For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is
the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes--the Jew first and also
the Gentile. Romans 1:16
Memory Verse of the Week: For God loved
the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who

I am not ashamed. Let me tell you about this
Good News. Jesus is my Savior. He came
from heaven to earth to be the ultimate sacrifice for the sins of all mankind.
He died on a cross—as that sacrificial lamb. It was a Jewish custom for lambs
and other animals to be sacrificed for the people’s sin. Jesus gave His life
for the sins of all men and women, Jews and Gentiles. The world—all people
throughout history. Jesus was obedient to His Father in becoming that
sacrifice. It was God’s plan for mankind to be forgiven for the sin that came
into the world when Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden fruit in the Garden of
Eden. No one with sin in their life can be in God’s presence…so God initiated
this plan to purify mankind…and Jesus is the ultimate sacrifice.
He is the one all the prophets
testified about, saying that everyone who believes in him will have their sins
forgiven through his name." Acts 10:43
That is it…the
Good News. Jesus is the Savior…He takes away the sin of the world—yours and mine.
As believers in Jesus Christ we can now stand holy and blameless before God the
Father. Do you believe?
Prayer ~ Lord Jesus, I am in awe of You--as Creator, as Servant,
as Friend, as Sacrifice, as my Lord and God. I am not ashamed to tell the world
that You are my Savior—You are the Good News.
