Have you ever felt that God was somehow missing from your life? You think He might be out there somewhere, but you wished you knew. Have you ever wished that He was closer to you? It may surprise you, but that’s how the God of the Bible feels about you. In fact, He wants so much to get close and personal with you that He came here as a human – Jesus Christ. Jesus was a man on a mission. Everything he did challenged people around him to rethink their priorities. He told them the kingdom of God was nearer than they thought, but they couldn’t get there on their own. Nobody is squeaky clean enough for the high standards of heaven - each of us has so much baggage – words we’ve said, things we have done, self-centred attitudes – sin. God is fair, and there’s a price to pay for our past. He’s actually more than fair. He loves us. He won’t let us go our own way without trying everything to bring us back. So Jesus took the ultimate step. He gave his own life as the penalty for all we’ve done wrong. He died on a cross. That’s not the end of the story! If it was, Christianity would be pretty much the same as many other religions – a set of good principles sent by a distant god. But Jesus is still around. He came back to life three days later. He still wants you to turn away from whatever separates you from Him, and connect back to Him. For anyone who has the guts, or the desperation, to trust him with their lives, he offers the best gift ever: life with him beyond death and his presence in our lives right now. YPC exists to bring ordinary people, believers and unbelievers, back to Jesus. Do a course, buy a Bible, come to a church service, talk to someone. Get connected back to God. |
