THE GOOD NEWS IS WAY BETTER THAN WE CAN IMAGINE!
Christ is the gate by which humanity can enter into eternal life. He is the only Way. When we come to Christ we enter the New Jerusalem and begin walking in His life. His life is the light of men and it's this Light that shines in the darkness and the darkness cannot overcome it. The gates to the Garden are always open so that everyone has access to the Father through Him.
Following His ascension, Christ sent the Spirit of God to the earth to collaborate with and guide the ekklesia in furthering the expansion of God's kingdom. Together, the Spirit and the bride invite those outside the gates of the Garden City to come. Those who are lost seek truth and yearn for that which sustains life. Therefore, we lovingly beckon them and guide them to the source of Living Water.
