While we were still sinners!


This is how much God loves us. Jesus lay down His life on that cross just to pay the price for our sins. He doesn't want you to perish and taste death. He wants to you to be free and enjoy eternal life with Him in heaven. Heaven is a beautiful place. There's only joy and peace. Jesus can change your little world into heaven when you allow Him to. Jesus died on that cross so that we didn't have to. He took up our sins. He bore our punishment. Just for us.

It is highly unlikely that someone would lay down his life for another. Maybe for someone who is highly honoured, respected and noble, there might be someone ready to take a bullet for him. But for someone wicked? An adulterer? A thief? A murderer? A cheater? A liar? The good news is, there is someone. His name is Jesus. Jesus died for us while we were yet sinners. He died not because we are any good. Not because we are worthy. Not because we are righteous. But because he loves us. Because God wants to be our father. He yearns to have a personal relationship with you. 

He loves you even in your darkest moment. When man doesn't want to take a second look at you because of the things you have done, Jesus looks at you with love in his eyes. With mercy and grace He will heal you. He won't condemn you. He is ready to forgive you. He will help you get out of this. He will stretch out his arm toward you and accept you for who you are. He will make you new. He will help you start over. He will help you set things right with God and man. We don't deserve this Kind of love. No one has gone through what Jesus went through just so that He could win you over. His death was not easy. He was flogged severely. He was pierced. A crown of thorns was thrust on his head. They nailed him to the cross. The pain was unbearable. There he was. Hanging on a cross. Gravity weighed him down. He bled till the last drop. Bled and died. He died wanting to give you life. He died wanting to give you hope, Peace & Love. He died wanting to give you freedom. Through the power of His resurrection there is freedom. Freedom from sin and death. Freedom from worries and stress. He died wanting you to Know Him. Know Jesus, know peace. No Jesus, no peace.
