TWO LIFE-CHANGING LESSON   

1.  JESUS BRINGS HOPE IN LIFE.

“..A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy. I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of.” John 10:10 (Mess)

Pillar: Significance is found in living for the glory of God.

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you.” Matthew 6:33 (CSB)

 2.    JESUS BRINGS HOPE IN DEATH.

“He has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began. This has now been made evident through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who has abolished death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.” II Timothy 1:9-10 (CSB)

Pillar: Security is found through faith in Jesus.

“’Yes, Lord,’ she told him, ‘I believe you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who comes into the world.’” John 11:27 (CSB)

“Truly I tell you, anyone who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not come under judgment but has passed from death to life.”  John 5:24 (CSB)
