The world has its wisdom, its answers, and its ways—but none of them can bring us to God. The cross points us to the One who can: Jesus Christ. There is one God and one Mediator between God and man, Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all. The question is simple, but eternal: Are you ready to meet God?
No matter how far you have gone or how hopeless your situation may seem, God’s hand is not too short to save. There is hope, refuge, and a secure anchor for the soul in Jesus Christ. The question is not whether God can save—it is whether you will reach out and take hold of the hope He offers.
Jesus Christ came once, suffered once, and gave Himself once for all. His sacrifice was not temporary or incomplete—it was God’s perfect provision for sin. We all face death and judgment, but Jesus has made a way of salvation through His sacrifice. He was offered once to bear the sins of many. The work has been done. The sacrifice has been made. Jesus did it once for all. Have you trusted in Him?
From the world that was destroyed in Noah’s day, to the world we live in today, and finally to the new heavens and new earth where righteousness dwells—God’s Word shows us three worlds and three important lessons. The past shows us a world judged because of sin. The present shows us a world where God is still offering mercy and salvation. The future points us to a new heavens and a new earth where righteousness dwells.
Just as God provided the ark as a place of safety for Noah, He has provided salvation through Jesus Christ. The opportunity to repent and be saved is now—but this present world will not last forever.
Jesus Christ is the only Saviour. Have you repented and put your trust in Him? Don’t wait—come to Christ while there is still time.
Jesus came into the world, but many refused to receive Him. Yet John tells us that “as many as received him, to them gave he the right to be children of God. What does it mean to receive Jesus? Through the stories of Zacchaeus, Martha and Mary, and Simeon, we see different encounters with Jesus—and what happens when a person truly receives Him.
Who is worthy? Revelation 5 points us to the Lord Jesus Christ — the One who has overcome, the Lamb who was slain, and the One who has redeemed us by His blood. He is worthy not only because of what He has done, but because of who He is: “He is altogether lovely.”
But what should mark those who belong to Him while we wait for His return? Proverbs 31 presents the woman of worth — a picture that points us toward the Lamb’s wife and the character, faithfulness, wisdom and devotion that should mark the church. This Address turns our eyes to the worth of Christ and challenges us to live as those who belong to Him.
In the famous painting Checkmate, a young man appears to have nowhere to go. The game is almost over—but there is still one move he can make to escape checkmate. The Bible tells us that salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone. God has made the way of escape, but there is a response only you can make: repentance towards God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
There is one move you can make to be saved. The next move is yours.
The Gospel is not simply a message about religion, morality, or turning over a new leaf—it is a message about a Person: Jesus Christ. He who was rich became poor for our sake. He came to bring good news to the poor, liberty to the captives, sight to the blind, and freedom to those who are crushed. He gave Himself to redeem us from sin and make us His own.
In the Gospels, we see the transforming power of Jesus in the life of a man who was broken, bound and beyond human help. After encountering Christ, he was found sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind. His life had been changed, and he could not keep silent about what Jesus had done for him.
This is the heart of the Gospel: Jesus Christ came to save, to redeem, to restore and to transform. He is not only the theme of the Gospel—He is the Saviour the Gospel declares.
Come and hear the good news of Jesus Christ.
“Vancouver, Vancouver, this is it!” — the final words of David Johnston as Mount St. Helens erupted in 1980. The rescue mission could not save him. But God’s rescue mission has succeeded. Through Jesus Christ, God has made a way of escape from the coming wrath. The question is: Will you respond while the rescue is available? This Is It. Jesus is calling. Will you come?
