"That's the Man Who Died For My Sins" 

True Story 

There was this boy who was mentally handicapped with a speech impediment. He could only speak two words at a time. There was this Christian who worked with handicapped children, who took notice of the boy. 

He noticed that the boy, where ever he went, kept carrying with Him a picture of the Lord Jesus knocking on the door. And so, he sat beside him and asked him about the picture: "Who is the Man in the picture?" 

"A Man" was the reply.

"Yes, I know it's a Man, but what Man?" he probed.

"You know," the boy replied.

"But tell me who is the Man?" he insisted. 

"You know," said the boy with a speech impediment.

After several attempts to try to get the boy to articulate to him who was in the picture exactly, finally, the boy replied: "That's the Man that died for my sins."

When it comes to almost everything else, he could but utter two words, but, when it comes to this Man, he was finally able to say "That's the Man who died for my sins." 

How about you my friend? We all have a handicap, a spiritual one. Do you know this Man? Can you say, with faith in your heart "That's the Man who died for my sins?"
