What do you want first?

The good news or the bad news?

The Bad News: The Sheriff reads the accusation.

The Verdict: Guilty as charge. The Death sentence is pronounced.

The law-enforcers and keepers of the peace draw their mighty weapons of justice from their holsters.

CLICK CLICK CLICK Ten guns are cocked and aimed straight at you.

The Good News: Mercifully, just as the order to fire is about to be given and your criminal life BRUTALLY ENDED, the sheriff enters the room.

He clothes you with a bullet-proof suit.

You now have full body armor and soul protection.

BANG!

The ten guns blaze And the bullets embed themselves in the

Protective suit.

YOU ARE SAVED.

This is the original great-escape. The grand showdown of life VS death.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

*********************************************************************************

we've all felt it.

that growing sense of unease

that someday the things we've done

might catch up to us

and we know that if we've broken one of God's laws,

in a sense we've broken them all, (james 2:10)

because we've put ourselves at odds

with a huge, powerful, just God.

and so we find ourselves being accused

by ten big angry lawsrightly pointing at us and revealing our guilt

while all the while our spirits wonder

is there some way out of here?

is there some way to deal with this paralyzing shame?

is there some way to experience peace in this crazy life?

and that's where someone new steps in.

you've heard his name before: Jesus.

the name may sound familiar to you,

but you will never fully know who he is

until he comes and offers you a new chance at life

and you accept the peace he is offering you

and begin to walk around clothed in something different.

the fear is gone. the unease has long passed.

those anxious wondering thoughts about life after death

can now be put to rest.

your crimes have been forgiven.

Happy Easter.
