The Promise

What if you knew the date that your life would end? One the one hand, most of us wouldn’t want to know that kind of information. It would make those last days dreadful, counting down the days, one at a time! But on the other hand, it would allow us to take care of any important business that needed to be wrapped up before we go. We could set our affairs in order. We could communicate the things that we felt were of great importance to the people close to us. 

 With this in mind, I cant help but think that in the days and weeks leading up to Jesus arrival in Jerusalem, and His ultimate appointment with the cross, Jesus may have felt a heightened sense of focus in the things He shared with those around Him. Jesus was about to unveil the greatest promise ever to be shared in the history of the world: The Promise of New Life. No gift could be greater, no blessing more abundant. The New Life that Jesus brought to the world contains present and future implications that we will spend the rest of eternity learning about! 

This Sunday I’ll be opening up a four-part series for Easter: The Dawn of New Life, where we’ll be tracking Jesus from the teachings he shared before His entrance into Jerusalem, all the way through to His resurrection and the great commission. I believe it will be a powerful series that will change lives forever, not because I am teaching it, but because it's the account of the greatest gift ever; The NEW LIFE we have in Christ! 

I hope you’ll join us this Sunday, March 25th, for the first installment of our series, “The Promise of New Life.” 

 PS – be sure to invite someone to church this Sunday. You can tell them they’ll hear the greatest story ever told!
