Acts 2.22-24, 32 Have you ever trusted Jesus to save you? The First Message Christianity rises and falls on the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Is It Your Message? Jesus was and is the Christ. Jesus was crucified even though he was innocent of sin. He died because of and for our sin. God raised Jesus back to life. People saw Jesus alive, and it changed their lives. You and I must give our life to Jesus and trust him. We follow him forever.
