THE PUPPET, THE STRINGS AND THE SWORD

THE PUPPET, THE STRINGS AND THE SWORD

The Puppet is about Man who has become slaves to sin...

Each string symbolizes sin... Who enticed and deceived man? Satan... So the puppeteer is Satan... Telling man to do this and that... though man knows he should not do it, he still do it... HE becomes a slave to sin.. and the wages of sin is DEATH...

But there is hope... God can break your chains if you'll only allow Him to... The reason why Jesus died on the cross is to ransom us... We deserve death but God wants us to live with Him... and so He died in the cross for us... We should be the one crucified on that cross, but He died for us instead... for there is no other way for us to live.... A sinner cannot save another sinner... We cant save another man, our family, our friends... we cant even save ourselves... We need Someone BLAMELESS, SINLESS... That is Jesus Christ... A man only Jesus cant save us... But praise God... Jesus is God Himself in the flesh... God who empathize with us in our sufferings.. He understands us... When Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, there he felt what we felt whenever we are tempted... that's why he sweat blood... He knows our struggles... He was tempted but He never sinned....

There is hope people...

The other character is a Christian, a believer... We are accountable to God if we know someone, dying (spiritually), but we don't share to them the good news.... How can they believe if they don't hear.. and how can they hear if nobody will tell them???

The sword there symbolizes the Word of God (remember the Armor of God in Ephesians 6:10-18), the Sword of the Spirit...

Again, God can break our bondage if we'll only allow Him... All we have to do is ask His forgiveness, repent and believe... If we find it difficult to leave that sin, PRAY for God's strength to turn away from that sin and then RUN to God for refuge... Don't listen to Satan, Satan will always tell us that we couldn't make it, we cant change.... But God can change us...
