here is a beautiful verse tucked away in what I call God`s love letter to all humans. We find it in John 3:16: “For God so loved the world (humans) that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should (shall) not perish but have everlasting life.” God himself became involved in that He expressed love by sending His only Son. WOW, can you imagine dispatching your only Son? Jesus had

to live among a group of people who would harass him every day of His adult life. It all began when Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. “And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards He was hungry.” Matthew 4:1,2 says, “Jesus being hungry and weak, when Satan tempted him.” (You ever notice that Satan comes when we are most vulnerable and weak). At least here Satan lost big time. Later on, Satan continued his menacing strategies by using prestigious people to aggravate and test Jesus at every turn. However, Jesus never lost sight of His objective to save mankind (you and Me). We further find in John 14:6, where Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth and the life, No one comes to the Father
except through me.” Our salvation can only come through Jesus Christ. There is no other way to heaven except the Jesus way. The price that He paid was very involved and excruciatingly painful. He was beaten and bruised beyond recognition. His words from the cross, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they are doing,” became very important for us. He did all that so we could be assured a place with Him in heaven. So our safety and security is in Him and Him alone. That whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Friend, you too can be secure in Christ by accepting Jesus as your p e r s o n a l S a v i o u r. H e promises to intercede on our behalf and prepare a home in heaven for us. God bless you all.
