Good Friday: What’s “Good” About It?

By Pastor John W. WattsFirst Protestant Community Church, Fort Lauderdale, FloridaFri., Mar. 25, 200…

Christianity

  • Lesson of the Snake

    This very short and enlightening story is like a parable from the Bible. It teaches that it's never to late to learn a lesson in life... especially if it can save a life...-

    ---- Author unknown

    A man was in his cabin in the middle of a terrible snow storm when he heard a feeble scratching at his door.

    He opened it to see a half frozen rattle snake on his doorstep begging to be let in from the bitter cold.

    The man said to the snake, “I’m not going to let you in! You’re a rattle snake and you’re going to bite me!”

    “No I won’t,” hissed the snake. “Just bring me in and get me warm and I’ll be your friend for life.”
