B.C. - A.D.

I was thinking that just a little over two months ago, we were answering the question, "Why is Christmas such a big deal"? It is because Jesus was no ordinary baby. It was God who came to earth, and that news was bigger than when man landed on the moon! It was like a movie. God invaded earth and split history into B.C. and A.D. Every time you are involved in a transaction or a legal document, your reference point is Jesus Christ -- like today, March 27, 2009.

In a couple of weeks, we will ask another question: "Why did Jesus come and give His life for humanity and defy the grips and sting of death"? Think about this: If God would have come to earth as a baby, given His life for a cause and that was all, then He would have just been like any other person giving his life for what he thought was a worthy cause. Here is the difference -- it is one of the facts that separate Christ and seals the deal for our faith... Resurrection.

Ok, here it is, simple and straightforward: Because God loved the world so much, He gave His one and only Son. Your past CAN be forgiven…. Your present life CAN be managed… Your future IS guaranteed.

Think about someone who needs to hear this good news and invite them to join you this Easter.
