"WHAT DO YOU SEE?"

I was looking at a crucifix with a great desire to ask Him for help, but I,
did not have the courage to do it!
Suddenly, a person approached me, and very kindly said:
Pardon me sir, what are you looking at?
Oh! I’m sorry I said, I was so amazed looking at the crucifix, that I did not realized ,that somebody else was here!
Many people told me he does wonders, and grants people what they want
If the ask Him with Faith, but, I could only see a good person that has been victimized with great cruelty! I see a person that trying to help people, was condemn to die on a cross in which he died with all his good intentions!
And the truth is that how is he going to help me with his hands and feet
nailed down on the cross?
How is He going to help me if he couldn’t help himself?
I do need help! Yes! But I think he could not be able to do it!
Oh! I’m sorry! I’m very sorry to hear you talking that way about Him!
What you are looking at, is just only a small part of his past!
His life is in all three dimensions of time: Past, resent and Future!
Are you trying to tell me that his life does not end on the cross?
You are exactly right! Listen:
The Past of Jesus, begins when his people where asking everyday to God
for a Messiah, a Savior, somebody that could be able to end with their
sufferings and to free them from their enemies!
God had Mercy on them, and sent his beloved Son to help them out,
but they did not believe He was sent by God, and they rejected Him,
and did not rest until they saw Him crucified thinking that it was going to be the end of the story, but it was not!
After his death, He was buried and at the third day, He rose!
He came back to life to never die again! He woke up to an everlasting life!
Jesus was taken to heaven and NOW Present tense, He is seating down at
the right hand of God his Father, ready to listen to all people that tired of being captives of sin, they wish to become free and get rid of their chains!
And by opening their hearts to Jesus Christ, they receive his Holy Spirit
to begin a new life at the service of God and people, in the mean time
they wait for His Glorious return bringing for us, Salvation and also
to judge everyone that rejected Him!
When we see the crucifix, we are not looking at a weak person but,
at the Almighty God, we are not looking at a looser but at a Conqueror!
We are not looking at a person punished for sinner or bad behavior,
We are looking at Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior!
Repent for your past! Receive Him now! And live forever!
Thank You Jesus!
Tell me: What do you see?
