Jesus Said That

"I HAVE TO THINK about that...." This notable response from Tyler, one of my grandsons, encouraged me to think more about the word that. I had asked Tyler, "What's your favorite Bible verse that shares something that Jesus said?" If someone had unexpectedly asked me my own question, I would also have likely needed time to think.

Reassuring words that Jesus Christ said, recorded in John 3:17, that God did not send Him, Jesus to condemn us, but to save those who believe in Him, comfort me. Believing in Jesus and trusting His Words frees and enlivens us. Tyler's response encouraged me to complete Jesus Said That.... I pray this book, which correlates Words Jesus said (in English, عربى & Espa ola) with diverse traffic signs will encourage readers to not only read but also heed them--and get to know Him. Thinking about the fact Jesus came so we may have eternal life; that we may know Him, amazes me. The good news that Jesus, God's only begotten Son, died on the cross to free us from the penalty of sin; to secure eternal life for those who "believe in Him" amazes me. The fact that He lives today and calls us to trust Him; to be "born again;" to have a personal relationship with Him amazes me.

Our new birth brings us into the family that calls God, "Father." Even though Jesus no longer physically lives with us on this side of Heaven, He did not abandon us when He returned to His Heavenly home. Just as Jesus promised (recorded in John 14), He sent the Holy Spirit to comfort and guide those who believe in Him. He left us His Words. Jesus, "the Way, the Truth and the Life," gives eternal life... to "whosoever" believes in Him.
