NO NAME UNDER HEAVEN THAT CAN SAVE MANKIND

Acts 4:12
Because it was only Jesus Christ who
claimed to pay the price for OUR sin. A
radical claim made by no other. The cross He
died on and His resurrection from the dead
confirmed His Word.
He was rejected by most. He is loved by
many. You can discover why here at
His life has brought inexpressible love and joy
to so many who call Him ‘Lord and Savior’.
Speak the truth. Be kind, generous and
helpful. Love even our enemies. These are
the qualities promoted by the Prince of
Peace. Who can disagree? It is when Jesus
pointed out that He was the Christ, the
expected Messiah who had come to save us
from our sins that furious objections arose.
Then Jesus said: “I and the Father are one.”
John 10:30. It was when He claimed to be
God Himself that they attempted to kill Him.
John 10:31.
Why? Many claim to be God. No one cares.
Why was Christ’s claim different? The
difference was the fact that His claim is true.
As foretold in
Isaiah 53 and throughout the
Bible (Fulfilled Prophecies), He hung on a
cross to pay the penalty for our sin. Our sins
are as real as His shed blood. We are all
guilty as sin! Some folks ask God to forgive
them, some don’t.
How about you?
Jesus said: “I stand at the door and knock. If
anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I
will come in to him…”
Revelation 3:20
Is He knocking at your door now? Let Him in,
receive forgiveness of your sins and
everlasting life. What’s the downside?
Ah, a loss of pride. We know. Many have
thought the same. Then Jesus Christ
changed our hard hearts and made us whole.
Our pride changed to joyful and permanent
gratitude.
Then, to our inquisitive delight, all of our
logical and scientific questions got answered
in spades. For fun check out our

link above. What a joy it is to know actual
and ultimate truth; to know Jesus Christ! He
IS the truth! Jesus said: “I am the way, and
the truth, and the life.”
To be loved by God is the greatest love one
can receive. He also told us how to show our
love: “Greater love has no one than this, that
someone lay down his life for his friends.”
John 15:13 Jesus laid His life down for us. It’s
our job to serve Him by serving others in His
Name and spreading the Good News
(Gospel)!

My kingdon aint of this world!My kingdon aint of this world!

John 18:36
36Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of
this world. If my kingdom were of this world,
my servants would have been fighting, that I
might not be delivered over to the Jews. But
my kingdom is not from the world.”
