Imagine for a second that you were a dirty, wretched criminal who was just released out of prison on bail. You decide that this is the life that you would live forever and so you go out and look for someone else to be your next victim in crime.
You go to a peaceful man who has done absolutely no wrong to you or anyone else. You see that physical he has small stature, so you decide to beat him and rob him for all that he has. So that is exactly what you do. You and some of your friends go and beat this man so terribly to where he dies. Dies. However, the judge lets a jury decide your sentence and they find you innocent on the count that this man claimed to be this great king.
However, three days later, you see this man, along with everyone else, alive and going to be on his throne to judge all who persecuted him. You see, he was a king and always did have the final say. But miraculously, you gave you and everyone else an option. He said that if you believed that he rose and admit that you went against him and ask for his forgiveness, you would be forgiven. However, if you did not, you would have an eternal price to pay.
Guess what, this story did happen, just not with these exact details. Jesus was, is, and always will be King and He does give all of us that Glorious option of Salvation through the Gospel! Christ did die and was risen from the dead three days later so that those that accept Him may come to the Father at the end for eternity! This is Salvation! This is the Gospel!
