There was a man
There was a man who spent most of his time in the County Jail and as he progressed in his bout against the law he
ended up in the State and Federal Penitentiary.
This young man found Jesus while serving time. Upon his release he decided to visit and later join a local church in his
community. When he arrived at the church he was greeted by a member of the welcoming committee.The person
stated " I have not seen you in this community before." The young man said " I have spent most of my life in prison."
The church member said " I do not think you would like it here". and he escorted him to the door.
The young man sat on the steps and began to cry and asking God "Why was he being treated the way he was and
being refused membership?" Yet while he was talking, there appeared a vision of Jesus and a voice stated " Do not be
concerned I have tried to get into this church for over 2,000 years."
You may think that this is a joke, however, try entering into one of these who's, who churches where the people's love
for God has waxed cold and you will see what I mean.
