John 3:16-17
God Sent His Son to Save Us from Our Sins
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
John 17:3
Now This is Eternal Life
3 Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
John 21:24-25
John Was an Eyewitness to Jesus and Wrote About His Testimony
24 This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true.
25 Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.
Matthew 11:27-30
Jesus Gives Peace to the Weary
27 “All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
The Disciples were eyewitnesses to the amazing things that Jesus did...St. John and St. Matthew wrote about Jesus and some of the things that He did...They would have good times and they would have bad times and days...Jesus told them they would have troubles...
Do you honestly believe that God LOVES you, because St. John writes that He does?...Do you believe that God LOVES you and He, in fact, did send His Son to save you from your sins, because St. John tells us that?...Do you believe that you will have eternal life, because St. John writes that if we know God and His Son then we will have eternal life with them?...
St. John wrote these things so that we might believe in Jesus as He did...St. John was an eyewitness to His Majesty...St. John was one of the Twelve Original Disciples who wrote and testified to the things that Jesus did...Can Jesus bring a different kind of peace than this world brings?...St. Matthew writes about Jesus and a peace that He brings to us, when we believe in Him...
If you believe and answer yes to these questions, you will feel and know a peace that He can bring, while still knowing that this life can be burdened and a weary-suffering place...Jesus is humble in heart...If we take His yoke and learn from Him we will find rest for our souls...You will find and experience a tenderness and compassion that is about Grace...
And although Jesus promises a peace that only He has, being on earth we will have troubles and problems and still be burdened...We must look to Him for our peace, that only He can bring us through these times of troubles...
