Main Thought
Augmented Reality is an interesting technological tool. The user puts on goggles and headphones. Then, their experience of the world is transformed by the system. But nothing has really changed! The gospel of Jesus Christ has the power to change our lives, and the lives of others. We all begin distant from God and disillusioned by the world. Jesus appeared into the world to intervene in an amazing way. If we trust in Jesus, then He will truly transform our lives. Our futures can be very different from our past! This is more than a temporary, conditional transformation - because our ultimate inheritance from God becomes an eternity with Him.
Main Passages
3 For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. 4 But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
- Titus 3:3-7
