Prison Break- a popular hit T.V. show, that has taken America by storm. The redeeming story of one brother who intentionally commits a crime to get into prison, to rescue his brother from facing the death penalty for a crime that he didnt commit. Very noble, commendable, even by our standards. A brother who is willing to put his life on hold, willing entering a world of degenerates, and lowlifes, as one person put it the "worst of the society" to rescue his brother. I think the reason many like this show is becasue they wish to believe that if they were in the same situation they would hope that someone, would do the same thing for them. We all wish that someone would put their lives on the line to help us, rescue us, to break us out of prison should we need it. Especially if we were unjustly accused and sentenced to a life inprisonment or even worst a death sentence. Well someone already has, and did, and the most amazing thing about it is that we weren't innocent, we were guilty, Guilty as charged.

How could this be? Its simple, see it all began in the beggining. Adam and Eve, yes those two, whose pictures we always see with fig leaves covering their privates. It was them, but then again it was all of us, any one of us in that situation, would have would have done it. Done what you ask? Well you see they lived in paradise, they walked with God, had a relationship with God that we can only dream of. God created all this, the world, and everything in it for them, and all they had to do was follow one simple rule, not to eat fruit from the "Tree". See in the middle of Paradise was a tree, and they were commanded not to eat of it. They could have the fruit from every other tree in pradise except for that one. Sounds like a good deal right, one tree no, all the rest yes. So to make a long story short(if you want to dive deeper read Genensis 1-3) they both decide to eat from that one tree disobeying God and sinning agaist him. So what happened, well a wise person once said to me once that we all are a sum of all of our choices, and every one else's choices as well. To sum it up, the choice that Adam and Eve made to eat of that tree has been felt through out all of humanity. Original Sin. Because of the choice they made, and again I say they but we can all interchange they, for we, you , me, because again I stress, that all of us in that situation would have made the same choice too, but because of that choice Adam and Eve made we all are guilty, we all have sinned, and we all have a consequence to pay for that Sin. In essence, we were thrown in to prison awaiting a death sentence. Why? Cause the wages of sin is DEATH, it says it in Romans.


So we are awaiting this death sentence, sort of like the brother who got frame in the T.V. show Prison Break. The only difference is that he was innocent, and we are Guilty!!!


So who is the one who will put his life on the line for us, who is the brother who will willingly get imprisoned to break us out. Well check out my next post as I will get into detail about it or you could visit S.A.L.T. youth group on Fridays over the next four weeks as we will be covering the most amazing prison break story in history. The most mind boggling thing is that its still going on today.
