Were you ever excluded from a party? On a scale of one to ten, with ten representing best memories, being left behind snags a minus one.

Well, there's a massive party happening in the not-too-distant future. It's one you don't have to miss.

One of the greatest things about this party-besides the wonderful entertainment, abundance of food and drink, and exclusive location-is that you are personally invited. You just have to accept your invitation and you are guaranteed admittance. You'll even be able to catch a complimentary ride to the party when the time comes.

This party is going to happen in Heaven. Jesus Christ is the host. He's got some wild entertainment lined up for those who accept His invitation. There's going to be partying for days on end. That will be just the beginning of the fun, because after the party there's Heaven to enjoy for all eternity.

You can accept your invitation to this party, as well as to Heaven, this very minute, by simply telling Jesus that you want His free offer. You can say something like,

"Yes, Jesus, I want to go to Your party in the sky when the time comes. I wouldn't want to miss the biggest bash in history. Thank You for loving me enough to extend this invitation. I know I'm not perfect, and I'm so glad that You have the power to forgive me and to wipe away my sins. I accept Your free gift of eternal life and ask You to live in my heart always. Amen."

Now that you know there is a party, and that you're on the guest list, you're probably eager for it to happen. Who wouldn't be? Oh, and did we mention that the guests who distribute the most party invitations beforehand receive special honor and rewards from the party host Himself? That's because Jesus wants as many people as possible to make it to that party.

Anyway, according to the party host, Jesus, there's going to be a time of great trouble on Earth before the party happens. It's going to be a showdown between good and evil.

A certain man is going to appear on the world stage and solve a lot of the world's problems. This man is the Devil in the flesh-the Antichrist. He knows the party in Heaven is going to happen, and that it's going to be so much better than any party he could ever throw. He's insanely jealous of Jesus, and he's going to work hard to make people forget about Heaven and that soon-coming party. But in order to party it up his way, people will be required to accept his mark in their hands or foreheads and worship him as God. -And by accepting his mark, people will be rejecting the invitation of the party host, Jesus, to that wonderful party and a place in Heaven.

So here's the challenge: Pass out as many free invitations to the party in Heaven as you can-hey, it's just as easy for somebody else to say that prayer as it was for you-and that way you're helping Jesus, the party host, and foiling the plans of that megalomaniac, the Antichrist.

The Antichrist is going to bring a time of great trouble to the earth for all those who refuse his mark. He's kind of a desperate character, but we can't let that deter us from our mission. In fact, we've got to work even faster to tell people about the invitation to the bigger and better party in Heaven that is soon to come.

That party in Heaven is going to happen, and it's worth waiting for. See you and your friends there!
