The Truth is This
By Michelle Andre
You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to get to heaven. You don’t
even have to know that “1+1=2,” but you do need to have ears that can
listen and eyes that can see. You must believe with all your heart
that Jesus was crucified on that the cross to save you and whomever
else may believe. We are all sinners and deserve severe punishment in
the Father’s eyes. How wonderful it is that he loves every single one
of us enough to send his own son to die on our behalf.
Why would Jesus want to die for us? We sin and sin again and it seems
that it is impossible to rid our lives of this horrible sin. But there
is hope! That is the best news. We have all failed in Gods eyes, but
as we walk this earth, Jesus is always there ready to take us and show
us the way because he has already been here and knows that there is
only one right way! That way is through him. In order to get to him
you must humble yourself and ask the Lord Jesus to come into your
heart and forgive you for your sins. The Lord loves you so much that
anything you have done in your past is forgiven! He died on the cross
specifically for sinners. He is watching and waiting this very second
for you to finally surrender and just hand it all to him! Jesus died
for you.
Jesus walked this earth and experienced the same temptations had many
opportunities to sin. Jesus came to the earth for the very purpose to
show the way and even more to die so that we may find the way! What an
amazing savior we all have. God is your father. he wants to welcome
you with open arms and make you a part of his holy family. Nothing in
your life is impossible for God to make right. In fact, when you are
at your weakest, that is when he does what he does best: change your
life. Jesus didn’t really hang out with the higher ranked people or
the most respected people. He spent most his time with people others
would describe as low-lifes. The point I am trying to make is that
Jesus wanted to surround himself with people who should learn from of him.
In the United States most people hear about Jesus around the age of
five. A little boy named Elijah was walking with his father to go
fishing and they were coming up to an old sign that read “no
trespassing”. Elijah asked his daddy what the sign said. When he
learned what the sign meant, he turned to go the other way, saying
that God would not want him to trespass so he ran all the way back
home so that he would not disobey God. Children are blessed in the
eyes of the Lord. We must be like them to get to heaven.
Many of us tend to think with closed minds that, “everyone has heard
of Jesus,” but that is not true. Even here in America people are
walking around still unsure of what Jesus is really all about. Jesus
said in Mathew 24:14 that his gospel, his good news of the kingdom,
will be preached to the whole world and it will be a witness to all
nations. Then the end will come.
Does Jesus mean he will come back to earth then? Are we Americans
holding out on the Lord’s prophesy? Does America and all its wealth
hold the key to unlocking the greatest mystery on earth? Can we be the
witnesses the Lord speaks of when he says his gospel will be a witness
to all the nations? Its about time we step it up and spread the news
for everyone to hear. We need to take a step and leave the rest to
Jesus. Jesus loves all. He wants to be your saving grace.
