---CREATION/ CHRIST ASCENDED, HE'S ALIVE TODAY!

--Is Jesus Coming Back? Did He Die So That Sinners, Saved by Grace, Can Live?

--Yes and Amen! To both of those questions! Jesus came to this sinful world to die so that we, who choose to follow Him, can be saved by His Grace. The Choice is up to YOU. Do You surrender to Him? He loves you more than any person on this earth ever could? His death on the Cross was agonizingly painful, utterly humiliating (as Jesus took the sins of the entire world upon His shoulders, nailing them to the Cross), but necessary to win back what Satan took from humankind in the Garden of Eden. From eternal life, we fell to SIN! "Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin." It took a pure, sinless, perfect sacrifice for us to be allowed into the Kingdom of God. AND JESUS PAID THAT PRICE! Hallelujah!

-CHAD Pennington is a former American football player who has suffered multiple career-threatening injuries. Twice, his injuries forced him to endure surgery, months of physical therapy, and weeks of training to get back onto the field. Yet, both times he not only returned to playing but he also excelled at such a high level that he was named 'Comeback Player of the Year' in the National Football League. For Pennington, his efforts were an expression of his determination to return to football.

Spiritually, when sin and failure break our relationship with God and sideline our service, determination alone is not what restores us to rightness with God and usefulness in His Kingdom. When we are sidelined because of sin, the path to a comeback is confession as well. "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9).

To recover from our spiritual failings, we are dependent on the One who gave Himself for us, our Creator Jesus Christ. And that gives us 'HOPE'. Christ, who died for us, loves us with an everlasting love and will respond with grace as we confess our faults to Him. Through confession, we can find His gracious restoration--the greatest of all comebacks.~~
