Jesus of Nazareth
Here's the fascinating story of the Man almost no one understands or cannot explain - yet whose message can change your life. Whatever our opinion of Jesus, one thing is certain. As a result of just 3-and-a-half years of preaching/teaching, Jesus Christ electrified and transformed the world. He represented everything necessary for salvation.
First, He would give His life - body and blood - for the sins of humanity. Then Jesus, after being resurrected from the dead would live His of obedience all over again in repentant humans through the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus told His disciples and the entire world, "I AM the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live."
JOHN 11:25).
If we accept that Jesus died, then He must have been a mortal human being like each of us. If we accept that Jesus was resurrected to immortal life, we cannot deny that He must have been the Son of God. If we accept He was God in the flesh, then His promises - His commands - His instruction - His warnings must be listened to!
Can anything good come out of Nazareth?
YES, Jesus Christ the Saviour of the world!
Listen, He was born in an obscure village, the child of a young virgin peasant Jewish woman. He grew up in still another village, where He worked in a carpenter's shop until He was 30. For the next three years He was an itinerant preacher. He never wrote a book. He never held an office. He never had a family or owned a house. He didn't go to college. He never travelled more than 200 miles from the place where He was born.
He did none of the things one usually associates with greatness. When He was 33, the tide of public opinion turned against Him. His friends ran away. He was turned over to His enemies and went through the mockery of a trial. He was nailed to the Cross between two thieves. When He was dying, His executioners gambled for His clothing, the only property He had on earth. When He was dead, He was laid in a borrowed grave, through the kindness of a friend.Nineteen centuries have come and gone and today, He is the central figure of the human race and the leader of mankind's progress.
All the armies that ever marched, all the navies that ever sailed, all the parliaments that ever sat, all the kings who ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man on earth as much as JESUS of Nazareth!! Is He your Saviour? Is He Lord of your life? Is He directing your footsteps? If not, pray this prayer and accept Jesus Christ into your heart as your own personal Saviour and Lord.
"Dear Lord Jesus, I come to you right now a sinner in need a Saviour.
I ask you to forgive me of all my sins, and wash me in your precious blood.
I accept Christ's sacrifice as perfect and complete.
I ask you Jesus to come into my heart, and change my life and to be my very best friend.
I place my trust in you alone for my salvation.
Thank you for giving me eternal life.
I thank you for writing my name in the Lamb's book of life.
I believe now, I am born aagain, a brand new creation in Christ in God.
I ask you Lord Jesus that your Holy Spirit fill me now and forever"
