Free Give-away

"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23)



This week, the LittleFreeLibrary is offering free copies of The Schoolhouse based on the true story of Elsie Thomas as told in a 1955 letter she wrote describing her adventures as a young teacher at a one-room schoolhouse in the 1916 Tennessee Mountains. Despite the fact that the book is a free gift, only a handful of folks will take one.

What sorrow God must feel when His free gift of eternal life by faith in His Son, Jesus, is refused. 

Rejected. 

Declined. 

Turned down. 

Brushed aside. 

Given the cold shoulder. 

Jesus explained: "You can enter God's Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gate to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it (Matthew 7:13-14). For I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me (John 14:6)."

Pastor Chris Hodges: "Heaven is where people choose Jesus to pay for their sins. Hell is where people choose to pay for their own."

Have you taken Jesus, God's free gift, to heart, beloved?
