I WAS BLIND, BUT NOW I SEE

Never did a man speak as this man, and no one ever, will. When the multitudes heard Jesus, they were amazed at His teaching for He taught as one having authority and not as their scribes! Two millenia have passed and we are still in wonder and awe of Jesus. The apostle John wrote, "Those things are written that you may believe and believing have life in His name.” (John 20:31)

The words of Jesus are timeless and life changing, when Jesus spoke, lives were transformed forever. Jesus tells us, “I am the way, the truth and life, no man comes to the Father but through me" (John 14:6). He also taught, “I came into this world so that those who do not see may see.” (John 9:39). Putting our trust in Jesus according to His word, our eyes are opened and we begin to see what others do not see, our steps in life are altered and we begin to live in ways others can only imagine and enjoy things others can only dream about. Living this “way” in Jesus is real and is evident in the everyday life for His disciples.

Jesus invites everyone to come to Him. He said, “Come unto me all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me for I am gentle and lowly in heart and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30)

Whether you are just beginning to seek His word or have been a disciple for many years, God's word provides all we need for life and godliness through faith in Jesus Chris. We would count it a great joy and blessing if you united with us and learned y is the way, truth, and life of the world's only the Savior, Jesus Christ.
