A member of a yakuza gang, unable to bear the weight of his sins…

A member of a yakuza gang, unable to bear the weight of his sins, visited a church.
...That's when he heard the story of Jesus' crucifixion.
The pastor suggested he consider it this way...🤔
...Your mind was filled with evil thoughts,
which is why Jesus wore the crown of thorns and shed His blood.
...Your hands hurt others...😢
which caused Jesus to drive large nails into His hands.
...Your feet went where they shouldn't have gone...
which caused Jesus' feet to be nailed...
...And because of the sinful thoughts in your heart,
which caused Jesus to be pierced in the stomach with a spear...😨
..."How about thinking of it this way?" he suggested...
...It's a very easy-to-understand parable!

There's no doubt that all the sins we commit with our entire being were the cause of Jesus' crucifixion...😱.
…Romans 10:10…
“There is no one righteous, not even one.”
It is written just as it says❗️.
All people have sinned…
That is why Jesus took your place…😨
He was crucified✝️.
…Those who believe in this historical fact✝️ and repent will be taken to heaven.

Shalom😃
