The fear of exclusion, the fear of being cast out, of not being accepted, of being seen as ‘the enemy,’ is not surprising in our world. They say, ‘you are not one of us,’ and you see it in their eyes, the way they move away from you, the way they judge you in their minds and in their hearts. What they are saying is ‘you are unacceptable to us.' Join the Rev. Dr. Michael J. Sutton as he brings us a new episode in the second series of Jesus for Busy People titled, ‘The Freedom Jesus Brings.’ Jesus for Busy People, no politics, no agenda, just Jesus.

Starting in our next episode is our second series titled 'The freedom Jesus brings.' Jesus brings us freedom, and it is not about politics or agendas. Jesus is the embodiment of the love of God, and this is seen through his life, death and resurrection.

The good news is that Jesus brings light to this dark world so we can live in the light

What was his Father doing while Jesus was on the cross? The Father, grieving, was turning his face away. He could not look upon his Son, he could not look upon sin, and he forsook his only Son, whom he loved, for on that cross, Jesus became sin. This is the heart of Christianity.

The darkness of Christ's death is the darkness when God the Father turned his face away from the Son so he would never turn his face away from us.

It is not the darkness that holds many people back, but the light. For it is in the light that the truth is revealed.

The good news of Jesus is good news because it turns a person from darkness to light from the power of Satan to God and because of faith, it brings forgiveness of sins and membership in God’s family.

True faith is found in a person who prays alone to God when no one is looking, there is nothing to gain, and no one sees you.
