Dead Animals

In him was life; and the life was the light of men. (John 1:4)

You're not going to enjoy being called a dead animal. But that's what you are if Christ hasn't breathed life into you.

Why should you object? Don't you believe in evolution? Any doctor will tell you that you are a hairless ape. Some monkey is your uncle. So don't get mad at me. I'm just saying what all the great scientists are telling us.

How could the majority of great scientists be wrong? You're a smart ape. Get used to it.

But why are you dead? Because you don't have the Life of God in you. Your body is winding down. You're getting wrinkles. You're getting tired more often. Start your funeral plan early. Caskets and plots are expensive these days.

Maybe you're the type that wants to live. Maybe you would like to live forever—in the body yet!

This is what the Christian salvation is all about. It's how to escape the cycle of nature and start on the graph that's climbing toward eternity.

Into the spiritually dead zoo strides the Son of God, eternally alive, with the keys of death and Hell in His mighty grasp. Fortunately for you and me He is willing to share His Divine glory.

Listen! Forget what you have heard about religion. There is a Man! His name is Jesus! He sits on the highest throne in the universe! He possesses all authority and power in Heaven and on the earth!

It's true. I've got better things to do than to write lies to you. I wasn't raised in church. God called me in a supernatural way. I'm just being obedient. I would rather be out in the woods than doing religious stuff.

I'm telling you that this Jesus is alive! I've been at this thing for fifty-two years and while I am not overly intelligent I can see that the things that have happened when I pray have not been random. There's design here.

I'm glad of it. Our whole world seems to be filled with liars. Everyone is out for his own. The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. It's a mess. It's disgusting and repulsive.

But there is Someone worth living for. His name is Jesus. He doesn't lie. He is faithful. He came to bless the poor especially.

He is alive and He is eternal Life! You and I are dead baboons until the Man breathes Divine Life into us. Then He—Christ—is born in us. We not only are eternally alive but we also have become a child of God, not just an orangutan that can read.

It's for you, and the offer won't last forever.

Grab it now while you have the chance. The Christian way is not easy because you have to follow the Lord each day and do what He says.

But I'm here to tell you it's the only show in town!

Get a life—eternal life.
