The fathers will provided everything would be sold off by auction to the highest bidder. But the father stipulated that the first item to go, on the block of all the treasurers he possessed was a picture, an oil painting of his boy. In keeping with the will of the father expressed in the first paragraph, the auctioneer held a portrait of the deceased boy, no one really cared about the picture, or the boy, or knew the artist.

And there were several moments of silence as no one bid. Finally an old servant who had served on the estate a number of years bid a miniscule amount 75 Cents. There were no other bids, the auctioneer said sold for 75 Cents.

And then a dramatic moment came, The Sale was stopped. Because the will had further provided that whosoever bought that picture would receive all the rest of the Estate. God is not unlike that man, it is not that we loved Him, but that He Loved us First and that whosoever believeth in His Son Jesus Christ, the Wrath of God no longer abides in you but the Gift of Eternal Life, The Love of the Father, the Fellowship with the Holy Spirit. For whosoever has the Son, has the Father as well.

For whosoever has the Son, has the Father as well. what a load of rubbish. to claim such a thing means the law of the son is more powerful than God. as christians claim it is only by a accepting jesus can we be saved. but I say God can save whoever God choses. |

Lets make up a story then attach special significant spiritual meaning to it as though it really happened.
