--NEED A SECOND CHANCE?

--Is there really a second chance?
And is it in this life...or after this life?

One of the top magazines featured an article on the word "if"...all the speculation of man about his own life. I read it with fascination. If I hadn't blown that opportunity...if I weren't married...if there weren't children...if I didn't have a mortgage I couldn't handle...if I had just chosen a different career...if I had started out a lot younger..if..if there's such a thing as a second chance.

And then, believe it or not, I found the other Name for Jesus is 'second chance'. It's at the Cross that the past is washed away...that we're forgiven...that a whole new life becomes available with opportunities we never dreamed of. That's what I found.

So it wasn't really shocking to me when the man came and pleaded with God, "I've committed adultery. I've committed murder. I've made you, God, the laughing stock of the entire nation. Is there such a thing as a second chance for me?"

His name was David. He was the King of Israel, and God had put him on the throne. And believe it or not, God described that same man as--a man after My own heart. He gave him a second chance. He gave me a second chance. And friend, no matter what wrongs you have committed in this life, if you ask Him, ...Jesus will give you a second chance.
"Jesus came to save sinners, of whom I am chief," said Paul.

Jesus is our Redeemer. He paid our sin-debt by dying on that Cross. 'Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin." He did it for you. And He did it for 'all' that will come to Him, and confess their need of him as their Savior, Lord, and Redeemer. Come, come today...we are not promised a tomorrow.
