Thankyou Jesus!

He performed a miracle.You say "who cares?"
He publically speaks.You do not listen.
He dies for you.You show no remorse.
He rises from the dead.You shrugg it off.
He loves you.You do not care.
He's calling you.You do not listen.
He simply wants you to repent and love him....is that too much to ask?

Jesus is AWESOME. Yesterday was Good Friday. Yes it was another day off of school, and yes you could sleep in and go to the mall or watch T.V. and sit at the computer all day, but there is a better meaning behind the day.
On Good Friday, a man was found guilty even though he wasn' in fact he had done absolutely nothing wrong his whole life and given the worst punnishment that people had in Roman times; crucifixion. He was crucified at 9:00 a.m., died at 3:00 p.m, and had darkness come around the Earth at 12:00 p.m.
A MAN WHO HAD LIVED A SINLESS LIFE WAS CRUCIFIED, HANGING ON A CROSS WITH NAILS PIERCED THROUGH HIS HANDS, ONE NAIL PIERCED THROUGH BOTH FEET. A CROWN OF THORNS FORCED ONTO HIS HEAD. HE HAD BEEN MOCKED AND WHIPPED. A SPEAR WAS FORCED THROUGH HIS SIDE. PEOPLE SPAT AT HIM AND THEY EVEN PUT A SIGN ABOVE HIS HEAD THAT SAID "KING OF THE JEWS." NOBODY FORCED JESUS TO DO THIS. HE WAS GOD, HE COULD HAVE PUT A STOP TO IT AT ANYTIME. BUT HE DIDN'T. HE VOLUNTARILY HUNG ON THAT CROSS FOR A REASON.
YOU!
Jesus hung on that cross and gave up his life so that you could have life. If he hadn't died that night, you would have been eternally punished for your sin. He provied a way out for you. An escape from this world. A ticket to Heaven. And do you know what, he GAVE it to you. It's free. You cannot do anything to get it. Not good works, not going to church, NOTHING. Just take it.The good thing is that like He said, He rose again the third day.He ascended into Heaven, and He's coming back again to bring those who have recieved the ticket to Heaven. If you have taken it, you will spend eternity with Jesus your savior, father, and creator in Heaven.ETERNITY. That means forever. Once you are saved and you step into the hands you can never step out. Even if you want to! If you haven't taken it, you will spend eternity with Satan, the Devil, your enemy, in darkness and pure torture worse than anything you can even begin to imagine in Hell.
AND THAT'S A FACT.
So, what are you gonna do?

If you would like to take the ticket, please pray this prayer:

Dear God,
I love you forever,
I want to do your will,
I long to be on the “winning” side
I believe that you died on the cross for my sins,
Came to earth as a baby,
I don’t have to be a good person or do good works to get to Heaven,
I believe that you rose again on the third day and stayed on earth for 40 days
then ascended,
I realize that I have sinned,
I repent them,
I love you Lord,
I want to do your will,
I want to be on the willing side,
And as of ____time_____, day__, ________month,_date,_ year
i am!!!!

AMEN!

Now, this is not a universal prayer of salvation it just happens to be the one that I prayed for my rededication when I was unsure of my eternal destination. To get to Heaven you do not have to pray this prayer specifically, but you do need to tell God that you're a sinner , repent and ask forgiveness of your sins. Give yourself over to him, and BELIEVE. And don't forget to invite him to live in your heart.

If you prayed this prayer, than I would like you to comment or find a way to talk to me. i'll pray for you and just keep living for Jesus. If you need a good church you can come to Brown Street Baptist Church, which is my church.

And for all of you who came to camp with me this summer, don't forget to say "Thankyou Jesus!"
