How many prospective political candidates have disturbed your day by knocking at your door? Are you persuaded by their arguments, their promises or perhaps like many you are undecided?

Or do you think they are all the same, out for themselves?

Why not look at the manifesto of someone who didn’t promise to change the world, but did!

He has never broken a promise, nor left us without hope.

He features in the most publicised book in the world. Not hundreds or thousands but millions consider him the closest of friends and would trust him with their lives.

So apart from all the former, what else has he to offer?

He will never leave us or desert us, he promises us eternal life.

He has provided us with a way to be in the type of relationship that many would die for. In fact, he himself was prepared to lay his life down for you and me so that we could experience something quite out of this world. A new life, a new start for those that would invite him to be a central part of their lives.

Interested? Well, why not look him up for yourselves and give him your vote. Oh! His name is Jesus Christ and can be found in the Bible.

Go on, you’ve got everything to lose and even more to gain!
