I was going through my cell phone trying to clean up some space, like most of us do or have to do from time to time, and I ran across a note that I had saved from 2013. I read through this "story" - author unknown - again and it's just as powerful today as the first day i saved it.
So the question to you after you read it, is where do you stand? On the left, the right, or have you decided to make your decision later? That too is a decision. Later is not promised to any of us. I would say, "Won't you let Jesus into your heart TODAY?" Share your comments.
There was an incredibly large group of people assembled. On one side of the group stood a man, Jesus. On the other side of the group stood another man, Satan. Separating them, running through the group was a fence.
The scene set, both Jesus and Satan began calling to the people in the group and, one by one, each having made up his or her mind, each went to either Jesus or Satan.
This kept going, and eventually Jesus had gathered around him a group of people from the larger crowds, as did Satan. But one man joined neither group. He climbed the fence that was there and just sat down on it. Then Jesus and his people left and disappeared. So too did Satan and his people.
And the man on the fence sat alone.
As this man sat there, Satan came back, and appeared to be looking for something that he'd lost. The man said, "Have you lost something?" Satan looked straight at him and replied, "No, there you are. Come with me."
"But," said the man, "I sat on the fence. I chose neither you nor Him.
"That's okay," said Satan. "I own the fence."
