What do you have to lose? So many are opposed to Jesus, so why not ask this question, “What do you have to lose by giving Jesus a chance.” What is the worst that can happen?

What harm can there be by giving Jesus a chance to prove to us He is real. That is the really cool thing, Jesus, who has no reason to prove anything to anyone, is waiting for that chance to do that with everyone.

 

People love to wonder “what if.” What if, with Jesus, what if is actually real?

 

How can Jesus prove it, by actually showing up in your life in real ways. He wrote over 5000 promises in the Bible for us. Do you get that, for us!

 

Jesus says in Matthew 5, not to make promises because it gets you into trouble (Matthew 5:33-37). Yet Jesus makes all kinds of promises to you. Why does He not follow His own advice, because He intends to make good on all of them for you. He has no reason to promise anything since He is God, but He makes promises to us, simply because He truly loves us.

 

Now they may say I have given Jesus a chance. Then ask this, did you really give him a chance?

 

Jesus is all about having a relationship. On earth why do relationships fall apart or not work? One or both people are holding something back. They are not giving the relationship their all. They are afraid of being disappointed. We can sense that, so can Jesus.

 

Jesus is so ready to move in people’s lives, and all they have to do is give Jesus a real chance and they will not be disappointed.

 

Some like to test God before they will go all in. God says not to tempt or test him (Deuteronomy 6:16 and many other places). God says this because when someone does, they are simply looking for a way out of the relationship, a reason not to go for it before it even has a chance.

 

This doesn’t work in earthly relationships for the long haul, why would you think it would work with Jesus? Just go for it and see what happens, once again, “What do you have to lose”?

 

People may say well I have to give money, I have to do certain things, and I have to follow these rules. Take away their excuse and tell them, nope you don’t have to do any of that to give Jesus a real chance.

 

Take all of their excuses out of the way because we only give, serve, and follow Jesus’ teachings because we love Him and know He loves us, so none of that is valid while they are giving Jesus a chance. The proof is Easter. Jesus died and rose again and said if you only believe in Him, you can have eternal life. That is all you must do to start a real relationship with Him (Romans 10:9).

 

All that other stuff, they think a Christian must do, comes later, but we still don’t have to do it, we do it now because we are in love with Jesus, and we want to show it.

 

Everyone is looking for a real and lasting love. People cannot find it in this world. Ask them, “What do you have to lose by giving Jesus a real chance?”

 

The answer: there is nothing to lose because Jesus does not ask for anything, and what you can gain will blow your mind!

 

Remember Jesus loves you; I love you, and you are awesome!
