For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
What do you think of when you hear the word love? You may think of your spouse, your children.
We use the word love about material things. “ I love my house”
What is true love? The best example is found in the familiar verse, John 3:16. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
God’s love is the greatest love we can experience. He sent His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross to pay the penalty for our sin.
Because of His great love we can have eternal life.
This week we were amazed to learn that people from 53 different countries visited our blog. What an incredible reminder that God can use even a simple website to reach people around the world with the message of His love.
Every visitor represents a person with a soul that will spend eternity somewhere. Some may be searching for answers. Some may be carrying burdens and heartaches. Others may have never heard a clear presentation of the Gospel. Yet God, in His providence, allowed them to visit our website and read about His wonderful gift of salvation.
The greatest expression of God’s love was demonstrated when He sent His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for our sins. Through His death, burial, and resurrection, the way has been made for all people to be forgiven and receive eternal life.
Today, let us pray for those who visit the website. Pray that the Holy Spirit will speak to their hearts as they read. Pray that those who do not know Jesus as their Savior will understand the Gospel and place their faith in Him. Pray that believers will be encouraged, strengthened, and drawn closer to the Lord.
We may never meet many of these visitors on this side of heaven, but God knows each one by name. What a joy it would be to one day meet people in heaven who came to know Christ because they visited a website, read a blog, or were touched by a message that pointed them to Jesus.
Let us continue to faithfully share the Good News and trust God to use it for His glory around the world.
Do you remember the saying, “What Would Jesus Do?” It became very popular years ago. Many people wore bracelets, placed it on their cars, or displayed it in their homes.
Today, I want to encourage you to think of it a little differently: “What Would Jesus Think?”
If we think like Jesus, we begin to put others before ourselves. We strive to be humble rather than proud. We choose to give rather than take. We learn to love our neighbors with compassion and grace. As we grow in this mindset, we become more like Jesus.
So today, rather than grumble and complain, let us choose thankfulness. Let us look at others through the eyes of Christ. Let us think with kindness, humility, and love.
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. Philippians 2:5 KJV
Last Saturday SOS Events Team went to the 21st Annual Car Show at Bay Life Church in Brandon, Florida.
God blessed the volunteers with 4 decisions. People who came to see classic cars went home with the assurance that they now will go to Heaven because they put their faith in Jesus Christ.
The message they heard was that Jesus died on the cross, was buried and 3 days later He arose!
They realized that they were sinners, asked for forgiveness, and believed that Jesus paid the penalty for all their sin.
Please pray for these people. Following Jesus is not always easy, but There is no greater joy than a life surrendered to Him.
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13
Who is the most important person in your life? It may be your spouse, a child, your boss or coworker, maybe your best friend. All of these people are important.
But, there is someone that should be the person that is even more important than anyone else.
He is able to comfort, guide, bless, and save you. He provides a way to eternal life through His death, burial and resurrection. His name is Jesus. Please make Him the most important person and Lord of your life.
If you have a true friend you are blessed. If you have several good friends you are extremely blessed.
God gives us friends in our lives to come along by our side to uplift us in times of trouble or sorrow. They rejoice with us when we have joy. They are loyal. Thank God for the friends in your life.
There is a Friend that is even better than the one we have here on earth, His name is Jesus!
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 15Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. John 15:13-15
Recently, another successful day at the Mountain Top Flea Market in Attalla, Alabama. This SOS Events team, led by Ronnie Burlison, had 13 people who trusted Jesus as their Savior.
What a powerful reminder of this verse—faith comes by hearing the Word of God. Each conversation, each Gospel presentation, and each willing worker sharing the truth makes an eternal difference.
Those 13 decisions didn’t happen by accident. It happened because someone was willing to speak, and someone was willing to listen. God’s Word still works today just as it always has.
May we never underestimate the power of simply sharing the Gospel. You never know who is ready to hear—and believe.
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17
In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. Matthew 26:1-9
John 19:17 & 18 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
John 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting
