GOSPEL NUGGET #366

The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

There is a growing movement circulating around in the internet, especially Facebook, about finding a cure for ALS or Lour Gehrig's disease. It is a fatal neurological disease that has no cure.

It is called the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Famous celebrities in their symbolic support to find a cure to freeze this disease would be poured water on using an ice bucket.

You know, a similar thing happened 2000 years ago. Unlike the symbolic gestures of these celebrities, the Lord Jesus actually poured His blood on account of our sins. He took the "challenge." He died on the cross to pay the penalty of our sin.

We are incurably sick spiritually and are in dire need of salvation. Anyone who trusts in Him and what He did on the cross alone for salvation will be spiritually cured...saved.
