Call on the name of the Lord to save you! Proclaim Jesus as your risen Lord! Share with him in baptism as the first Christians did. Have God add you to his holy people.

Don't wait! Today is the day of salvation! Rejoice in it. Pass it on to others. Christ our King has come to bring his salvation to all of us who will truly believe!
