    About this ebook

    Gods love for the world was gift-wrapped in love and tied with a crimson ribbon. Jesus knew his destiny was a lonely road to Mt. Calvary where he died for you and me on a cruel cross. Salvation is a free gift to all. It is not Gods will that anyone perish, but all come to Christ for a new life. Our future with him is secure in heaven.
