| At one time, nothing existed. (Nothing, Nada, Zip, Zero) Nothing, that is, except one Man. (The ONLY man!..ooohh!) This Man had all the power, all the love, and all the passion there ever was. (Way awesome!) He looked down into the darkness and emptiness and what did He see? WHAT DID HE SEE?! ............Nothing! (Duh! No brainer!) So, He created light or the sun (You know, that big, round thing up in the sky that hurts your eyes when you look at it!), and He created darkness or night (You know, the time when your scared of the dust-bunny-eating-monster under the bed!), and He created all the planets including earth! (Cool!) Then, He created everything on earth by just one spoken phrase each! (Now, that's what I call power!) Then, last but DEFINITELY NOT least, He created man and from man He created woman. (ooohh, aaahh!) These two people were instructed to eat of everything in the garden where they were living EXCEPT one certain tree. This tree would give them opened eyes to see the difference between good and evil. But, when tempted, they took, ate, and were punished! (Goodness gracious!) They could no longer live in peace but had to work for food. (Just like us today!) Because they had done wrong, everyone after them did wrong too. (This would just not work!) This powerful Man, promised (the sinful people) that He would send a sacrifice so that the people who did wrong, wouldn't have to be punished and die for what they had done. So, as promised, He sent a sacrifice. Born by one of the women on the earth, was a Child who was perfect. He never did wrong! (ooohh! Awesome!) He grew up and then was punished. (What the heck for?!?) He did no wrong but was still punished anyway! (That's just simply not cool!)He died, on a cross, hanging high above the people bellow. He died a slow, sad death. The wrong doings of the people were upon Him. So much so, that the powerful Man who created everything, had to turn away from the awful site. Isn't that such a sad story? It's so powerful and moving. But, guess what?! It doesn't end sad! Keep reading! The perfect Man, died there. He was tortured, beaten and mocked for all the wrong doings that we've done. (WE?! You mean, me and you?!) Yes, WE! We do wrong things called sin. He died just for us. While dying, He thought about everyone of us. His thoughts were on you as He hung there in agony and pain. But, after He was dead, men put Him into a tomb and rolled a stone over the opening. After 3 days, a woman came to put spices on His body (So He wouldn't stink up the joint!) and as she neared the tomb, she saw that the stone had been moved. Two angels were there and they told her that the Man who HAD BEEN inside, was now alive! And, He is alive today! (He is?! Where is He?! I must get this dude's autograph!) He's alive and watching you and me from heaven! You see, the man's name is Jesus. The great Creator is God and this story is true. It really happened and Jesus is really alive today. He died so that we wouldn't have to pay the penalty and die for our wrong doings, or sins. To not die, we have to believe that Jesus really lived and died and that He is really living today. Do you believe that? We'll tell Him you do. Just pray this: Lord, I believe what I just read here. It is so true and I want what you are offering right now. This salvation from my wrong doings is what I want in my life. Please forgive me for ever committing anything against you and please, be my Lord and Savior right now. Come into my heart and live and shine through me. Thank you for this free gift. Help others I see to want this free gift as much as I do. In you name I pray, Amen. Did you mean that? If so, then you have now been excepted into heaven to live forever when you die. Feel peace? That peace comes from God when you get that guilty feeling off of your chest. Well, hope you got a lot out of this. Join a church and learn about your new-found faith and reliance in God. If you're ever in the Danville, VA area, try The Tabernacle on 58 east. Great church!
