It's True And It's For You

When you sit in church, and hear the events and announcements that take place in the Scripture readings, do you ever find yourself not wanting to get your hopes up? God has announced His mercy, grace and forgiveness. But does it ever feel as if this may have been a one-time announcement for people in the past – but not for you?  When you hear Jesus announce the Good News, that your sins are forgiven, can be sure that this includes you today?
