JOHN 3:16

 No baptism

No communion


No confirmation

No speaking in tongues

No mission trip

No volunteering

No financial gifts

No church clothes


He couldn’t even bend his knees to pray. He didn’t say the sinner’s prayer and among other things, he was a criminal and he was worthy of death.


Jesus didn’t take way his pain, heal his body, or smite his scoffers. 


He was a thief who walked into paradise the same hour as Jesus simply by believing. 


He had nothing more to offer other than his belief that Jesus was who He said He was. 


No spin from brilliant theologians. 

No ego or arrogance. 

No shiny lights, skinny jeans, or crafty words. 

No haze machine, donuts, or coffee in the lobby. 


Just a naked dying man on a cross unable to even fold his hands to pray.


For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son so that WHOEVER believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life.

                    - John 3:16 


Because …….  THAT IS ENOUGH !!
