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.
