EZ. A good God allowed his only begotten Son, the creator of the universe, to be born in the most humiliating circumstances in a cattle shed and then be tortured and crucified and buried in a stranger’s grave. So what’s there to raise this issue of a “good” God?

All that for *YOUR* *BLOODY* SINS!!

Here’s what there is.

Do you have children?

Are they not, in a manner of speaking, your own Creation? Made in your likeness and image?

Would you be willing to die for your children?

Imagine there is a King and a Just Judge. One who must always judge with complete impartiality and honesty.

The Accuser brings before this King one of His own dear children, caught in an act worthy of death. What can the King do? To set the guilty free would be the gravest injustice that would shake the foundations of His Kingdom.

To condemn His dear child is more than He can bear.

What can He do?

The *ONLY* thing He could do to set His child free and to still effect Justice is to take the place of His dear child and suffer the penalty of Death in his child’s place.

Jesus did that for YOU.

Willingly.

He’s waiting for you now.

All you need to do is call upon His name, ask His forgiveness for sending Him to that torturous death, and ask Him to SAVE YOUR SOUL!

Do it!

You have *NOTHING* to lose and *ETERNAL BLISS* to gain!

And where were we? Adding sins to His burden.
