Freedom comes from Jesus’ compassion, not from insider information.

Good News Weekly Message

Every election season, candidates for office hope the perfect campaign slogan will win people’s votes. One leader, however, offers far more than slogans and is looking for far more than our vote. Jesus promises us that in him we find everything we need for this life and eternal life. He calls us to trust and follow him as our Savior and King. This week, Jesus campaigns for a crown by saying, “Come with me.” By nature, we want to be under the rule of no one but ourselves. Jesus, however, sees this desired state of independence as being like a sheep without a shepherd. Thankfully, he not only identifies our need but meets it. He not only tells us we need a shepherd but provides them for his people.
