The Priceless Message
The most valuable things in life are priceless (supremely valuable); some of the most valuable are also price-less (free). The air we breathe is priceless (we cannot live without it). It is also usually price-less (free). Of course, occasionally there is a price-tag. Acetylene welders pay for oxygen gas and scuba divers pay for tanks of air; but normally it lacks a price-tag. Likewise, everlasting life is both priceless (supremely valuable) and priceless (free), because Jesus Christ paid on the cross the supreme cost, His own life. He gave His priceless life so He can give believers priceless life as a gift (free).
We seek to spread the priceless message of life and to clarify the priceless word of God. Thus, we freely offer biblical teaching at no charge on our website. Of course, we welcome those who partner with us through prayers and voluntary tax-deductible offerings. Partnering with Message of Life can enhance what we offer freely.

December 2022 Update

John 1 says Jesus entered a world that did not know its creator and His own land to a people who largely rejected Him. The world is no better today, but our Savior came to a hopeless world to give a sure hope to believers. Have a blessed Christmas and a prosperous new year in the Lord.

July 2022 Update

Greetings,

Last week, we passed the one-year mark in our Tennessee home. It is wonderful to be a half hour away from our son George and his wife Becky. Family is a gift from God.

Diane is doing well after surgeries for meniscus tears in both knees. We are both losing weight and doing well.

Last month Steve Mahoney joined us in driving to the GES conference in Texas. We brought 27,000 Living Waters (English, Spanish, and French). Conference attendees took about 21,500. We dropped off 4,000 for His Church (Pineville, LA), so we returned home with a little over 1,000. May the Lord use all of those Gospels of John to His glory.

John presented two papers on John’s Gospel at the GES conference. They were well received.

Now, for the news that many of you have anticipated. John has been researching and gathering notes for his commentary on John’s Gospel for several years. Last week he began actual writing. He anticipates that it will be 300-400 pages. It will be at least a two-year project, between writing, editing, and interacting with input from a select group of readers.

Pray that the Lord will enable a clear mind, good health, and focus for this marathon race. May He receive all the glory.

By His Grace, John and Diane Niemelä
