Jesus - A Story of Hope
John 11:25,
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die.”
John 14:19,
Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live.
Because He Lives
by Bill & Gloria Gaither
God sent His Son, they called Him Jesus
He came to love, heal and forgive
He lived and died, to buy my pardon
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow
Because He lives, all fear is gone
Because I know, He holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
