FAITH
John 20:8

What did John SEE?
What did he BELIEVE?
What did that DO?

What did John SEE?
What did he BELIEVE?
What did that DO?

Why does Mary go out so EARLY?

What did John SEE?

An empty tomb
Discarded grave clothes
NO BODY

What did John BELIEVE?

Jesus had RISEN
He really was the Messiah!

What did that DO?

It permanently cemented John’s devotion to Jesus.

Do you believe that Jesus rose from the dead?

Have you had a “moment” with Jesus where your faith was awakened and set free?

Actual faith acts on what you claim to believe.

Jesus didn't come into our world, endure ridicule, rejection and ultimately a massacre on the cross, simply for people to agree that there is a God and Jesus is His divine Son.

Jesus came that we might believe in Him to the degree that we place the eternal fate of our soul (both present & future) into Jesus’ competent, compassionate hands.

The testimony of Scripture, lives changed by Jesus, the unity of God's people and our love for one another are some of the most compelling witnesses today that entrusting the fate of your soul to Jesus is the best decision you could ever make.
