from 1 John 3:16-18
Ad campaigns that promise more with the purchase of a product only to leave us wanting more, political campaigns that promise something new is coming only to see things remain the same.
In a world full of empty promises talk has become cheap.
Has the Good News of the Gospel of Christ and the hope of new life found in Him suffered the same fate? Has the claim lost its power? Has the promise been diluted to simply another option for a different kind of life?
You have something to say about it. The church has something to say about it. A life lived poured out on behalf of the world around it points to something worth living for and invites the world to encounter Jesus…the hope of something new.
