The Wordless Book: Red



God knew about the sin in your life—that there was nothing you could do to take it away. That’s why He sent His only Son, Jesus in the world as a baby. Jesus is God’s perfect Son. He lived a sinless life. He never thought, said or did anything that did not please God, the Father.
Jesus did not deserve to die, he could have called down a thousand angels to take him down from the cross. But He willingly gave Himself up to die on the cross for you and me. He took your punishment. This was the only way you and I could have our sins forgiven.
Just like the red on this cross, Jesus gave his blood for you and me. It says in the Bible in Hebrews chapter 9 verse 22 "without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness".
Jesus died and God brought Jesus back to life on the third day. Jesus is alive in heaven today.
Because of what Jesus did for you, you can have your sins forgiven.
