Take it all

I once heard a story of a rich man that had one son that he loves. This man loved his son so much that he gave him everything. The man even supported his son artistic skills(for which he had none). The rich man loved his son so much that he praised his art work and framed one of his ugly pictures.

The son was called to war . The father sobbed and sobbed because he loved his son so much and did not want him to go. The father knew that the son had to go so he gave him a big send off. The son got killed in the war. His father was greatly grieved, and never really got over it. When the rich man died , he left his son's painting to be auctioned.

The auction started. The auctioneer said who is going to bid on this painting. He knew it was an ugly paintings so he said "can I get five dollars." There was not one taker wantinng the ugly painting. The auctioneer had to lower the bid. "Can I get one dollar for this painting." A man raised his hand I will give you one dollar for it.

The auctioneer hit the gavel in his hand and said "sold." He then said "sold to the man for one dollar". Then he quickly said" son you get it al"l. The man received all the riches of the rich man. The man loved his son that much to give the buyer everything he possessed simply because he bought the painting. He loved His son that much to give everything away.

You may be wondering what does this mean. It means that God has only one Son. God loved His son so much that He gave Him up so that others could receive all the benefits. The rights to the tree of life. We are the benefactors of Jesus life insurance policy. (yes,Getting excited.) (Me too,Me too) What are the benefits you may say. First there is salvation and eternal life. He also gave you abundant life to live. There is also healing, health,sound mind and body,peace love and so on..check it out it is in the word. Guess what I made the decision to get the benefits. They are great. I don't have to worry about Him going out of business or downsizing. Once He says it ,done deal. What about you....
