Who Jesus Is: The Good Shepherd

Hello this is Pastor Chris.

Salvation Connection is here to walk with you as you make the most important decision of your life—inviting Jesus Christ into your heart as Lord and Savior. These messages are meant to lovingly guide you through the questions and uncertainties that many people have about Him.

Who is Jesus Christ? And who Jesus Christ is. In this session we will look at: Who Jesus Is: The Good Shepherd

Jesus called Himself the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep. Sheep are vulnerable, defenseless, and prone to wander. Without a shepherd, they are lost.

That’s a picture of us. We wander. We get lost in sin, in selfishness, in chasing what never satisfies. We go our own way, and it leaves us empty. But the Good Shepherd doesn’t abandon His sheep—He comes looking. He knows us by name. He protects, provides, and ultimately gave His life on the cross.

Why did He have to die? Because sin left us helpless, and only His sacrifice could bring us back. The Shepherd laid down His life so His sheep could live. That’s not duty—that’s love.

Maybe you feel like you’ve wandered too far, like you could never find your way back. Friend, the Good Shepherd has not forgotten you. He is calling you, ready to forgive you, ready to lead you home.

Today, you can stop wandering. You can belong to Him. He offers to lead you, protect you, and give you eternal life.

SINNER’S PRAYER
If you’ve never trusted Christ, pray from your heart:

Dear Lord, I am a sinner, and I need a Savior.  

I am sorry for my sins, and I repent.  Pause

I believe You died on the Cross for my sins and rose again. Pause

I ask you to come into my heart right now and be my Lord and Savior.  Pause

I know from this point moving forward I will have eternal life in you.  Pause

Please order my steps and help me to live in such a way that brings honor and glory to Your Name Pause

Thank you, Jesus, for your gift of salvation. 

If you prayed that prayer and believe it in your heart, God’s Word says you are saved—not because of what you’ve done, but because of who Jesus is and what He has done for you.

The prayer does not save you; it is your faith now being placed in Jesus Christ as your Savior and what he did on the Cross that saves you.

God's love and his grace is being freely given to you and know that you are a new creation.

Second Corinthians 5:17 tells us that the old is gone and all things are new.

So don't walk in your old ways, begin a new walk in the ways of Christ.

Find a good bible and begin to read God’s Word, start praying and be sensitive to how the Holy Spirit speaks to you.

Join a local church that teaches the inerrant word of God and use the gifts and talents he has given you for his glory and the benefit of others.

I pray that your walk with our Lord and Savior may be full, and you especially enjoy His moments in your life.

May God bless you

Who Jesus Is: The Friend of Sinners

Hello this is Pastor Chris.

Salvation Connection is here to walk with you as you make the most important decision of your life—inviting Jesus Christ into your heart as Lord and Savior. These messages are meant to lovingly guide you through the questions and uncertainties that many people have about Him.

Who is Jesus Christ? And who Jesus Christ is. In this session we will look at: Who Jesus Is: The Friend of Sinners

When people looked at Jesus, many criticized Him for who He spent time with. They said, “Why does He eat with tax collectors and sinners?” And Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.”

That shows us who Jesus is—He is the Friend of sinners. Not because He excused sin, but because He came to heal it. He meets people right where they are, but He never leaves them the same.

Think about that. Most people keep their distance when we fail. But Jesus moves toward us. He isn’t repelled by our brokenness—He came because of it. Sin separates us from God, but Jesus steps into that gap. He is the friend who laid down His life to bring us back to God.

Maybe you’ve thought, “God wouldn’t want me. My record is too messy. My past is too dark.” But that’s exactly who Jesus came for. He is not shocked by your sin. He is not put off by your weakness. He came for you.

And His friendship isn’t casual—it’s eternal. The cross was proof of that. He laid down His life so you could be forgiven, healed, and made new.

SINNER’S PRAYER

Friend, if you want to know Him as your Savior and Friend, you can pray this now:

Dear Lord, I am a sinner, and I need a Savior.  

I am sorry for my sins, and I repent. 

