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. Well, God bless you. God bless you from my home to yours, from my front yard, to your house. God bless you.

And today we're wrapping up a discussion that's

really taking us a good chunk of the summer to discuss John 3 in verse 16. The end of this passage

is where Jesus promises to give us eternal life. There's such an offer appeal to you.

Here's what the sign said. Free flight, Rio

Desioreo to Miami, Florida. Now, I wasn't the only person to hear about the offer, but I was

one of just a few to phone in and request the details. The courier service offered an airline

ticket to anyone willing to carry a bag of mail to the United States.

The deal was simple. It was really tantalizingly simple. Just meet the company representative at the airport where you'll be given a duffel bag, a duffel bag full of documents and mail, and also one ticket.

Check the bag when you check in for the flight.

Retrieve the bag in Miami before you make your connections,

and give the bag to the uniform courier representative who will be waiting for you beyond the customs.

Now, I know what you're thinking.

Nobody does that, Max.

Nobody makes that offer.

Well, not anymore, but this was 1985, and this was the years before intense airport security.

My dad was dying of ALS. We were living in Rio.
