06/19 John 1:12-14
But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. 13 They are reborn! This is not a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan — this rebirth comes from God. 14 So the Word became human and lived here on earth among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the only Son of the Father.
GOD
When you have seen Jesus you have seen God. He and the Father are one. We are limited in our ability to comprehend God therefore He came in the flesh so that we might see Him and know Him. Jesus is Lord.

06/17 John 1:6-9
God sent John the Baptist 7 to tell everyone about the light so that everyone might believe because of his testimony. 8 John himself was not the light; he was only a witness to the light. 9 The one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was going to come into the world.
JESUS
Jesus is the true light and He has come into our world. He is calling you to Himself. He is looking for you. Let Jesus have your heart, let Him into your life, ask Him for forgiveness. He will if you ask.

The light shines through the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.
DARKNESS
Light is a positive thing. Darkness is not positive; it is simply the absence of light. A single candle in the darkness can be seen for several miles. You cannot see in darkness. Jesus is the light and He shines into the darkness that is our life before Christ. Jesus is Lord.

06/13 Luke 24:47-49
With my authority, take this message of repentance to all the nations, beginning in Jerusalem: ‘There is forgiveness of sins for all who turn to me.’ 48 You are witnesses of all these things. 49 “And now I will send the Holy Spirit, just as my Father promised. But stay here in the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven.”
CHANGE
We are to call the world to change. We do that with our life, with friendships and at some point we must tell them about Jesus. Campus Crusade created a program called the 4 Spiritual Laws. This are a good witnessing program to know but the most important thing to know is that you can share what Jesus is doing in your life and the simple message of vs. 47-Jesus loves you and there is forgiveness available for you and you can claim a relationship with Him.

THINK
Think about your relationship with Jesus. Does He fill you with courage and confidence? He will-spend time with Him. Do you take your real problems to Him? That is what only He can heal. Talk with Jesus and tell Him everything about your life. He already knows but it is important that you know and rehearsing what we are facing helps us to get on the right track in our daily life.
06/10 Luke 24:39-40
Look at my hands. Look at my feet. You can see that it’s really me. Touch me and make sure that I am not a ghost, because ghosts don’t have bodies, as you see that I do!” 40 As he spoke, he held out his hands for them to see, and he showed them his feet.
REAL
JESUS is real. He isn’t something some folks 2,000 years ago made up. He is the risen Lord, Creator of all things and the One who came looking for you. Jesus is Lord and He will forgive your sin and bring you into the family of God.
