Key: Jesus is coming back again and He is coming back soon, not as a lamb to be slaughtered for our redemption as He already did but as a Lion…that can be quite scary!!. But think of it like this, Jesus is coming to take us all to a better place than this, this part of our existence just for us to enjoy part of God’s work for us; do His will by fulfilling purpose and enjoying all Jesus’ sacrifice has bought.
So, give your life to Jesus Christ today so you’d not be left out and if you have strayed please find your back into the Father’s wide open loving hands. He has always awaited your return, just take a moment to say a word of prayer of salvation/rededication to him and He’d take it up from there.
If you’d like to give your life to Christ, please pray this: “Father, I acknowledge that I am a sinner, I confess that Jesus died for me, took all my infirmities and He rose from the dead. Lord please have mercy on me. I accept Jesus today as my Lord and Saviour. Amen.”
