Millions are crying. What can I do
To be saved from the pressures of life. The pressures are just so great
We have great technology to save time, but we have less time than ever
Escapism is a subconscious mechanism to escape reality
Job said my days are spent without hope
Isaiah the prophet said even the youths shall faint and be weary
Cain who had killed Abel had a terrible guilt in his life
And he said my burden is greater than I can bear
Job
Who suffered so much in the Bible wanted to die
Thousands of people are suffering from some sort of mental illness
We're called the tormented generation
The tensions in the home
Problems at work. Health problems
Making ends meet. We want to scream at life. We want to escape from life
The Psalmist said and I said old that I had the wings like a dove
For then I would fly away and be at rest have you said that
I'd like to just fly away from my problem get away from it and have rest
The Psalmist longing to escape has become the cry of the world today, but that doesn't seem to be any way out for you
To those people Jesus said I'm the way out. Jesus said I'm the door by me If any man enter in he shall be saved
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved
Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life no man comes to the Father, but by me
In the sight of God man is an individual and God looks upon you as an individual that he loves
He has the hairs of your head numbered. He sees the sparrow fall. He loves you
He's interested in you and he wants you to talk to him and tell what your problems are and he will help you
He loves you so much that he died on the cross for you and shed his blood for you
And if you repent of your sins and receive him into your heart, you'll be saved
You'll go to heaven
You don't have to straighten out your life first. You don't have to go home and do something good in order to find Christ
You do that after you've come to Christ
We don't have to make ourselves well before going to a doctor. He sees sick people. He doesn't see well people
Jesus was called the great physician. He said it is not the healthy who need a doctor but the sick
And we're all sinners. So are you
The blind man came to Jesus just as he was
The leper came just as he was
You can come to Christ tonight just as you are
You don't have to go and clean up anything. You don't have to go change clothes and put on your Sunday best
Just come as you are and say Lord I am just a person in need of Christ
I need to know
That I know Christ
What do I have to do to believe
You have to become as a little child
The Bible says all the way through the New Testament
That we enter the kingdom of God by faith
Therefore being justified by faith
We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ in Ephesians 2. It says for by grace
Are you saved through faith now grace means something you don't earn you don't work for it
You can't work your way to heaven. You can't get good enough to get the heaven
The word believe implies
commitment surrender
You believe in the person of Christ and that word believe means that you commit your life to him
You're not trusting anything for your future. The little boy that I heard about he said, you know
This life is short, but from what I've heard
Eternity is awfully long and said we better spend our time getting ready for eternity
Because we never know what the next hour is going to bring forth what the next day is going to bring forth
Now is to accepted time today is the day of salvation
Come while you can
