So it's really of importance this morning to understand the text that we have before us.

If you're not saved by Jesus Christ, period, you will perish.

I don't care who you are.

Mary cannot save you.

The church cannot save you.

Krishna cannot save you.

Buddha cannot save you.

Mohammed cannot save you. No one can save you, only one

person, Jesus Christ.

I am falling, I am falling in love. I am falling in love. I am falling in love. I am falling in love with you.

Welcome to Somebody Lives You Radio, the Bible teaching ministry of Roll Rees in Diamond Bar, California.

Thanks for being here today for a new Easter series celebrating the power and love that propel Jesus to a cross.

Roll will begin with a foundational word about the universal need for salvation.

All of us have sinned and are separated from God,

but through the Lord Jesus,

he gives us a way back into a relationship.

Stay with us to think about the world-changing work

that Jesus accomplished on the cross.

Here's Roll Rees in Matthew chapter 18, beginning in verse 11,

with the lesson, The Importance of Salvation. If you have your Bible, lesson, the importance of salvation.

If you have your Bible, turn to the book of Matthew, chapter 18.

Matthew 18.
