Letter to my son

My son,

Inasmuch as I have given you life, I have also given you selfishness and pride.

Inasmuch as God has given you life, He has given you freedom from these deadly, poisonous, woeful chains.

I have given you a life that leads to death. It is the only life I am capable of giving you. I got it from my father, who got it from his.

Jesus will give you a death that leads to life. He gives it out of His own hand. His supply will never ever run out, and he gets giddy giving it out. He loves to dole it out!

I hope that when you look at me, you see a man alive to Christ & dead to sin!
