There are more Subway shops now than McDonalds because of Jared. He’s still doing commercials for them. That’s the guy who lost 300 pounds eating turkey sandwiches at Subway. He lost a whole person out of his pants! Can you believe it? Some people are going, ”Oh, if I eat there, maybe I’ll lose a person out of my pants.” It illustrates what a lot of commercials do to sell you their product; they tell you what difference it will make if you’ll buy it.

I’m Ron Hutchcraft, and that’s exactly what people want to know about our Jesus. “What difference does He make in your life?” They’re not so interested in your beliefs or the meetings you go to. What does Jesus do when He comes in a life? Well, your story is the answer to that question—your testimony—your Hope Story. Your story literally can be God’s tool to overcome the devil, believe it or not, and change a person’s eternal address. The Bible says, ”They overcame (the devil) by the blood of the Lamb (that’s Jesus’ story) and by the word of their testimony” (that’s your story) (Revelation 12:11 ).

Your Hope Story has three parts to it: B. C.—you before Jesus took over, A. D.—the difference He’s making since then, and then the turning point—how you got started with Him. You say, “Well, I don’t have a Hope Story. I never did a lot of bad stuff. I think I was prenatally good.” Take a piece of paper. Write this: “If it weren’t for Jesus…” How would your lonely times be, your depressing times, your stress times? How would you handle the bad news from the doctor…the funeral. See, that’s your Hope Story, including how His Story of what He did on the cross changed your story cause it could change their story forever.

That’s what we want to help you do; help them go to heaven with you. Go to our website. It’s ALifeThatMatters.org because God put you here to live a life that matters.
