You know when it’s close to a holiday or a special event, because all of a sudden, everywhere you look, you see the ads, “great deals”, “One Day Only!!”, even “Buy One Get One Free.” Now I’m sure all of these are great deals, but there is one deal in my mind that stands out, year after year and will continue to do so. It is a deal that has stood the test of time for nearly 2,000 years. A deal that requires no getting up at the break of day to beat the crowds. In fact, if we were to put this ad in the paper or on a billboard it would read, “By One, All is Free!” Ready for the deal of all time?? It’s salvation through Jesus Christ!!  Freedom from Satan’s power and strongholds in your life, freedom from eternal separation from God and punishment in a lake of fire, and if you act TODAY, as a bonus, you will receive a personal relationship with God Himself!!! It’s really the only deal out there that lets you start all over and be something new and improved, better than when you started.  And the best part, it’s FREE!!! It has already been paid for! This amazing, life changing deal was paid for by God Himself, who sent His only begotten Son to die on a cruel, lonely cross. And all it requires of you and me is to “cash in.” Realize that without God you have nothing… and without God you can’t be free from your sins. And once you realize all of this, all you have to do is ask God to forgive you and come into your heart, forgive you of your sins and make Him Lord and Savior of your life. That’s it! Nothing hidden, no fine print except to allow Jesus to change your life and live for Him. What a deal!! This Christmas season, I ask you to share this “Great Deal” with everyone you meet and if you’ve never  “cashed in” on this deal and received Him as your Lord and Savior, I encourage you to do so today! It will change your life, your family’s life even those around you. Again I say, What a Deal!!
