“For this is My blood
of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.”
Matthew 26:28
In 1829 George Wilson was adjudicated guilty
and given the death sentence for murder. But Wilson had some friends who
petitioned President Andrew Jackson for a pardon.
Jackson granted the pardon, and it was brought to prison
and given to Wilson. To everyone’s surprise, Wilson said, “I am going to hang.”
There had never been a refusal to a pardon, so the courts
didn’t know what to do. Discussion went all the way to the Supreme Court, and
Justice John Marshall gave this ruling: “A pardon is a piece of paper, the
value of which depends upon the acceptance by the person implicated. If he does
not accept the pardon, then he must be executed.”
God loves you and wants to pardon you, but if you refuse
Him, you will die and go to hell. Cast yourself upon Him completely, and
receive the free gift of His forgiveness today.
Have you repented
of your sin and believed upon the atoning work of Christ’s blood on the cross?
Being good doesn’t get you to heaven. It is only Jesus.
Endeavour no to crucify Jesus Christ once again by your
persistent sins and adulterous way.
Be holy for He is Holy.
