The great news in the ancient book is that God made a way that people could return to knowing the goodness and love of God, the way He originally intended.

The only way He could do this was by coming to earth HIMSELF in the form of a man. This meant that  he could show mankind His love and make a way for man to be as He originally created him to be.
There are many stories in the ancient book which lead up to  God coming to earth in the form of man. Supernatural stories of people who trusted in God and were friends with God.
God so loved the world that He came in bodily form as Jesus.

The fact that a man named Jesus lived on earth and did many amazing miracles has been shown to be true through historical accounts of the time. This is not a fairy story! The ancient book is full of stories of how God through Jesus showed His love and kindness towards humanity. Jesus showed us what God's 'world', His Kingdom is like. It might surprise you......

The only way the mess of the world could get sorted, was through Jesus showing the better way, winning over mistrust, death and destruction.  Jesus' acts of love, humility and obedience to his Father in heaven showed us the true way to a world where there can be healing and forgiveness.
It was a hard way and it cost him everything. Jesus - son of God, died a painful death, he was perfect but took on our messiness and imperfectness. He gave up his life because he loved us.

He lived a supernatural life - to show us that we could
He died a supernatural death -  to show us that we could

The most amazing thing happened. Although Jesus was well and truly dead. He had been buried in a tomb with a large stone rolled over the doorway to close it off, the ancient book tells us that he rose from the dead.

 One minute version of what happened. 

Jesus showed that even death can be overcome when we trust in God and His love. The ancient book tells us that all we have to do is say sorry for the mess. People call this 'sin'. Anything that has fallen short of God's best for us is sin or mess. Believing God sent his son Jesus and saying sorry for the mess through a simple prayer is all it takes to be free from mess. Trusting that through Jesus we can become new creations, 'born' again into God's Kingdom leads us into a whole new world......

Are you ready to JUMP into God's Kingdom?
