Antidote

Have you ever been poisoned? Or maybe had an overdose of some substance to the point where it threatened your life? While some might answer yes to that question, for most of us our answer is no. Or is it?

Examine the definition of poison - a substance that is capable of causing the illness or death of a living organism when introduced or absorbed.

Think about that for a minute. Poison is something absorbed or introduced into our bodies that causes death. Remember Adam and Eve in the garden? Eve was talking to the snake (Satan). He convinced her to eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. And what happened? Sin came into our lives. Sin = Death. They were poisoned!

The Apostle Paul writes ^"23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." - Romans 6:23. Each one of us, from Adam and Eve right on down the line, absorbs this world we live in. We are organisms absorbed in our sin and by sin. Sin is a poison in each of our lives. What we need is an antidote. Thank God there is one! His name is Jesus.

In the video at the end of this story Indiana Jones is poisoned by his rival. Indiana is desperate to get the antidote. Why don't WE all act that desperately when sin is poisoning u s?

We basically have two choices when we sin. We can do nothing and die, or we can't surrender ourselves to Jesus and live. Seems like a no-brainer to me but the choice is up to ys. I already have the antidote living inside of me. How about you?