I believe You died on the Cross for my sins and rose again. Pa

I ask you to come into my heart right now and be my Lord and Savior. 

I know from this point moving forward I will have eternal life in you. 

Please order my steps and help me to live in such a way that brings honor and glory to Your Name

Thank you, Jesus, for your gift of salvation.  Pause

Who is Jesus? The Light in the Darkness

Hello this is Pastor Chris.

Salvation Connection is here to walk with you as you make the most important decision of your life—inviting Jesus Christ into your heart as Lord and Savior. These messages are meant to lovingly guide you through the questions and uncertainties that many people have about Him.

Jesus once said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

We know what darkness feels like. It’s confusion when we don’t know which way to go. It’s guilt that won’t let go. It’s fear that creeps in when life feels out of control. Sin is like a darkness that covers us—it blinds, it isolates, and it keeps us stumbling.

But into that darkness, Jesus came. He didn’t bring a flashlight—He came as the Light itself. His presence exposes sin, but it also shines hope. He shows us the truth of who we are, but also the grace of who we can be in Him. In Him, there is forgiveness. In Him, there is clarity and purpose. In Him, there is life.

Why did He have to die? Because sin is the deepest darkness, and the only way to break it was through His sacrifice. On the cross, He bore our sin and endured the darkness we deserved, so that His light could shine into our lives. When He rose again, the darkness was shattered forever.

You don’t have to keep living in confusion, fear, or guilt. You can step into His light today. That’s why He came—to open your eyes, to set you free, and to lead you into life.

SINNER’S PRAYER
If you’ve never trusted Christ, pray from your heart:

Dear Lord, 

I am a sinner, and I need a Savior.  

I am sorry for my sins, and I repent. 

I believe You died on the Cross for my sins and rose again.

I ask you to come into my heart right now and be my Lord and Savior.

 Who is Jesus? The Way, the Truth, and the Life

 Hello this is Pastor Chris.

Salvation Connection is here to walk with you as you make the most important decision of your life—inviting Jesus Christ into your heart as Lord and Savior. These messages are meant to lovingly guide you through the questions and uncertainties that many people have about Him.

In John 14:6, Jesus made a bold statement: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

We live in a world with countless paths and competing voices. Many claim to show the way, many claim to tell the truth, many promise life. But deep down, we know most of them leave us empty. Religion, self-help, or chasing success can’t solve the deepest problem we face: sin that separates us from God.

That’s why Jesus’ words matter. He doesn’t just point to a path—He *is* the way. Because He dealt with sin on the cross, He bridges the gap between us and God. He is the truth—because His life, death, and resurrection confirm He is who He claimed to be. And He is the life—because through Him, we are not just improved, but made new, forgiven, and restored.

Maybe today you feel lost, unsure of which direction to go. Maybe you feel tired of searching, or weighed down by guilt. Friend, there is only one way that leads to God, only one truth that will not fail you, and only one life that lasts forever—and His name is Jesus.

He is not an option among many. He is the only One who took your sin, died your death, and rose again. And He is inviting you right now.

SINNER’S PRAYER
If you’ve never trusted Christ, pray from your heart:

Dear Lord, 

I am a sinner, and I need a Savior.  

I am sorry for my sins, and I repent. 

I believe You died on the Cross for my sins and rose again.

I ask you to come into my heart right now and be my Lord and Savior. 

I know from this point moving forward I will have eternal life in you.

Who is Jesus? The Lamb of God Who Takes Away Sin

Hello this is Pastor Chris.

Salvation Connection is here to walk with you as you make the most important decision of your life—inviting Jesus Christ into your heart as Lord and Savior. These messages are meant to lovingly guide you through the questions and uncertainties that many people have about Him

When John the Baptist saw Jesus, he declared, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.” That picture may sound strange today, but to the people listening, it meant everything.

In their worship, sacrifices were offered again and again for sin, but they never fully solved the problem. Why? Because the blood of animals could not truly take away guilt. They only pointed forward to One who could. Jesus was that Lamb—pure, perfect, and sinless.

