The Beauty of Jesus
Today I’d like to introduce you to my best friend. His name is Jesus and He can help you more than anyone you will ever know. God is my friend’s father. Jesus was with God before the world came into being and was a partner in the creation. Later there was a time when everyone had forgotten God. They were ignorant of Him and the loving relationship He wanted to have with His people. They thought they could do everything alone and they rejected God’s guidance. And so, because the world was in such a mess, God sent His son Jesus to live as a person on earth just like you and me. Jesus knew what it was like to be cold and hungry, to work hard, to have friends and enemies, to be loved and to be rejected. He knew poverty and suffering as a young man in a suppressed nation, and yet, he willingly spent his life as a servant although his father was God of the universe. Jesus fed the hungry, gave sight to the blind, and made the lame able to walk. He healed people who had the dreadful disease of leprosy which made them outcasts because others were afraid of them. As the Great Physician he healed not only physical diseases, but he also came to bring peace to those who had social disputes and told people to replace their hate with love. His most earnest desire was to show a more satisfying way of life which put emphasis more on people than on collecting things. My friends, the love Jesus had for me was so special, so strong, that my best friend was willing to give up his life for my acts of wrong. God wants us to be able to live with him throughout eternity, but God is holy and cannot live where sin is present. You see, sin must be punished or forgiven. And because Jesus is the only man who lived and truly did no wrong, he went to the cross and paid the penalty necessary to forgive our sins. The cross in Jesus’ day was not only a very painful instrument of death; it was also connected with shame and the worst of worst criminals. Therefore, Jesus, the Son of God, a pure, innocent man full of love, goodness, and compassion came to earth, lived a life of a physician and teacher, died the death of a criminal in order that I could be forgiven of my sins, and go to live with God forever in a place where there is no suffering, no crime, no violence, no prejudice-only that which is good. What a wonderful friend I have in Jesus! While I am here on earth I can be part of the church which has been described as the earthly body of Jesus. Through that church I can find an extended family. Within that family I can love and be loved, help and be helped, serve and be served. God wants me to live with Him forever. It is so comforting to know He listens to me when I talk to Him. It is so wonderful to read His Word and get to know Him better and better as I read about the life of Jesus and what He wants for my life. What a wonderful Saviour! He loves and blesses me so much and will do the same for you if you want to be His friend! Thank you for allowing me to introduce you to Jesus. I’m certain of one thing: each of us needs this wonderful Saviour. I do. You do. The words of the Hymn, “He Is My Everything” mean a great deal to me. I sincerely hope they’ll mean the same for you; "Some folks may ask me, Some folks may say, Who is this Jesus you talk about every day? He is my Saviour; He set me free. Now listen while I tell you what He means to me.” He is my everything! He is my all; He is my everything! Both great and small. He gave His life for me, Made everything new; He is my everything! Now, how about you?” My friend, if you would like to know more about Jesus, I’d be happy to send to you a small booklet titled “Who is this Jesus?” It won’t cost you anything, but it might enable you to enjoy a powerful and personal relationship with my best friend, who also loved you enough to die for you in order that you might experience freedom and peace of mind. If you would like a copy of the booklet I’m offering, Email me or write to me at P.O Box 1540, Albany W.A 6331. Telephone / Fax (08) 98 418 418

The Beauty of Jesus

Today I’d like to introduce you to my best friend. His name is Jesus and He can help you more than anyone you will ever know.

God is my friend’s father. Jesus was with God before the world came into being and was a partner in the creation. Later there was a time when everyone had forgotten God. They were ignorant of Him and the loving relationship He wanted to have with His people. They thought they could do everything alone and they rejected God’s guidance.

And so, because the world was in such a mess, God sent His son Jesus to live as a person on earth just like you and me. Jesus knew what it was like to be cold and hungry, to work hard, to have friends and enemies, to be loved and to be rejected. He knew poverty and suffering as a young man in a suppressed nation, and yet, he willingly spent his life as a servant although his father was God of the universe.

Jesus fed the hungry, gave sight to the blind, and made the lame able to walk. He healed people who had the dreadful disease of leprosy which made them outcasts because others were afraid of them. As the Great Physician he healed not only physical diseases, but he also came to bring peace to those who had social disputes and told people to replace their hate with love. His most earnest desire was to show a more satisfying way of life which put emphasis more on people than on collecting things.

My friends, the love Jesus had for me was so special, so strong, that my best friend was willing to give up his life for my acts of wrong. God wants us to be able to live with him throughout eternity, but God is holy and cannot live where sin is present. You see, sin must be punished or forgiven. And because Jesus is the only man who lived and truly did no wrong, he went to the cross and paid the penalty necessary to forgive our sins.

The cross in Jesus’ day was not only a very painful instrument of death; it was also connected with shame and the worst of worst criminals. Therefore, Jesus, the Son of God, a pure, innocent man full of love, goodness, and compassion came to earth, lived a life of a physician and teacher, died the death of a criminal in order that I could be forgiven of my sins, and go to live with God forever in a place where there is no suffering, no crime, no violence, no prejudice-only that which is good.

What a wonderful friend I have in Jesus! While I am here on earth I can be part of the church which has been described as the earthly body of Jesus. Through that church I can find an extended family. Within that family I can love and be loved, help and be helped, serve and be served.

What a wonderful Saviour! He loves and blesses me so much and will do the same for you if you want to be His friend!

Thank you for allowing me to introduce you to Jesus. I’m certain of one thing: each of us needs this wonderful Saviour. I do. You do.

The words of the Hymn, “He Is My Everything” mean a great deal to me. I sincerely hope they’ll mean the same for you;

"Some folks may ask me, Some folks may say,
Who is this Jesus you talk about every day?
He is my Saviour; He set me free.
Now listen while I tell you what He means to me.”

He is my everything! He is my all;
He is my everything! Both great and small.
He gave His life for me, Made everything new;
He is my everything! Now, how about you?”

My friend, if you would like to know more about Jesus, I’d be happy to send to you a small booklet titled “Who is this Jesus?” It won’t cost you anything, but it might enable you to enjoy a powerful and personal relationship with my best friend, who also loved you enough to die for you in order that you might experience freedom and peace of mind.
