The Greatest Ever

“You are to  call him Jesus.  He will be great and called the Son of the Most High God.” (Luke 1: 31-32)

Some may serve various gods but we’re invited to live with the greatest of all, the Son of the Most High God.

Loved and Protected

“How often I have longed to wrap my arms around you in love, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you would not let me.” (Matthew 23: 37)

God offers his loving embrace and protection but you must accept it.

Exalted

“Those who exalt themselves will be humbled, but those who humble themselves before God will be exalted by Him.” (Matthew 23: 12).

Those who bow before God will be made great before men.

Chosen

“All are invited but only a few are chosen.” (Matthew 22: 14)

Everyone is invited to the kingdom but only those who chose it enter.

Free at Last

“Jesus said, ‘I did not come to be served but to serve others and to give my life to set many free.” (Matthew 20: 28)

In Jesus, we are set free from the past and given a new life for the future.

Accepted into God’s Kingdom

“Jesus said, ‘Let the children come to me.  Don’t stop them.  For the kingdom of heaven belongs to those who have faith like these children.'” (Matthew 19: 14)

When you come in child like faith Jesus offers you to be part of his kingdom.

God’s Child Forever

“Your Father in heaven will not lose even one of his dear little children.” (Matthew 18: 14)

Once you are God’s child you will always be his child, forever.

Angels Watching Over You

“Don’t look down on any of my dear children.  For I assure you their personal angels always have the attention of my Father in heaven.”  (Matthew 18: 10)

As God’s child your personal angels are always watching over you.

Greatest in the Kingdom

“And Jesus said, ‘Unless you change your attitude to one like a little child you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven.  But whoever trusts like a little child will be the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.” (Matthew 18: 3-4)

The proud reject God’s kingdom.  The humble accept it and will be the greatest in it.

Life Forever

“Jesus told his disciples, ‘The Son of Man will be betrayed and killed by those who hate him.  But on the third day he will be raised to life.'” (Matthew 17: 22-23)

As Jesus died and, by God’s power, was raised to life so are those who trust in him.
