Rotten

As I was driving through the neighborhood this morning I couldn’t help but notice the rotten pumpkins ready for the compost pile. Stinky, moldy, ugly, yucky pumpkins that were once beautiful and bright. 

Sin is ugly, stinky, and moldy! Man’s sin is like a rotting pumpkin. God sees that we are sinners and condemns us to the compost pile. It is only by His grace that He sent Jesus Christ to die on Calvary so that we would be saved from the compost pile of eternity. Man is like a rotting pumpkin. We are all sinners. If it weren’t for the blood of Jesus Christ we would all be headed straight for that big compost pile called hell

Do you know the definition of hell?

Hell is separation of God. A life without God is no life at all. Moreover, it is hell.

The bible says, that Jesus is the way to the truth and the life, No one comes to the Father but by Him (John 14:6). The only way that we will ever have God in our life, is to ask Jesus to live in our hearts.

I don’t know about you but I am thankful that Jesus died on the cross so that I did not have to be a condemned rotting pumpkin headed for the compost pile.

I really like this analogy because it is so true. Another possibility is that if a pumpkin isn't too far gone it can be turned into a pie. Perhaps one could say that is what Jesus Christ has done for us. Taken our sin...removed the ugliness and death of it...and replaced it with life and beauty.

Thank you for such a wonderful Post, it takes A Christ-like person to stand-out of the croud and uplift Jesus not only for what He can do for us but for what He already done for us on the Cross He took all of our sin and deseases with Him. I am thankful that God saved me, and delivered me from my rotten-past, He didn't have to do it but He did and I'll be forever be greatful.
It feels good to write.
