My
Best Friend
|
|
|
Once Andrew
came across a shop where puppies were sold, Andrew got very
much interested when he saw some puppies there. His attention
was drawn towards a puppy tied in a corner of the shop.
Why is it tied here? he asked
|
|
It
is not for sale, one of its legs is crippled. It is to be thrown
somewhere in a bush on return after the shop is shutdown,
the shop keeper said.
I want this, he said
Hai, nay, here good puppies only are sold, the shopkeeper
said.
Finally being insisted, he agreed to give him the crippled dog.
Given the money he had with him to the shopkeeper, he said,
this is an advance. Before evening I will give the balance
and would take the puppy.
Evening he came with the balance money. As he took the puppy
and begin to walk, the shopkeeper asked, after paying
the lumpsum price, why are you taking this crippled one?
He turned back, after having a look at the crippled leg of that
puppy for a moment; he lifted up his pant at his right leg.
It was an artificial leg fitted in his right leg, beneath the
knee of that Youngman
The shopkeepers lips were
getting shuddered; the eyes got filled; two drops of tears were
oozed down to the currency notes in the hands
He was about
to tell something to the youngman. But by the time he had already
walked ahead.
|
This
youngman who showed pity to this puppy is a good friend.
But would he have given his life, if it was needed instead
of money?
Jesus said Greater love hath
no man than this, that a man laydown his life for his friends.
(John 15:13)
He is the right friend who gives his life for his friend
in order to save his life, without any selfish motive. Many
times, dont we cherish if we would have such a friend? |

I
am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his
life for the sheep (John 10:11).These
are the words of Jesus. Jesus gave his life as a
ransom to redeem the entire mankind who went astray
from God and got into the clutches of Satan resulting
in sin. Because the Bible says: there is none
righteous, no, not one; for there is no difference:
for all have sinned and come short of the glory
of God (Romans 3:23).
|
|
|
| So
Jesus took death on himself on behalf of mankind in order
to save them from eternal damnation which is the wages of
sin. Yes, Jesus decided to loose his life for the sake of
yourself. |
 |
|
 |
But
he was wounded for our transgressions
(Isaiah 53:5).
Like this Jesus, the best friend took by himself over the
punishment which was due to us. He died in our place, removed
punishment and curse and he (Jesus)
resurrected on the third day.
If
we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive
us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness
(1John 1:9). |
|
|
If
you pray to Jesus to forgive your faults and sins, Jesus
the best friend will forgive you. From today onwards pray
to Jesus deciding to become a good individual. Jesus the
best friend will help you out in
all your problems.
Jesus
the best friend, I believe, you died in calvary for the
atonement of my sin. Please forgive my sins. Please, you
come into my life from now on.
