This morning's Bible passage is…
These are the words Jesus spoke to his disciples the night before he was crucified… after the Last Supper.

…These are words he spoke with all his heart, knowing he was going to die, so that his disciples could live with hope even after he was gone.

…There are many ways to encounter Jesus.

A friend invited you to church.

People who came to church during difficult times or illness.

It's not by chance or coincidence.

Ephesians 1:4
…"Before God made the world, he chose us for himself."
…it says❗️
You were chosen long ago😳💦
…The fact that you were chosen by the Lord is the foundation of faith.

The Lord chose you, and faith was given to you.

How grateful we should be!

It is so that you may find happiness through yourself,
and so that you may share Jesus' happiness with others,
that you were chosen first!
...We are...imperfect beings 😥
We make mistakes and errors 😰
Jesus' cross ✝️ was...
"Father, forgive them..."
...😢
...Let us always repent to God
and return immediately!
Shalom 😃
