Story, That will Make you think...

Who would you trust to set you free?

There once was a woman who went to prison and she would give anything to breakout of jail. She constantly kept her eyes and ears open for an opportunity. She was talking one day to the mortician. Together they came up with a brilliant plan.

Every night someone died a bell would ring. The mortician said, next time you hear a bell ring, sneak down here and I will help you get into the coffin and in the morning the guards will bury you and I will come in an hour or so and dig you up and you will be free.

About a week goes by and the two of them never said another word about their plan to anyone. The woman finally hears a bell ring one night. She is so exited she sneaks down to the mortuary in the prison, finds the coffin and climbs in. In the morning sure enough the guards come and take the coffin to be buried. They slowly lower down six feet into the ground. Her sweat is now dripping from her face; she knows she is going to be free soon. After the coffin reaches to ground she heard the clumps of dirt fall of the coffin.

She lays there for about 4 hours which seem like a lifetime. She begins to question whether or not the mortician is going to come back and rescue her from the grave.
She lies there longer, as she is growing ever so scared now she remembers she has a match in her pocket. She shimmies her hand down by her pocket and grabs the match box and strikes the match. As the light shines she is able to see the body with whom she shares this coffin with……..

The LOUDEST blood curdling scream comes from her mouth.

The man she saw was the mortician lying next to her in the coffin. Her one savior is dead. He is in his grave, and can not save her.

He took the woman with him to his grave by making a promise of salvation.

Who do you trust to save you from your grave?

Only one Man has ever overcome the grave. Not John Smith, Not Confucius, Not Buddha, Not Mohamed. Only ONE. Jesus has overcome the grave. Don’t be caught in the same grave as the one you follow. Follow the one and only savior.
Jesus Christ.
