The Apostles taught, “Whoever claims to live in Him must live as Jesus did” — 1 John 2:6

There was a time
when you and I
didn’t know Jesus
and didn’t care about Him.
We were in love
with the world
or religion.

But then we met Him.
Jesus changed us!
New heart!
New life!
New us!
The real us —
the people we
were always meant to be.

Now, Jesus,
you are the guide,
you are the goal,
of our new lives.
We want to walk as you walked.
We want to live as you lived.
We want the world to see
you in us!
