Hey everybody, Erica here with Team Lucado.

Wanted to share some exciting news with you all, Max's brand new book you were made for this moment.

Inspired by the timeless and timely story of Esther is available now wherever books are sold. Hi everybody. Max Lakato here from my home to yours.

Thanks so much for joining me for today's encouraging

word.

God bless you. We're spending some time these days in the greatest verse in the Bible.

John 316, for God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only son so that whoever

believes in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. I think in these days in which so much

has been shaken, we need to hold on to some unshakable truths. Oh boy, and there are so many people facing so many fears.

We really need the unshaking presence of Christ. And we need him. We need him because he is,

according to John 316, the one and only son. And whoever believes in him, whoever believes in him shall not perish,

but have everlasting life. He is absolutely unique in all of history. And we're celebrating that

uniqueness. Whoever, whoever believes in him. You know this, whoever means wherever he finds you,

however he finds you. And today I want to celebrate the idea that, yeah, the gospel of Christ

has a whenever clause. Would you like to hear about it? Whenever you hear God's voice, he welcomes your response.

You know, while cleaning my car, I found a restaurant gift, a gift certificate, a voucher.

There amid all the papers and the gum wrappers and the trash was a treasure, $50 worth of food.

I'd received it for my birthday.

Over a year ago, you know where this is going.

I'd misplaced it.

And my enthusiasm was short-lived when I saw the expiration date. The invitation had expired. I'd waited too long.

You haven't. You haven't. And to convince you, Jesus wove the most wonderful parable of 11th hour grace.
