Jesus Gave His Life

That night when Jesus went alone to pray. He knew his death was just a heartbeat away. As he was taken by the soldiers that night. He surrendered without even a fight. He was soon to be whipped, ridiculed and scorned. While so many people watched sadly and mourned. “Crucify him” was the cry of the large crowd. This cry could be heard ever so loud. The crown of thorns placed on his head, the drops of blood fell as he bled. He carried the cross, even though his body was ripped apart. This was from a true compassion and love from his heart. On the cross, where his body was nailed and bruised. Read; “THIS IS JESUS- THE KING OF THE JEWS!” As his mother watched, she cried and sobbed. As Jesus committed his spirit to his father-God. As they carried Jesus to the tomb that day, the crowds were silent— with nothing to say. Many had forgotten what the prophets had said, 3 days later—he would rise from the dead. He taught people his message of eternal life and love. Soon to return to his kingdom above. It was for you and me that our savior came. He waits for you to call on his name. Receive his gift of hope, love and eternal salvation. Please do it now—with no hesitation. His gift of love is for you to receive. All you have to do is simply believe! By Jim Pemberton 07/25/07
