Remember and rejoice, Christian, that Jesus found you where you are in the depths of your sin and misery. He called you to Himself - into a relationship where your sins are forgiven and you are loved forever. -You did not choose me, but I chose you,- Jesus says -John 15-16-. ----Jesus is a friend of sinners. This was truly the scandal of Jesus-s life. This is the SCANDAL of the Gospel. But, it is also the GLORY of the Gospel. It is the difference between the true Gospel and every other religion.
