Hebrews 13: 8 says, �Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.�
One day Jesus sat down with a woman at a well. You will find the account of this meeting in John chapter 4. This woman was a Samaritan - she was of a different cultural background and religious persuasion to Jesus.
This woman was quite happy to discuss the peculiarities of their different religions with Jesus, but Jesus was more interested in where her heart was at - He was more intent on introducing her to the reality of a RELATIONSHIP with God, than on debating the merits of religious observance.
Jesus saw beyond her religious mask, and spoke directly into her life - He spoke words that revealed to her that he could see beyond her outward show of religiosity, and see right into her heart.
She realised she was standing in the presence of the Saviour of the world - who knew everything she had ever done, and yet still didn�t condemn her!
She ran excitedly into her home town, and through her testimony many of her fellow Samaritans believed in Jesus and came into personal relationship with God.
THAT WAS YESTERDAY - WHAT ABOUT TODAY?
Today, this same Jesus doesn�t want to talk religion with you. He sees beyond every religious mask and invites people to come and experience His forgiveness for everything they�ve ever done, regardless of what that may be.
He wants you to experience a personal relationship with Him, where there is no condemnation, and where you enjoy the excitement and blessing of a new life.
Have a talk with Jesus today!
GOD BLESS YOU!
