If Jesus is a make believe character, then everything that you and I do in this life has absolutely no meaning. However if the biblical Jesus is real, then there will always be a tomorrow no matter what we have to face today. Jesus guarantees anyone who will believe in him and follow him unlimited tomorrows! Tomorrows that will be better than today. That is good news! Are you guaranteed a better tomorrow?
