Greatest Message Ever Given to Man
By Shirley R. Watts,

Let’s sing…

We’ve a message to give to the nations, That the Lord who reigns up above, Has sent us His Son to save us, And show us that God is love, And show us that God is love.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life…For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved” (John 3:16-17).

“…the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10).

“Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3).

“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:18-19).

Messengers

Message: “A communication of a truth.” Messenger: “One who is sent to proclaim the truth.” Christians are messengers with the message of Christ and we are commanded to proclaim it.

“And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, “teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen” (Matt. 28:18-20).

Christians, it is urgent that we give this message to all. It is the greatest message ever given to man. Because of the blood of Jesus, we can have forgiveness of sin. There is no other way to receive forgiveness and without forgiveness of sin you can’t have eternal life. You must ask God to forgive you and place your faith in Jesus Christ and believe he was raised from the dead…this is eternal life. This is the message we are commanded to give.

Jesus tells us that when we share this message, we do not go alone. “I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. This is the perfect season to share the message of the Cross.

Mom and dad, do you believe in Jesus?

I have met children whose parents said they had been saved, but these same parents never told their children how to be saved or brought up the subject. Can you imagine what it would be like on Judgment Day if the children (youth/adults) never had the message of Jesus explained to them they would be separated for all eternity? Parents watching them cast into lake of fire. Are your children saved?

What about the people you work with every day, your neighbors, your friends, have you shared the message of Jesus? Do they know Christ?

Grandparents, do you know Jesus Christ as Savior? Have you shared it?

Unbelievers

God loves you and sent Jesus to die for your sins. Today you can be forgiven! The world offers salvation in false ways. There is only one who can save you. Jesus said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6). Don’t be deceived and miss eternal life. You must be born again! (John 3).

“…if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved…For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Rom. 10:9-13). Call upon Jesus today!

Christians: “To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen” (Rev. 1:5-8).

What a message! How can we who know Him keep this message from others?

Share the Cross of God’s love today!

I love to tell the story; For some have never heard The message of salvation From God’s own holy Word.
