Meet Jesus

/in /by

It’s always an exciting experience to meet someone who is really famous, whether they’re a politician, a performer, or another public figure.

But there’s one man who is more important than any other person… and he’s ready and waiting to meet you.

That person is Jesus: the most famous person in history, and the one who is able to change your life in a way that nobody else can.

We meet Jesus by listening to his voice, which we hear as we encounter him in the words of the Bible, whether it’s read or heard.

When we’re willing to listen to what he says, and then to obey his words, we meet Jesus by his Holy Spirit, and can come to truly know him as our loving ruler.

The reason it’s so good for us to meet Jesus is that when we follow him, he promises to bring us forgiveness from the punishment we deserve for rebelling against God, and he brings us the hope of eternity as we experience true, deep friendship with our creator.

Over the next six weeks we’re going to be carefully studying these six special events in Jesus’ life, as recorded in the New Testament book of John:

  • Meet Jesus with the World (John 1:1-18)
  • Meet Jesus with the Religious (John 3:1-21)
  • Meet Jesus with the Outsider (John 4:4-42)
  • Meet Jesus with the Grieving (John 11:1-45)
  • Meet Jesus with the Powerful (John 18:28-19:22)
  • Meet Jesus with the Sceptics (John 20:1-31)

Each week at our 9am and 4pm Sunday church services, there will be a Bible talk that will help everyone meet Jesus.

If you’ve already met Jesus, then these six weeks will bring you closer to him, as you see more of who he is and how his life has changed your life.

If you’ve not yet met Jesus, then over the next six weeks you’ll be brought face-to-face with the man who created the universe and whose life offers the only, true way to find hope and forgiveness through his love and sacrifice, for you.
