    The Old Rugged Cross

    Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. “In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine, a wondrous beauty I see, for 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died, to pardon and sanctify me.” What a beautiful way George Bennard described the cross of Christ in this famous hymn. This, this is the Good News of the Gospel! In the horrible, painful image of our crucified Savior, there is grace and mercy that we don’t deserve—complete forgiveness for all of our wrongs. When we place our trust in Jesus, He takes our sins on Himself and gives us His spotless, perfect life. When God sees us, He sees righteousness. O what a Savior, that while we were yet sinners, Jesus died so that we might be forgiven. And here in a few days, we celebrate that Jesus conquered the grave and stands as our King who triumphs over sin and death. Let’s share with others! For help, visit sharelife.today.

    His Body Broken for Us

    Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. During the very first Easter Week, Jesus celebrated the Last Supper with his disciples the night before He was crucified. On this Passover night, He sat with His disciples and gave them a clear picture of what He was about to do through their last meal together. He “took bread, and gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to [His disciples], saying, ‘This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant of my blood, which is poured out for you.’” We take communion as Christians in remembrance of what Jesus has done through His death and resurrection. The bread represents His body broken, and the wine depicts His blood spilled for the forgiveness of sins. He did it out of love for us! And all we must do to receive forgiveness is to place our trust in Jesus alone. Learn how to share this Good News with others at our website: sharelife.today.

    The Garden of Gethsemane

    Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. As we continue walking through Easter together, today I want to look ahead to Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. In the Gospels, we see Jesus pray through the night asking God to take the cup of what was to happen from Him. If you or I stood in His shoes—facing the wrath of Almighty God for the sins of the world—we probably would have refused it. But even though Jesus asked His Father, His will was set. He was committed to the cross. But it wasn’t easy for Jesus. He felt such sorrow and agony that He told James and John, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death.” Jesus knew He would not only die but take the judgment, anger, wrath, and separation from God that we deserved. But He did it willingly. And He did it for us. He died so that all who put their trust in Him alone would be blameless before Almighty God.

    Jesus Fulfilled the Passover

    Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. When Jesus came to Jerusalem that first Easter week, He didn’t just come to celebrate the Passover…He came to fulfill it! The very first Passover occurred when Moses was trying to free the Israelite slaves from Egypt. Pharaoh had seen God’s might and will through nine plagues that had come upon his nation. But Pharaoh, after making false promises, would go back on his word; and God would warn him again. The tenth plague killed every firstborn son except for the ones that had the blood of a lamb without blemish on their door frame. And that blood was the substitute for their sins. And for hundreds of years before, the blood of a spotless lamb was the only temporary substitution for sins. But Jesus…He came to shed the perfect, final, atoning blood on the cross. And all who put their trust in Him alone, God counts as righteous by His substitution. For more about the Gospel and how to share it, visit sharelife.today.

    The Messiah’s Triumphant Entry

    Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. What a meaningful week we’ve just started! And walking through Easter with your family, friends, and even strangers can be a wonderful way to share the Gospel with them. Because truly, the Good News of the Gospel happened that very first Easter week and started with Jesus entering Jerusalem on a donkey. At first glance, that may not seem like much…but truly, this was an amazing and powerful act. Jesus’ entry on a donkey claimed His rightful place as their Messiah—the One who came to save His people from their sins. Every Jew there would have known Zechariah’s prophecy of the King and the Messiah coming—triumphant and victorious!—on a donkey colt. And that’s why they shouted, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” King Jesus came to be the sacrifice for sinful humans. And all who place their trust in Him alone, “He gives the right to become children of God.” For more, visit our website at sharelife.today.

    Jesus is Waiting

    Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. You may have heard Jesus described before as the Good Shepherd, but did you know in the same passage that He says, “I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture.” So while Jesus is the Good Shepherd and the gate, The Bible describes us as sheep. And it’s honestly a good metaphor. Sheep will wander off without much thought as to the danger of being away from the shepherd. And the truth is we all do that kind of wandering away from God in our sin. But the Good Shepherd is chasing after us. You know, the Bible has a beautiful picture…it says, “All we like sheep have gone astray, each to our own way, but the Lord has laid upon Him—Jesus—the sin—or iniquity—of us all.” You know, Jesus waits for us to respond to His offer of salvation. The question is for us...what are we waiting for? For more, visit our website at sharelife.today.

    Jesus is our Refuge

    Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble. Therefore, we will not fear..." These powerful verses from Psalm 46 remind us of a key truth found throughout God's Word—when we become a child of God, Jesus is our refuge. In fact, the last thing Jesus told His disciples before He ascended into heaven was, "...surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." There may be many things we fear or battle. But today, I want to encourage you: Find your refuge in Jesus. He will be your Rock, your Fortress, your Bulwark when storms come your way. You can rest in Him. And knowing this important truth changes everything. It gives us the strength to do what Jesus asked His disciples to do before He told them He will always be with them: "Therefore go and make disciples of all the nations..."

    Jesus is our Healer

    Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. In the New Testament, Jesus performs miracle after miracle, healing on the lame, the sick, and the blind. He even raised His friend Lazarus from the dead! Christ has the power to heal us physically; but, you know, the biggest miracle of all is that Jesus can also heal us spiritually. Psalms 103 says, "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not his benefits, He forgives all of our iniquity, who heals all of our disease..." Physical illness is one of the awful side effects of sin coming into the world in the Garden of Eden. And the curse of sin has caused this world and everything in it to decay. But Jesus has compassion for the sick and the hurting. Through His death on the cross, He offers anyone who puts their trust wholly, firmly in Him healing from their sin and complete healing one day in Heaven. Let's share the Savior's love with those around us. For more on who Jesus is, visit sharelife.today.
