Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote -- Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
“Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael asked.
“Come and see,” said Philip.
“Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael asked.
“Come and see,” said Philip.
Here is the Gospel story boiled down to its simplest form:
Chapter 1: The Beginning
The Bible is true. The God of the Bible is the one, true, living God who created the universe and everything in it (yes, including us). Not just that, but God loves you and just wants to be with you.
Chapter 2: The Problem
In a word: sin. Our sin separates us from God. (NOTE: Our sin does not separate us from God's love, but from His presence.) And we are all sinners. Period.
Chapter 3: The Solution
In a better word: Jesus. He was God in the flesh. He was fully human and fully God. He came down to Earth to teach and show us God’s true will. He then died and rose to make it possible for us to be with Him!
Chapter 4: The Future
We respond. We accept the gift. From there, we begin an eternal relationship adventure, literally meant to become more and more like Him and truly experience life to the full in this life(!)...and then, Heaven!
