Jesus loves you so much.

Matthew 13:45-46 "....the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant, seeking beautiful pearls, who
when he had found one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it."


Why is this story in the Bible? How is this example like "the kingdom of heaven?" The secret
is knowing the identity of the players in the story! The merchant is Jesus Christ! Jesus became
a man, gave up everything He had, offered Himself as payment! But what is it that has such
great importance to Him? What does the pearl represent...?


You are the pearl! Jesus died on the cross, He surrendered Himself--for you! Did you know
that your salvation was bought at a great price? This is just how valuable you are to God!


Don't let anyone make you feel that you are worthless. Jesus gave up everything for you. He
sacrificed Himself for you! This is just how priceless you are to Him! God gave up His only
Son so that " whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life." [John
3:16] This is how much He loves you! He surrendered everything for the price of your soul.
He asks us to surrender ourselves completely to Him. He has paid the price for your
salvation! The work is done!

If you would like Jesus to be your Savior, you can pray something like this:


Lord Jesus, I am a sinner. But I believe that you died on the cross for me. That you shed
your precious blood for the forgiveness of my sin. And I believe that on the third day you
rose into heaven to prepare a place for me. I accept you now as my Savior, my Lord, my friend
Come into my heart Lord Jesus, and set me free. Help me to live a life that is pleasing to you.

And, because you are my Savior,
Jesus, I "shall not die, but have everlasting life."

Thank you Jesus!

Here are three things you can do to learn and grow in your relationship with the Lord:

· Pray -- you talk to God.

· Read your Bible -- God talks to you.

( A suggestion is to read the books of John,1 John, Acts, Romans,

and then the rest of the New Testament, starting at Matthew.)

· Witness -- tell other people about Him.

Another thing that will help you is to find somewhere where you can fellowship, pray,

and learn more about Him with other Christians.

Oh how He loves you and me,

Oh how He loves you and me.

He gave His life,

What more could He give?

Oh how He loves you,

Oh how He loves me,

Oh how He loves you and me!

I would love to hear about your decision to take Jesus as your Savior,
and/or answer any questions you may have. I don't know everything,
but I will do my best to find out if there is something I don't know.
You may leave a message in the guest book if you would like.
