I guess there is a big celebration going on today in downtown San Francisco. Does anybody know why? (Giants!)
Why is everybody dressed in black and orange? (colors)
Why are people so excited about the Giants? (long time since they won, they are the best!)


Well, we just read in the Bible about a great victory celebration that all are invited to. At this party everyone will be celebrating, not because of giants but because of a lamb.

The lamb is Jesus. He is the lamb of God who was sacrificed to take away the sins of the World. Every Christian who has ever lived will celebrate Jesus’ final victory over sin, which he earned by his death on the cross.

Do the Giants need to play any more games to prove that they are the champions? (No!) Well, neither Jesus nor you are I need to do anything else to proof that sin and death have been defeated. On the cross, Jesus suffered and died and won victory for us all.

Christians will forever live with God and all the problems we have here on earth will be gone. The bible says that Jesus will wipe every tear from our eye, no more sadness or pain.

Think of a time when you were really happy. Got it? Eternal life with Jesus will be even better for those who have been baptized into His name. That is something to celebrate!

Let’s sing to the Lord.
