Jesus is the resurrection and the life and He is able and willing to save sinners because of the victorious work He completed at Calvary’s cross.  

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation

2 Corinthians 4:5-6 “5 For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus Lord, and ourselves your bondmen for Jesus’ sake.6 Because [it is] the God who spoke that out of darkness light should shine who has shone in our hearts for the shining forth of the knowledge of the glory of God in [the] face of [Jesus] Christ.”

John 11:25 “25 Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes on me, though he have died, shall live;26 and every one who lives and believes on me shall never die. Believest thou this?”

John 14:1-6 “14 Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe on God, believe also on me.2 In my Father’s house there are many abodes; were it not so, I had told you: for I go to prepare you a place;

3 and if I go and shall prepare you a place, I am coming again and shall receive you to myself, that where I am ye also may be.4 And ye know where I go, and ye know the way.5 Thomas says to him, Lord, we know not where thou goest, and how can we know the way?6 Jesus says to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father unless by me.”

There is a peace that only Jesus can give that many people today are searching for. Jesus said, ” I leave peace with you; I give my peace to you: not as the world gives do I give to you”.

The perfect sinless saviour, Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners and through His wonderful work at the cross, you can receive true peace from God.

Many today are striving to gain money, fame and power in pursuit for never ending happiness. Jesus askes a question in Matthew 16, “For what does a man profit, if he should gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul?” The Bible tells us that God breathed into man and he became a living soul. What is the most valuable to you? The Gospel is preached that you might face the reality of this important question. In our sins we have wondered away from a holy God but His love is so great that He has provided redemption for your soul in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Matthew 16:26 “26 For what does a man profit, if he should gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?”

Colossians 1:13-16 “the Son of his love:14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins;15 who is image of the invisible God, firstborn of all creation;16 because by him were created all things, the things in the heavens and the things upon the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or lordships, or principalities, or authorities: all things have been created by him and for him.”

God has a plan of salvation for mankind and it is absolutely perfect. God’s plan doesn’t need to be added to and nothing needs to be taken away. God so loved the world that He sent His son, Jesus Christ as Saviour for sinners. On the cross, Jesus cried out “It is finished”. The work that Jesus came to do was completed to God’s satisfaction and the scriptures tell us that God raised Him from the dead. Jesus is able to save and deliver you. Have you responded to this great message of salvation?

Luke 23:33-47 “33 And when they came to the place which is called Skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, the other on the left.34 And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And, parting out his garments, they cast lots.35 And the people stood beholding, and the rulers also [with them] sneered, saying, He has saved others; let him save himself if this is the Christ, the chosen one of God.

36 And the soldiers also made game of him, coming up offering him vinegar,37 and saying, If *thou* be the king of the Jews, save thyself.38 And there was also an inscription [written] over him in Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew letters: This is the King of the Jews.39 Now one of the malefactors who had been hanged spoke insultingly to him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us.

40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost *thou* too not fear God, thou that art under the same judgment?41 and *we* indeed justly, for we receive the just recompense of what we have done; but this [man] has done nothing amiss.42 And he said to Jesus, Remember me, [Lord,] when thou comest in thy kingdom.43 And Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

44 And it was about [the] sixth hour, and there came darkness over the whole land until [the] ninth hour.45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple rent in the midst.46 And Jesus, having cried with a loud voice, said, Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit. And having said this, he expired.47 Now the centurion, seeing what took place, glorified God, saying, In very deed this man was just.”

John 5:24-27 “24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that he that hears my word, and believes him that has sent me, has life eternal, and does not come into judgment, but is passed out of death into life.25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that an hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that have heard shall live.

26 For even as the Father has life in himself, so he has given to the Son also to have life in himself,27 and has given him authority to execute judgment [also], because he is Son of man.”

In the Bible there are many accounts when God wrote on tablets or on a wall for men to take account of him. In this Gospel you will hear about the glorious news that while were still sinners Jesus came into this world to lay down His life to bring salvation to fallen mankind.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Exodus 31:18 “And he gave to Moses, when he had ended speaking with him on mount Sinai, the two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.”

Daniel 5:5-6 “5 In the same hour came forth fingers of a man’s hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.6 Then the king’s countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, and the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.”

Daniel 5:22-28 “22 And thou, Belshazzar, his son, hast not humbled thy heart, although thou knewest all this;23 but hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of the heavens; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou and thy nobles, thy wives and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know; and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:24 then from before him was sent the part of the hand, and this writing hath been written.

25 And this is the writing that is written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.26 This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE, God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it;27 TEKEL, Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting;28 PERES, Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.”

John 8:1-11 “But Jesus went to the mount of Olives.2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him; and he sat down and taught them.3 And the scribes and the Pharisees bring [to him] a woman taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,

4 they say to him, Teacher, this woman has been taken in the very act, committing adultery.5 Now in the law Moses has commanded us to stone such; thou therefore, what sayest thou?6 But this they said proving him, that they might have [something] to accuse him [of]. But Jesus, having stooped down, wrote with his finger on the ground.

7 But when they continued asking him, he lifted himself up and said to them, Let him that is without sin among you first cast the stone at her.8 And again stooping down he wrote on the ground.9 But they, having heard [that], went out one by one beginning from the elder ones until the last; and Jesus was left alone and the woman standing there.10 And Jesus, lifting himself up and seeing no one but the woman, said to her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? Has no one condemned thee?11 And she said, No one, sir. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.”
