Hello everyone. Praise the Lord!
One cold September day in 1944, a American prisoner of war in Germany received a Red Cross package in the mail. In it, there was food and a Monopoly game. The soldier was so hungry that all he could think about was the food, so he quickly ate the food.
In the dim light that came from the window of his barracks, he saw the special Monopoly game he had placed on the bed. Before he went to war, he was told that the Monopoly game would have tools to escape.
Hidden behind the picture of a dog was a magnetic compass. Hidden behind the picture of a red hotel was a tiny silk map of his region of Germany. It had details of the location of his camp and directions on where he could expect to find help. Under the fake money, he found real French, German and Italian money!
He found all the things that he needed to make his escape! Each of us is trapped in the Prisoner of War camp of “sin” but all heaven is working on our behalf to set us free! Someday soon, sin and wars will cease. Jesus will come and take the faithful people to heaven and they will have eternal life.
When we accept Jesus as our personal Savior and obey the Plan of Salvation found in the Book of Acts 2:38, and reflect the love of Jesus, we can have eternal life!
