WHEN THE WORLD STARTED, MAN AND GOD WERE REALLY

GOOD FRIENDS, AND NOTHING GOT IN THE WAY OF THEIR

RELATIONSHIP...

1 Corinthians 1:9

God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. (NKJV)

BUT ONE DAY, MAN DECIDED HE COULDN’T CARE LESS, AND WITHOUT THINKING THREW SOMETHING INTO THE TUBE...

1 John 3:4

Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. (NKJV)

AND BEFORE LONG THE FRIENDSHIP WAS BROKEN BECAUSE THE TUBE WAS CLUTTERED UP WITH RUBBISH. THEY WERE NO LONGER ON SPEAKING TERMS, AND IT BROKE GOD’S HEART.

Isaiah 59:2

But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, So that He will not hear. (NKJV)

BUT GOD WOULDN’T LEAVE IT AT THAT SO HE HUMBLED HIMSELF AND BECAME A MAN...

... AND CLIMBED OVER THE FENCE, CARRYING A LARGE,

EMPTY SACK.

1 John 4:9

In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. (NKJV)

AND HE BEGAN TO COLLECT UP ALL THE RUBBISH FROM THE TUBE AND PUT IT IN THE SACK. BEFORE LONG IT WAS ABSOLUTELY CLEANED UP, BUT MAN GOT ANNOYED WITH HIM...

John 1:29

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! (NKJV)

SO MAN MURDERED HIM, AND SINCE THE MYSTERYMAN WOULDN'T LET GO OF THE SACK, HE NAILED IT UP WITH HIM.

Isaiah 53:5

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. (NKJV)

IT WAS THREE DAYS LATER AND MAN WAS FEELING PRETTY LOW ABOUT THINGS, WHEN SOMEBODY TAPPED HIM ON THE SHOULDER AND SAID “HOW ABOUT TURNING AROUND?”

HOW ABOUT YOU?

1 Peter 3:18

For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, (NKJV)

Is this you?

1 John 1:9

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (NKJV)

I love you...
