Testimony 23/10/05: Then Jesus Didn’t Have to Die

“I want to hold my grandchildren,” said a woman. “I want to retire well,” said another.

“Then Jesus didn’t have to die!” replied a pastor.

The pastor was asking middle-aged women for the hopes they have for the rest of their lives. He was disappointed to find the answers. “If all you want is just to retire, relax, eat and drink… then Jesus didn’t have to die!”

What a profound truth! How many times do we find people saying: I want a rich husband. I want a big house. I want a good career. I want a BMW. I want to travel around the world. I want to live a long life…

Well… then Jesus didn’t have to die! What do you want? What is your purpose in life? Is it worth Jesus dying on the cross?
