My Christian short story.
 
For most of my life I tried to run from God and his Son Jesus. I tried to fill the void in my heart with everything this world can offer. Jesus was
calling me to the cross, but I just kept running. Why was I running from love and forgiveness? Why did I fight to open my heart to Jesus?
I went to the movie " The passion of the Christ " when it was released. I watched as they struck Jesus, put the crown of thorns on his head.
Then they whipped Jesus to the edge of death. They nailed Jesus to the cross and raised him up. The tears ran down my face and my heart
opened to the man on the cross. Jesus dies and then three days later he rose to sit at the right hand of God.
The movie is loved and hated. Why did I need a visual account of what happed to Jesus to accept his love? I don't really care why. The void is
gone now. It is filled now with the love that only Jesus can give. I thought there was no forgiveness for a person like me. Jesus went to the
cross for us because he loves us. There is forgiveness at the cross. " Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord will be saved."
