What Jesus says...

The world says: You need to escape reality for a while. Jesus says: Give me your burdens, and I will give you real rest and real freedom. The world says: You only live once, so make it count. Jesus says: I bought you with a price, and you are mine forever. The world says: Try harder, and figure it out. Jesus says: Your sins are forgiven. Follow me. The world says: You’re on your own.
