Wednesday I am teaching to my Youth group. I have what I want to talk about. I'm going to talk about the healing of Christ. How Christ can take your troubles away and you can become clean.
So, here's what I need. I want to do an analogy about good works and faith. Here's my analogy "Have you guys ever heard of good works get's you to heaven?" Knowing them they're going to say yes, or raise their hands. Then I'm going to tell them how hard it is to get to heaven on good works alone. "Here's how difficult it is to get to heaven on good works alone. There's a catch though, you only get one chance! Take a ladder descending from heaven, it's a very weak ladder by the way. It has a max weight limit of 5lbs. Knowing yourself you're going to try to climb it, even though your a 500lb fat man. Remember, you only get one chance!" Then I'm going to go on and say. "So, you've attempted to climb the ladder, and you failed. Now you are doomed to hell. But! There came a Man 2000 years ago who died and resurrected to give you a new way. This new way is not a ladder, or stairs. No working is needed because he's done all the work for you. All you have to do is say "YES!" And you will be lifted up to the place where the King awaits."
I heard from someone Jesus gave this analogy, or a similar one. Can you guys give me the Old testament and New testament location. Please!
