He is God, He is man. Now people want to know, why did He come here? What's Christmas and Easter all about?

The fact is, we are a rebel planet. The One Who created the Earth laid down specific regulations for its caretakers. All those regulations have been broken repeatedly.

The Creator could either wipe everyone out and start over, as He did in the days of Noah, justly, by the way, or He could find a way to save at least some, through the process of forgiveness and redemption.

Someone could come and pay the price, the price of blood. Someone could die in your place, take the death that you deserved, bear the shame that you caused the Father.

This Someone would have to love you a whole lot. He'd have to be a perfect sacrifice, for the Father only accepts perfect sacrifices. And after He died, since He is perfect and God, God would have to find a way to raise Him from the dead, and defeat not only sin, but death.

It would have to be the very Son of God, Jesus Himself. This plan was thought out before the world began. God knew we would blow it. But God knew that if forgiveness were offered, some would accept it.

God has the very names of those accepting people recorded in Heaven. They are the ones who hear the good news of Jesus, are touched deeply by it, accept Him, are baptized, are filled with His Spirit.

It is good news, you know. You sinned and deserved to die and be judged forever. You do not deserve Heaven, none of you!

And Jesus did not deserve the Cross at Calvary. He died in your place because he loved you. Can you hear His voice today?

5. He can be your Savior today.

The Bible says that all are sinners and that sin produces death.

The Bible says that whoever calls on the Name of the Lord will be saved from sin and eternal death.

The Bible says that if we confess with our mouth and believe in our heart that Jesus has been raised from the dead, we will be saved.

The Bible says that he who believes and is baptized will be saved, but that he who does not believe will be damned.

Can you hear God's Voice calling you to Himself? That simply means, do you desire to know Him and live with Him forever?

If so, tell Him you agree with Him that you have done many bad things, and that you are sorry for those things.

Thank Him for the opportunity you now have to believe in this Jesus Who was crucified for your sins, but also raised for your salvation.

Ask Jesus to forgive you, cleanse you, save you.
