Would you really die for the person you love? Literally die? The saying " I would die for you" is easy to say, but when push came to shove could you really do it. I'ts hard to fathom that an ordinary man would die for us, give his own life in unbearable pain to pay for our selfihness, greed, and plain stupidness. Yet did he really want to. He cried sweats of blood before he was arrested. He must have been stressed to the max and yet he still obeyed Gods command. So we too as christains are called to die. Physically? No. We are to die to sin. To take up our cross daily our burdens our hardships and follow Him. So how do we do it? Sure it's easy for a day to be devoted to God. To say ok God today I'm going to follow you and nothing is goingto go wrong. Eventually we mess up. We fall and our cross of hardships falls crashing on our bodies. Most ppl including me decide its to hard and give up. But there has to be a point when we decide to stand up again, and we are not alone. Jesus is right there helping us and when we decide to let him take up our cross for us it is a lot easier. So friends and fellow brothers and sisters in Christ I am begging you and pleading with you to take up your cross and let Jesus be in control of your life. Lets remember what he did for us and never forget. God bless all of you.

yeah fred... you did pretty good... i still think i liked the first big one the best.. but that's just me... anyways... time for a relevant comment... i think i can honestly say that i would give up my life for someone else, and not just my wife, or my family, or really close friends... i've always kind of envisioned myself dying taking a bullet for someone... as much as it scares my wife, and as morbid as envisioning your own death sounds... i don't know... i know that people say there's no greater honour than to die for your faith, but i disagree... john 15 says there's no greater love than when you lay your life down for a friend... i think the word friend applies to more than just whoever you know... but that's just my take on it... maybe i'm on crack... maybe i'm a genius... either way... that's what i think... and now you know... the rest of the story
sometimes people realize it doesn't make sense or that it's not worth it in a real sort of way and therefore tend to "give up" or move on. Stories are stories...and whether or not they're true...
some stories would be great if they were found to be true, and REAL, but most are not. Like the homework I need to do now..that's reality. Although it's not that great...
But to say that someone would honestly die for another person, I'd say it could happen. But the amount or extent to the idea of what Jesus did, even to think aobut it or write it, it doesn't make sense, and it isn't a rational thing...but hey...it could be true...we'll see won't we...
