VBS Day 4: God Loves You No Matter What!

Lead me along the path of everlasting life.
Psalm 139:24
God loves you, no matter what!!

Jesus came to this earth as a little baby, grew up in Nazareth, left home and gathered together twelve men to work with him, proclaiming the Gospel of God's love.  After three and a half years, He was arrested, tried, convicted. He was taken to Calvary, forced to carry His own cross [the cross beam of the cross probably weighed 30-40 pounds!] down a street called the Via Dolorosa.  He was crucified on the cross, forgave the two thieves who were crucified beside Him, and forgave the soldiers who pounded in the nails.  He was buried in a cave on Friday evening, probably embalmed with myrrh - one of the gifts the magi brought Him as a baby.  On Sunday morning, He rose from the grave, visited His disciples, and is alive today - Your Savior and Redeemer.    

God is very sad when we do bad things - but He still loves us.  He is hoping that you will ask Him to forgive you when you do something wrong.  He LOVES to do that!  But He will not stop loving you at any time.
