"ROSES AND THORNS"

In the time of the crucifixion of Christ,
some roman soldiers found a thorn bush,
full of flowers and thistles.

The soldiers threw the flowers away, and
with the thistles, they weave a crown of thorns
to put on the head of the man that suffering,
was carrying on his shoulders a heavy cross.

Pushing hard the crown on his head, they
make his blood run all over his forehead.
and with a malicious smile and great sarcasm,
they called Him: The King of the Jews.

Then, next to a couple of thieves,
they hanged Him on the cross,
and with nails piercing his hands and feet,
they fixed Him on the wood.

How sad!
But how joy full at the same time,
when at the third day, He rose from the dead,
to live eternally!

The wide road to hell, is full of roses,
to deceive the “good” that without realizing it,
is yielding to the enticements of sin, and,
they are lead like an ox to the butcher’s shop.

Contrary to that, the narrow road full of thorns,
serves to acknowledge little by little our sins,
and, when we finally reach Jesus, we see that
to forgive our sins, with open arms…
He is waiting for us!

And we realized without thinking…
That thanks to Him…
We will be in heaven!

PRAISE THE LORD.
