The most important message in the universe
One-thousand, nine-hundred, and seventy-one years ago, or there just about, a man named John was walking and talking with another man named Jesus. John followed Jesus with eleven other men for three years of his life. John, and most of the others, knew that Jesus was the one who had been prophesied about throughout the history of the Jewish people. They knew that this man, 'the Christ', was the one from God to bring salvation to God's people. Jesus accomplished what he meant to do. Roman authorities executed Jesus by the way of crucifixion for severely offending Jewish religious leaders. Jesus was found guilty, in their eyes,Jn. 9:39 of 'blasphemy'--punishable by death--because he identified himself as the Son of God, making himself equal with God.Jn. 5:18 On the third day that he laid dead, Jesus rose again.John was one of many to first preach the gospel, or 'good news', of Jesus Christ crucified and risen. John was one of just a few to be inspired by God to write about Jesus and remember what he said so that you and I might hear the good news as well.Jn. 20:31 In what we now call the 11th chapter and 25th & 26th verses of his gospel, John wrote:
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”The most important message in the universe is the good news of Jesus Christ.
