...What Does It Mean?
Here's my twenty second version of what this
all means. First there was God. God made the Earth. Then, Got put people on the
Earth. God gave the people some simple rules to keep them from hurting each other. But
the people decided it was more fun to hurt each other than to listen to God. The problem
was that the things people did had a high price. For doing the things they did, people would
have to die and then spend eternity in a place away from God (a.k.a. Hell). The people
quit listening to God and eventually tried to convince each other that God didn't exist and
Hell didn't exist. So, God did something about it. If the people wouldn't return his phone
calls, he'd have to pay them a visit. Jesus was born; God and man rolled into one. He spread the
message - "There is a God. There is a Hell. God still loves you and he doesn't want you to
go there." In fact, Jesus was not only the messenger, he was the one who'd make it possible
for people to go to Heaven instead of Hell. Jesus loves us all so much that he would do
whatever it takes to save us. He loves us EVEN THOUGH we're pretty unlovable sometimes.
Thus, I'm here to carry on the message... Jesus loves you ANYWAY.
Okay, so Jesus loves me. What can I do?
