A chance questioning

"Hi, how do you feel about being an earthling?"

"Huh? Well I guess it beats being a martian... or maybe not! I don't know, what are the other options?"

"Ah, you see, you could be set free from this body you know."

"LOL LOL, sure. An out-of-body experience you mean?"

"Hmm not quite out-of-body... more... out-of-the-world experience."

"LOL LOL so I should drop by NASA and sign up for a package tour or sth eh."

"Yeah you could do that, guess that counts as an out-of-the-world experience too. I've always wanted to be an astronaut actually. But thing is, you've gotta descend back on earth, which kinda sucks. And as for out-of-body experiences... you've got to return back to the body too what."

"So... your point is? LOL LOL you are damn weird."

"My point is that you could spend eternity joyful and content. You could be with the One you love the dearest, and for forever too. Now imagine being taken away from all that joy and peace, the heavenly riches stripped."


That's what Jesus Christ did, he had all the comforts that heaven contained stripped from him at one fell swoop. Then he suffered pains unimaginable, and all for us too. And Good Friday commemorates the death of Jesus on the cross, the day he stopped being well, an earthling.
