I will never forget the Columbine Memorial Ceremoney at the Bowles Crossing movie theater. One of the highlights for me personally was seeing my senior pastor up on the stage sitting next to Colin Powell and delivering an unbelievable message of hope to our community - "Seek Jesus." Here is part of Dr. Jerry Nelson's transcript from that day,There is only one rational way to live without despair in a world of pain. That way is to know the Son of God, Jesus Christ - the one who truly loves us and gave Himself for us. Temporary comfort can come through many means and it is appreciated but genuine, lasting comfort - real hope for the future - comes only through Jesus Christ.
Whether you are a family member grieving the loss of a loved one or a neighbor who hurts deeply for them or a member of community shocked over the evil perpetrated - we, the pastors of your community, appeal to you today – Seek Jesus.
He said, “I am the way the truth and the life…” He also said, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son that whoever believes in him will not perish but have life everlasting."
