It’s not too good to be true!  Few things in this world can live up to that.  And the best part is not only is it good but its also free!  I’m talking the salvation that comes from Jesus Christ alone.  Isn’t it funny that the most precious thing we can ever get is free?  Well, its free for us Jesus payed the ultimate price, his life, so that you and I can see God face to face.  Without the death of Jesus we would have no path to reach Heaven.  Nothing our earthly bodies can do is good enough to be accepted into heaven.  Jesus left his throne to come to this crummy earth to live life as the child of a simple carpenter.  God could have sent Jesus to any woman on earth to be born.  Instead of choosing some royal family to raise his only son he sent Jesus to live among the common people, to grow up as a common boy.  And when Jesus had grown he went out to the world and broke all the rules, yet remained sinless.  He showed the hypocrisy in the Jewish faith at that time.  He condemned those who did not practice the teaching of the God given Law’s of Moses.  He ruffled the feathers of the rabbi’s so much that they despised him.  The hated Jesus and wanted him dead.  He was betrayed by one of his closest friends and given up to the king to face punishment.  And yet he remainedsinless.  He was tried under the by Caesar’s governor, Pilate, who tried everything to let Jesus go.  But, the Jewish leaders demanded for his death and Pilate obeyed them.  Jesus was then tortured, beaten, spit on, and stripped of his clothing.  He was forced to carry his own instrument of death, the cross.  When he stumbled a simple Jewish man was forced to carry the cross for him.  And even still he remained sinless.  He was nailed to that cross raised into the air and left to die.  The death would be brutal, painful, and slow.  Even then he would remain sinless.  He shared to the murders and thieves hanging on either side of him and even saved one for his faith.  Jesus died on that cross and the Earth became dark.  He was buried in a grave not even his own, it was borrowed.  He went to hell for our sins and to reclaim the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. After three days with an earthquake the stone was rolled away and Jesus was raised from the dead.  He returned to his apostles to show that he was no long dead.   He now sits on his throne with his Father making intersession for us.  He did all this for you!  All he ask is that we simply believe, ask him into our heart, and repent of the sins we have committed that sent him to hell in our place.  He forgives your sins and he never will use them against you again.  If you have never accepted the gift of His forgiveness it’s not to late.  You can do it right now it as simply as a prayer.  If you honestly in your heart believe that the story above is true and you want to have that gift pray this prayer.
