Gospel

Itís like this.
God made everything - perfect.
He made people - perfect.
And then, almost before he'd had time to kick back and relax, the devil comes along and helps people to royally mess things up.

And that hurt.
It hurt God and it hurt us.
And now, no matter how hard we try, we keep slipping up ñ and the devil is just sitting there laughing at us.
So what did God do about it?
Did he leave us alone to get on with it?
Did he abandon planet earth as a huge mistake?
No.
He stepped out of heaven and came down here.
Into our mess.
So hereís this guy, Jesus.
Meek? Mild? As if.
God in human form.

And he made everything alright.
How?
By dying, beat up and spat on, on a cross.
He took on all of our mess, all our foul-ups, And wiped them out.
And then he came back - awesome and said,
ìI loved you this much. Will you love me?î
It cost him everything, but he thought you were worth it.

So hereís the score.
If you want that kind of love - the kind that's worth dying for.
Heís the guy for you.
And all you have to do Is ask.

Interested?

Talk to him about it. If you canít think of what to say, try this:

Hey Jesus.
I'm sorry for all the times I've messed things up - I know things arenít meant to be that way.
Iím going to do my best not to do them any more, and I don't want anything to do with the devil

Thank you that you thought It was worth going through all that pain just so I could be with you.
Thank you for wiping out all the mess Iíd got myself into.

I want to trust you, and I want to know more about you, so please help me to do that.
Thanks, God
Amen.