Think of the guilt we carry in life. Regrets from the past, words we can’t take back, choices that left scars. Sin is like a stain that clings to us, and no amount of trying harder or doing better can wash it away. But Jesus came as God’s Lamb to do what we could never do—to remove sin completely.

Why did He have to die? Because sin demands payment. A holy God cannot simply ignore it. Justice requires that sin be punished, and death is the penalty. But out of love, Jesus stepped in and took our place. On the cross, He offered Himself as the final sacrifice. His blood was enough—once for all—to cleanse forever those who trust Him.

And His resurrection broke sin’s grip on us, death was defeated, and forgiveness secured. Today, you don’t have to carry the weight of guilt. You don’t have to keep trying to clean yourself up. Jesus, the Lamb of God, has done it all.

Friend, the only question is—will you receive what He has already provided?  It’s a gift, it’s free.  You only need to repent and believe, as Jesus said. 

SINNER’S PRAYER
If you’ve never trusted Christ, pray from your heart:

Dear Lord, 

I am a sinner, and I need a Savior.  

I am sorry for my sins, and I repent. 

I believe You died on the Cross for my sins and rose again.  

I ask you to come into my heart right now and be my Lord and Savior. 

I know from this point moving forward I will have eternal life in you. 

Please order my steps and help me to live in such a way that brings honor and glory to Your Name

Thank you, Jesus, for your gift of salvation. 

If you prayed that prayer and believe it in your heart, God’s Word says you are saved—not because of what you’ve done, but because of who Jesus is and what He has done for you.

Who is Jesus? The Son of God Who Came Near

Hello this is Pastor Chris.

Salvation Connection is here to walk with you as you make the most important decision of your life—inviting Jesus Christ into your heart as Lord and Savior. These messages are meant to lovingly guide you through the questions and uncertainties that many people have about Him.

When you hear the name Jesus, what comes to mind? Some think of a great teacher or a religious leader. Scripture says something far greater—Jesus is the Son of God who came near to us.

John 1:14 says, “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” God stepped into our world—not as a distant ruler, but as a Savior who walked where we walk, felt what we feel, and faced our struggles. Hebrews 4:15 says He knows temptation, pain, and rejection—yet He lived without sin.

Here’s our problem: unlike Him, we sin. Sin isn’t only breaking rules; it’s pushing God aside to go our own way. We see it in pride, selfishness, and anger. Sin separates—it steals peace, harms relationships, and ultimately separates us from God.

Why did Jesus have to die? Because sin carries a real penalty. A just God can’t shrug at evil; it must be paid for. The wage of sin is death—spiritual death, separation from God. Only a sinless life could stand in for us. Jesus offered His perfect life in our place.

So Jesus came near to rescue us—not merely to set an example, but to take our place. On the cross He bore our sin and paid the debt we could never pay. In His resurrection He broke the power of death so we can be forgiven and made right with God.

This matters for you today. Whatever chaos you’re in, whatever weight you carry, Jesus came near to you. He died for your sins and rose to give your life. He is not just a figure from the past—He is alive and calling you now.

Romans 10:9 says, “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”

Friend, Jesus came near so you could be brought near to God. Will you receive Him?

SINNER’S PRAYER
If you’ve never trusted Christ, pray from your heart:

Dear Lord, 

I am a sinner, and I need a Savior.   

I am sorry for my sins, and I repent. 

I believe You died on the Cross for my sins and rose again.

I ask you to come into my heart right now and be my Lord and Savior. 

I know from this point moving forward I will have eternal life in you

Please order my steps and help me to live in such a way that brings honor and glory to Your Name

Thank you, Jesus, for your gift of salvation. 

If you prayed that prayer and believe it in your heart, God’s Word says you are saved—not because of what you’ve done, but because of who Jesus is and what He has done for you.

The prayer does not save you; it is your faith now being placed in Jesus Christ as your Savior and what he did on the Cross that saves you.

God's love and his grace is being freely given to you and know that you are a new creation.
