A LEAP OF FAITH














A LEAP OF FAITH


Do you TRUST Jesus?
I mean=Do you really
Trust him WITH YOUR LIFE?
He wants you
To have the ABUNDANT LIFE Like he did


Take a LEAP OF FAITH=
And put your life
IN his hands


“I came so
That they might have LIFE
And have it
More ABUNDANTLY” John 10:10


Jesus is speaking
To the PHARISEES
Who haven't been able
To understand him


The language of Jesus
Seems to be BEYOND
The Pharisees' grasp


But not yours and mine=RIGHT?
We have FAITH in him
We have faith
To TAKE that leap


“He replied=
'Because you have
So little FAITH


Truly I tell you
IF you have FAITH
As small
As a mustard seed


You can say
To this mountain
'Move from
Here to there'
And it will move


Nothing will be impossible
For you” Matthew 17:20


“When Jesus heard this
He was
Amazed at him


And turning to the crowd
Following him=he said


'I tell you
I have not found
Such great FAITH
Even in Israel'” Luke 7:9


Take a LEAP OF FAITH
Put your TOTAL LIFE
In the hands of Jesus


Those who KNOW Jesus
Understand that
An abundant life


Is LIVING a life
A lot like Jesus'


They ACCEPT
The gift of the
Abundant life
And WANT IT for all others


They are FAITHFUL FOLLOWERS
Of the Lord Jesus Christ


“Love the Lord
All his FAITHFUL PEOPLE!


The Lord preserves
Those who are
True to him


And the proud
He pays back
In full” Psalm 31:23


When we CHOOSE
The abundant life=
We chose to RESPECT
The life
Of every single person


And we FULLY FORGIVE
Those who have offended us


This LEAP OF FAITH calls
Us to BELIEVE in
The RESURRECTION so deeply


That we even ACCEPT suffering
And the MYSTERY OF IT


This LEAP OF FAITH
Carries us
From this life


To an ETERNAL LIFE
With the Lord Jesus
And his GIVING FATHER


In Jesus' name
