Who Sold Jesus Christ First You Or I
62HOW MUCH DID YOU SELL THE LOVE OF JESUS FOR TODAY?
A STORY OF MAN AND HIS BENCH:
WHILE YOU READ THIS STORY FIGURE OUT IF IT IS A TRUE STORY OR NOT!
I was walking from my office one day and saw a man sitting on bench!
As I got closer to him I noticed he smelt horrible!
His clothes were dirty and they had holes all in them! I saw a man of much poverty!
I looked at him and he looked at me!
Our eyes locked and as soon as I noticed eye contact I looked away quickly, praying that he would not ask me for anything!
As I continued to walk down the road, I saw a Mother with two little boys.
I noticed that one of the children was bouncing a ball then the other child ran to catch the ball
What I saw next was a nightmare before my very own eyes:
The other boy charged to get the ball!
He was so excited showing off that he did not pay attention to his surroundings!
As he turned around to get his footing to catch the ball,
He saw the bus and the bus ran right over him!
Nothing was left of that little boy, not even a breath to say goodbye!
I began to freak out, frantically I screamed!
I ran to the limp lifeless child; seeing that he had passed on, I knew that I had to help his Mother and brother!
As I wiped the little boys blood off my hands,
I paused and said a silent prayer asking God to help this family who was just robbed of someone they loved dearly!
The mother tried to run to her child, however, I stopped her and begged her not to go, I told her that he had gone home to be with Lord!
The mother collapsed in my arms!
The emergency personnel came, and as saddened as I was I prayed for the family and went to my home!
Two or three weeks had went by and I could hardly sleep or eat!
I would beg God for comfort but yet I could find none!
I prayed desperately to God, begging him to help the grieving family!
One day, as I laid my head down to try and get rest, I guess out of pure exhaustion I had finally fell in a deep sleep!
I began to dream of the tragic accident!
The dream kept playing over and over in my head!
I could remember the dream as if it was happening all over again!
But something I could not understand:
The old man that sat on that bench kept appearing in the dream and as the it would play over and over he would be there too, sitting lonely and quietly on the bench!
I awoke screaming and terrified of the nightmare!
I got myself together and began to pray to God to please let this memory dissipate!
This is when the mighty Lord spoke and said:
My child you have asked me to let this memory from your thoughts go away, but yet you do not understand what I am trying to show you!
That little old man that does not leave your thoughts, nor your dreams, was in the same situation as the boy who died that same day!
Yet you walked away from him, Insulted by his smell and frightened at his look!
This man had no friend and no food to eat,
Yet the saddest thing was, the Lord spoke boldly:
You sold my unconditional love away!
Both needed my love, yet you ran to the obvious and left the unknown alone!
Death of loneliness was was upon that little old man!
Later that day he committed suicide.
No one cared to run to him because of his condition!
He died lonely, buried in an unknown grave.
No one could find his loved one's until the day the mother of his children read the paper and saw his picture and realized that very day she lost her son and her husband in a very bad way!
The Lord went onto say:
The saddest part of this is all is you sold my unconditional love away, both needed my love, but yet you put conditions on my love and ran to the obvious and left the unknown poor alone!
Though my words are harsh, and my wrath is great, my love is sufficient and I forgive you now go and find your way!

Sadly, i think that most of us have been guilty of doing this very same thing, more than one time, during our lives. There was a time, that i went out of my way to help others. Lately, i have been so busy, doing other things, that i have neglected to help other people. So i will change that, and make an effort to help others again.
I know I have been guilty of that! Where fear sometimes grasps up, pride will do the rest when approaching the homeless or folks like this. Very very good reminder of what it is we were created to do; it isn't about us, it is about HIM. Servicing others, showing love, working to spread the kingdom of heaven in a kingdom of sin.
Thank you so much for sharing this piece!
I don't know if this scenario actually took place or not, but I do not see any failure in it on your part. I say this because I have worked, in the past, with the homeless and I am fully aware of their plight and that plight is not what it appears to be on the surface and what we see with our eyes - eye contact or no eye contact.
I trust this helps.
I am at a loss for words. I know this is a grief to you and in time the Lord will heal your heart. He does not want us to turn away any man.But I know we are all guilty of it! I do not care if they smell or look bad. If I have some change and they ask, I give it. I once boldly walked up to this veteran in a wheelchair, handed him a christian saying and told him Jesus loved him. I am mousy and quiet and it was not like me at all, but it was the Spirit of my Father speaking through me. Lady G. No one owns Christ but due to the fact this man's pain is great right now, your words are not of God or are they conforting. That is the heart of Christ, to give comfort. I do know this, I belong to Jesus. He can't be bought, but He sure bought me!
Great hub,..It brought up questions in my mind and made me reflect a little,..and that is a good thing.
This is not a true hub however was written to show the reflection of many Christians that choose who they truly will help and walk past the others that just do not fit their critera! God says that we must love everyone as well as strive to be Christ like! This hub was intended to show that so many times we walk past people out of fear when they truly depended on our help to save their life! Many times we are blinded by our beliefs of ignorance that we truly will not love others unconditionally!

This is touchy. Really touchy. I was touched and moved. I am guilty. In January 2008 I asked God to please grant me the wisdom to assist people in need. That year I had the largest request from people to assist. I did as much as I could. In January, 2009 I again asked God to grant me the wisdom and financial empowerment to continue to assist the needy. It has not been easy. I have had to give even to my own detriment. I pray God to empower me financially. There are people out there that are hungry, dieing, and needs our love and care. Thank you for this hub and remain blessed.
