Standing on the sand close to the water,I was looking inside the “sin sea”.
A lot of very happy people were swimming and playing in the water,
Then, some of them bathing in the deepest part, were sinking and
screaming for help, but nobody care!
Then a big ship name “Salvation” got close to them and picked them up!
They say that the name of the Capitan of that ship was Jesus and He loves
to save people that tired of sinning repent from their sins, because they want to begin a new life! Lucky people I said, but how come He only save sinners?
Could somebody explain it to me? Do we have to be bad people to be saved?
Excuse me Sir: I think I can explain it to you!
Who are you?I asked him and he said: Just a friend that wants to help you!
Listen: Although the ship “Salvation” is very big, the people that wants
to be saved are very few, as you can see, everybody is having a good time
in that stinky sea! They don’t want to know anything about salvation!
Look at you for example, you don’t want to get close to the sea and wet
your feet, because you think you are not a sinner, but, let me tell you that the first sin in the world was an act of disobedience and not a sexual sin,it was not about a fruit,but about rebellion,about disobedience!
If you want to get in the ship, you have to get in the water first, not to sin, but to recognize yourself as a sinner.
What? How am I going to get in the sin sea full of bad people?
Criminals,thieves, prostitution, drugs, their sins are big! Mine are small!
Who told you that?
Earth laws punishes the violation of their laws according to the size of
the violation, the bigger the violation, the bigger the punishment!
However, disobedience to God has one size: BIG.
When we break just one of God’s Commandments, we break them all!
If you see it that way, you could be able to understand that:
WE ALL ARE GUILTY OF DISOBEDIENCE TO GOD! Tell me:
Who in this world has not ever lie? Or taken something that does not
belong to them? Exodus 20 says: WORSHIP GOD ONLY!
Haven’t you ever been on your knees before an image of stone, wood
or any material or immaterial thing worshiping it as if it were God?
We don’t have to become sinners, we already are!
And we are standing in the deepest part of the water sinking!
Look! There is the ship! Our Salvation is coming! Shout!
Shout as hard as you can! Call upon Jesus!
Dear Jesus: Forgive us!
Now I understand we are sinners! Please save us!
We don’t want to sin no more!
The ship stopped and saved us!
Now, we thank God with all our hearts!
PRAISE THE LORD!
