There was a land far away...
A good ruler lived in a small town with remote villages
around it. Some of the villages were so
small that the only way of communication was by a rough road, up the side of a
mountain. For many years the town and
its surrounding villages were at peace, but a new ruler from another town was
about to change that.
This foreign ruler was in route to the peaceful town with
threats of destroying all that he found in his way. The good ruler, aware of the impending doom
of his people as well as the surrounding villages; sent messengers to warn them. The villagers would not have known of the
approaching enemy, if the ruler in the town had not sent messengers beforehand.
In a similar way Jesus Christ has commissioned sent ones out
to the remote places of the world to warn of an enemy, and an impending
destruction. This enemy however is not
coming, but has come, and resides inside in the heart of every person that
lives - this enemy is your sin. But the good
news; is reconciliation to God through Jesus Christ for all that believe!
