We all make mistakes we cannot fix, experience losses we cannot recover, and face pains, persecution, tragedies, burdens, and disappointments we cannot handle alone. The good news is that Jesus will not let us handle it alone.

The Son of God perfectly knows and understands, for He has felt and borne our individual burdens. He has perfect empathy and can extend to us His arm of mercy.

1. Jesus Makes Repentance Possible

2. Jesus Teaches Truth

3. Jesus Offers Hope

4. Jesus Offers Peace

5. Jesus Sets the Example

Friends, when we understand that the Savior makes possible repentance and resurrection, teaches vital truths, offers hope and peace, and sets the perfect example,

He becomes the center of our lives and the most important that we need in this life. With Him as our friend, we have the courage to cast out fear and move forward with faith. Thanks be to God. Amen
