John 6:26Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your

fill.

John 6:35Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

John 6:63-6The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life. Yet there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him... From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him.

Luke 9:23

If anyone would come after me they must deny themselves, take up their cross daily and follow me.

Luke 9:24

For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.

Luke 9:25

What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self?

The Sales Pitch

The Truth

1 Corinthians 1:18

The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God.

God took the cross that represented....

Pain and suffering and turned it into a symbol of victory, healing and hope.

Guilt and turned it into the symbol for grace.

Condemnation and turned it into a symbol of freedom.

Death and turned it into a symbol of life.

What God did for the cross he can do for you

Replace pain and suffering with victory, healing and hope.

Replace guilt with grace.

Replace condemnation with freedom.

Replace an eternal death with eternal life.
