After Jesus resurrected from death,
He appeared to multitudes of people to prove His resurrection. Everything He ever said was true – including
His resurrection from the dead. His time on earth was then done and it was
time for him to ascend back to Heaven to sit at the right hand of God the
Father. Before ascending back to Heaven,
Jesus instructed His followers to teach all the world His gospel. After we are born again, as we discussed
last week, our responsibility is to spread the gospel as Jesus commanded. We are to spread the gospel to all those in
the world – and we start right here in our own neighborhoods. So how do we do that? We tell others about everything we have
learned about thus far in Sparks - how Jesus came to the earth, a perfect
sacrifice for the penalty of our sin, how He rose again, and thus is our Savior
as he saves us from the sure punishment of our sins. This
enables others to believe and understand that Jesus is the Way, the Truth and
the Life, and thus believe on Him and have eternal life. John 3:16 our Sparkie key verse is an easy
verse to share that wraps up the gospel in just a few words – these are God’s words
to us. God’s Word is the Bible and that
is where we should point others to reading the gospel and hearing it from
us.
This is our last Sparks regular
meeting for the year. Next Wednesday is
the AWANA Banquet where each club participant will be recognized. This is for parents, grandparents and whoever
else might want to come! A yummy meal
will be provided for you.
It has been a joy to have your
Sparkie in club! You can check out the
AWANA program at www.fbc.littletonil.org.
