What a Transformation!
What a way to go!
¶ Yes! The above is just a simple way of describing the reality of how great it truly is to Know The Lord!
Jesus said... "I am The Way, The Truth and The Life." Jesus goes on to say "no man cometh unto The Father but by me." [John14:6.]
What could we possibly present to The Father if we come in our own strength and "standing"?
What glaring reality would stand out, thus disqualifying us from entry into Heaven? Of course our sinfulness and defilement, but if we come via Jesus and are presented and represented by Him who "made the Worlds" and also......
By Him of whom it was announced before He was born "Thou shalt call His name Jesus for He shall save His people from their sins" [Matthew 1:21.]
By Him of whom it was said "There is one mediator between God and men, The Man Christ Jesus" [1Timothy 2:5.]
By Him of whom it is said "Being justified freely by His Grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus" [Romans 3:24]
By the one of whom it was Prophesied 700 years before He was born into the human race "Surely He hath born our griefs and carried our sorrows, yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgression, He was bruised f or our iniquities and the chastisement of our Peace was upon Him and by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and The Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all" [Isaiah 53:4-6.]
We can only come by Him, even as Peter said these following words to Jesus... ... "Lord , to whom shall we go, You have the words of Eternal Life." [John 6:68.]
The Lord thrill you with with the excitement of His great love for you and with the great blessing of knowing Him along this "road of life" as "The Great Transporter" from earth to Heavens Eternity, and as you travel along and notice some sad wrecks by the side of the road - "Back up" and offer The glorious "restoration" that this Gracious "Road Transporter" and His workshop can offer.
Come to Jesus if you don't know Him and get on the Thrilling High Road of life!
Jesus Loves You!
God bless.
PS. If you do know The Lord, perhapse your Church youth group could use the above story illustration of the Gospel as a "skit".
