The Gospel brings hope to sinful man. God has provided salvation for mankind through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Our sins have carried us far away from God’s holy presence but there is forgiveness for mankind and we see God’s love at Calvary’s cross.
Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation
Matthew 22:1-14 “22 And Jesus answering spoke to them again in parables, saying,2 The kingdom of the heavens has become like a king who made a wedding feast for his son,3 and sent his bondmen to call the persons invited to the wedding feast, and they would not come.4 Again he sent other bondmen, saying, Say to the persons invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fatted beasts are killed, and all things ready; come to the wedding feast.
5 But they made light of it, and went, one to his own land, and another to his commerce.6 And the rest, laying hold of his bondmen, ill-treated and slew [them].7 And [when] the king [heard of it he] was wroth, and having sent his forces, destroyed those murderers and burned their city.8 Then he says to his bondmen, The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy;9 go therefore into the thoroughfares of the highways, and as many as ye shall find invite to the wedding feast.10 And those bondmen went out into the highways, and brought together all as many as they found, both evil and good; and the wedding feast was furnished with guests.
11 And the king, having gone in to see the guests, beheld there a man not clothed with a wedding garment.12 And he says to him, [My] friend, how camest thou in here not having on a wedding garment? But he was speechless.13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him feet and hands, and take him away, and cast him out into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.14 For many are called ones, but few chosen ones.”
Luke 15:20-32 “20 And he rose up and went to his own father. But while he was yet a long way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell upon his neck, and covered him with kisses.21 And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee; I am no longer worthy to be called thy son.
22 But the father said to his bondmen, Bring out the best robe and clothe him in [it], and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet;23 and bring the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry:24 for this my son was dead and has come to life, was lost and has been found. And they began to make merry.25 And his elder son was in the field; and as, coming [up], he drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 And having called one of the servants, he inquired what these things might be.27 And he said to him, Thy brother is come, and thy father has killed the fatted calf because he has received him safe and well.28 But he became angry and would not go in. And his father went out and besought him.29 But he answering said to his father, Behold, so many years I serve thee, and never have I transgressed a commandment of thine; and to me hast thou never given a kid that I might make merry with my friends:
30 but when this thy son, who has devoured thy substance with harlots, is come, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.31 But he said to him, Child, *thou* art ever with me, and all that is mine is thine.32 But it was right to make merry and rejoice, because this thy brother was dead and has come to life again, and was lost and has been found.”
John 14:6 “6 Jesus says to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father unless by me.”
