These powerful words remind us of Christ’s unparalleled sacrifice. Through His death on the cross, Jesus bore the full penalty for our sins, giving us complete forgiveness and freedom.
Romans 5:8 states:
Because Jesus paid it all, we receive grace, mercy, and new life. Let us live with gratitude, fully trusting in His finished work and sharing this incredible gift with others.
As we near resurrection Sunday, I invite you to join me in praying that many will come to Jesus and accept Him as their Lord and Savior. If you know someone who is without Christ, I encourage you to pray and ask God to open a door for you to share the following Gospel presentation.
If you are reading this and have never surrendered your life to Jesus, meaning that you have never asked Him into your life as your Savior and Lord, then I pray you spend time reading the following Scriptures and then invite Jesus into your life.
Perhaps you are a follower of Jesus but have never shared Jesus with anyone. In that case, the following can also be helpful to you as you pray for those in your circle who are without Christ and for an opportunity to share Jesus with others.

Sharing Jesus without fear is the greatest way to honor the Lord Jesus Christ.
While the information below is a quick summary of key points, I highly recommend reading the book Share Jesus Without Fear by William Fay. This book is a great tool to help you get started sharing your faith!
"Heavenly Father, I have sinned against you. I want forgiveness for all my sins. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for me and rose again. Father, I give you my life to do with as you wish. I want Jesus Christ to come into my life and into my heart. This I ask in Jesus' name. Amen"
If you have prayed this prayer and invited Jesus into your life, please email me at jay@jayjohnston.org so I can pray with and celebrate your decision with you. I love you and look forward to praying with you this week.
