Join me, Max Locato, for Max Locato's Because of Bethlehem, in theaters nationwide, December 5th,

6th, and 7th. Together, we will remember that the Christmas season is more than a pretty tree

with presents piled underneath. It's a time to reflect on the true gift of the season. Join me,

along with special guests, Matthew West and Wilson, C.C. Winans, and more. Tickets are on sale now

for this special in theaters only event. Hey everybody, Erica here with Team Locato.

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 Locato here from my home to yours. Thanks so much for joining me for today's

encouraging word. In these challenging and uphill days, may the Lord lift your spirits and

may He give you some strength. We've been talking over the last few days about how to begin again.

That's the theme of a new book of mine, begin again, and I want to take that conversation a step

further. There's something that Jesus really wanted us to know. He must have wanted us to know

this truth. He lifted and printed on our consciences because in his last sermon in the gospel of

Matthew, he really made a big deal out of this topic. Out of all the topics he could have picked,

he chose to depict the final scene of the last day, the great day of judgment.

And on that day, Jesus will issue an irresistible command in all will come, all will come from

sunken ships, from forgotten cemeteries, they will come, from royal tombs, from grassy battlefields,

they will come. All will be there, from able, the first to die, to the person being buried at the

very moment that the trumpet sounds when Jesus calls, every human in history will be present.

What a moment that will be. All the angels will be present. The whole heavenly universe will

witness the event. It will be a staggering gathering of souls. And at some point, the scripture says

that Jesus will separate them one from another as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats.
