be sure you belong to Jesus from this day on. Our website is ANewStory.com.

Because, today-the day Jesus is reaching out His hand to you - there's room at the Cross for you!
