Story as promised

The kings only son

A whole nation bound to slavery... many have tried to help this nation, but all have failed.. week after week were they tortured and made to work sleepless nights... Whilst the king of the nation has tried his best to free the slaves. The captors of the nations people refused to let them go. They said, even your head is worthless to us! As time carried on the nation was thrown into disarray... not even worthy of being called of a nation anymore.. the king grew weary and wanted a way to redeem his country, yet nothing could be done.

Then one night... there was a huge celebration, joy filled the hearts of the nation, even though they were slaves to evil captors... a Son was born, and a great gift he was, as this was the one and only child of the king's, after many failed attempts... As the son grew up He went around encouraging people and spreading love and joy in the hearts of many.. even to the slave masters, and soon enough he gained favor even in the eyes of the salve drivers... production started to drop, and people were starting to have ordinary lives... nothing could be better... As time passed even the 70% of the captors loved to listen to this child speak words of encouragement in the hearts of many... yet the rulers of the city of Gillareth, whom were the captors, had realized that this is a bad sign, and that they would have to get rid of the boy as soon as possible, or else their nation will be converted and might even retaliate and cause a civil war... so the rulers of the city stepped on cautiously as they did not want any troubel form their own nation...

slowly they spreaded rumors about the King's son, to try to make a bad name for him, but even that tactic did not work... eventually they came up with the ultimate deal for the King, they said to the king, “ If you would have your son, handed over to us we shall set your nation and allies free from our clench” The king struggled and thought about it over and over... his retainers told him and advised him, not to agree, for this would be a foolish thing to do, they also told him that their allies did not deserve such a deal, for the allies had not helped in any way but cursed them and spat at them for being so useless... the King did not know what to do... for he loved his nation so dearly and his allies he appreciated for the help they have provided. At the end of the day he asked his son, “son I have a deal to set all these people free from the bonds of this evil nation but it requires you to be handed over to them”

The son replied,”Father, if it will make you happy to see this whole nation and this whole land and it's allies set free, I shall do it”

Filled with tears the king embraced his son tightly,”Good bye son.. I wish you all the best”,

then the king wrote back to the city rulers of Gillareth, “I shall do it, and you shall keep your promise!”

Then it was so.. that the kings son was handed over to the rulers of Gillareth, and news was spread around the whole nation of this doing... many thought how cruel was the king that he was to give his son away to these evil people.. others cried, as they saw how much they did not deserve the freedom through ones death.. especially through the king's only son's death.. For they knew that this nations intention was to kill the son. And so it was the son was beheaded... and the nation of Gillareth kept their promise and released the land and it's allies.. However the rulers doing of killing the son was their undoing.. and soon after their nation became weak and feeble only able to use their history to cause fear, and for those who did fall prey to their roaring, they consumed. But many stood strong and heard of what this king did. The City of Gillareth was now nothing but a lion which had been defanged.

John 3:16
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

A famous verse.. and this is exactly how this story relates... we were not God's people, we were sinners and bound to sin as slaves... and there was no where for us, we even were enemies of Him... or allies, but never in his nation, for his chosen ones were the Jews, so if you are a Jew God had chosen you first! Yet through much pains and suffering God gave us His only son, do die for us... so that we might all be redeemed! Jesus Christ died for us, even when we were still spitting in his face... cursing him, or moreover sinning!

Romans 5:8
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Yes... we are defiantly not worthy of such a death of a righteous and blameless man, yet for us, Jesus still choose to die. He exchanged places with us in this world of sin. So that we might be set free, then after that resurrected and justified us, by taking the keys of death and hades away!

Revelation 1:18
I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.

This is God's grace to us, and this grace was given freely for each and everyone of us, it is given as a gift!

Romans 6:23 23For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

And just by accepting the gift, we are able to stand in front of the defanged lion and proclaim that Christ's death has brought us victory!, and also be sure that God will not let you fail!

Philippians 1:6

6being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

Proverbs 21:31
The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the LORD.

1 John 5:4
for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.

1 Corinthians 15:57
But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

So stand assured bretherns and sisters Victory is by our side, coz God is with us never against us again! Even death has lost, coz of what Christ has done for us! Stand strong in your victorious battle! :)

1 Corinthians 15:55
"Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?"

God bless ya all,

Chris ::No matter how tough the battle seems, keep on fighting with the conviction that you have won::
