       In closing today, perhaps you've been listening to what I've been talking about, about how the disciples were hoping for Jesus to establish his kingdom, only to find it was still far away into the future. Perhaps you can relate to the disciples. Perhaps you were hoping that something in your life would happen—or that God would do something in and through you—only to find yourself still waiting. If you'll remember, Jesus taught his disciples that they should keep praying always and never give up on prayer, and he told them the Parable of the Persistent Widow so they would remember (see Luke 18:1-8). God doesn't forget his people who are waiting. But perhaps maybe what I've said today has been new to you, or maybe you've heard it many times before, but you have never believed on Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins. God wants everyone to come to know him—no matter who you are. He offers his free gift of salvation and eternal life to whoever will believe in him. He died on the cross as your perfect substitute and rose from the dead defeating the power of sin and Satan altogether. He died for you. Jesus can set you free from your sins today, and he can also give you freedom from their stronghold.
