"THE DRUNKCARD"

A sinner is like a drunkard that gets drunk with the wine of sin!
Sin is a strong venom that slowly by surely it is killing us all!
The drunkard like a sinner, drinks and drinks but never satisfies their thirst!
The sinner that repents and does the same sin again,is like the drunkard that takes aspirins for the headaches of the next day after drinking, but when the night comes, continue drinking the poison that destroys the body and soul:SIN.
Jesus did not sacrifice himself to cure our drunkenness of sin, but to cure us and help us to stop drinking that poison that besiege us, conquer us and then destroy us!
CHRIST CAME TO HELP US, TO SAVE US, TO CURE US FROM SIN!
Many people are sinning in the highway I tried to talk to somebody, but
they had covered their ears with earphones listening to their music.
I shout and shout without any success, however a drunkard moving side by side came to me and asked me what did I want, and I told him: I just wanted to talk to you, talk about what he replied about a better way of living!
Did you say that there is a better place to live than here? He said!
Yes! that is exactly what I said!
Well, where is it? I cannot see it he said! Can I have some aspirins?
I have to be ready for tomorrows drinking!
Would you like to stop drinking?
No! I don’t have a better thing to do!
But, nobody asked me that question before! But,
How am I going to quench my thirst?
In the fountain of water that satisfies so much that you will never going to be thirsty again!
Oh I love that he said! Where is it?
You have to believe!
Look: Somebody gave his life so you could live! His name is Jesus.
He paid the penalty for your sins,and if you believe in him,He can cure you! And you will begin a new life serving people!
I like that , but how am I going to believe in somebody I do not know?
Please seat down! I have with me a Bible, in it you could get the answer
of all the questions you have in mind!
No! I think I better come back tomorrow!
Forget about tomorrow, tomorrow it may not come
Start reading now! I will be right back.
So I went back to the highway of sin, to see if I could get more people but
Nobody were interested and I came back to my new friend.
What a surprise I had when I saw him on his knees praising the Lord!
And with tears on his eyes he asked me: what do I have to do to follow Jesus?
Look over there I said, they are two crosses on the floor next to the narrow road we have to take our crosses and start walking on it.
In this road there is the bread of life and the fountain of living waters
If you drink from this water and eat from that bread, you will never be
hungry and thirsty again!
It is the fountain of eternal life!
Say no more!
I believe you!
And I believe that Jesus died on the cross to save me!
You don’t know how happy makes me to listen to your words!
The words that come from a regenerated heart!
Yes, he said! Thanks to Jesus!
Common let’s go! Jesus is ahead of us!
Yes but tell me: What are those crosses for?
To reaffirm your faith!
You have to decide to obey Him, or to throw it away and return to
The road of sin!
Don’t say anything more brother! I’ve got it!
Let’s hurry up!
We have to reach Christ!
Don’t worry brother!
HE IS WITH US!

“For where two or three are gathered in my name,
there I am in the midst of them” Mathew 18-20.

PRAISE THE LORD!
