1. Coming to Jesus Christ is making the greatest
choice of your life. Choosing Jesus Christ is to
choose a blessing instead of a curse.

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you,
that I have set before you life and death, blessing and
cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy
seed may live:

Deuteronomy 30:19

2. Coming to Jesus Christ is making the greatest choice
of your life. Choosing Jesus Christ is choosing to
walk through a narrow gate instead of a wide gate.

Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and
the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are
many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the
way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who
find it.

Matthew 7:13-14 (NASB)

3. Coming to Jesus Christ is making the greatest choice
of your life. Choosing Jesus Christ is choosing to walk
on a narrow way instead of a broad way.

Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the
way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many
who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is
narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

Matthew 7:13-14 (NASB)

4. Coming to Jesus Christ is making the greatest choice
of your life. Choosing Jesus Christ is choosing to
make God your Father instead of having the devil as
your father.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father
ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and
abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.
When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a
liar, and the father of it.

John 8:44

5. Coming to Jesus Christ is making the greatest choice
of your life. Choosing Jesus Christ is choosing life
instead of death.

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that
I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing:
therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

The Old Man and The Butterfly

There was an old man who lived in a certain village. This
old man was too old to work so he went around giving advice
to anybody who would listen to him. This old man was so wise
that everything he said was always true and everything he said
always happened.

The old man became richer and more popular as he went
around from town to town giving advice. One day he went to a
town where there was a little boy who heard him giving advice.
The young man also heard that the old man was always right
and that he never made any mistakes. But the young boy said to
himself, “This man cannot always be right. It cannot be that he
never makes a mistake. I am going to prove that he is not always
right.”

So he thought of a plan to prove that the old man was not
always right – and this was his plan:
He said to himself, “I will go to the wise old man with the
butterfly in my hand and I will say to the old man: ‘there is a
butterfly in my hand. Is it dead or alive?’.”
He continued, “If the old man says the butterfly is alive, I
will clench my fist and the butterfly will die. Afterwards, I will
open my hand and the old man will see for the first time that he
is wrong. If the old man says the butterfly is dead, I will open
my fist and let the butterfly fly away. He will then see that he is
wrong.”

The young man was convinced that with this plan he could
prove that the old man was not always right. So he caught a
butterfly and went to see the old man.

“Good afternoon old man,” he said, “I have an important
question to ask you.”
“Go ahead,” said the old man, “What is your problem?”
Then the young man said, “I have a butterfly in my fist.” Then
he stretched out his hand. “Is it dead or alive?”
There was silence. Then the old man smiled and answered,
“It depends on you.”
The young man was astounded at the old man’s answer
because the old man was right once again. “It depends on you”
was the right answer.

In the same way as the little boy decided “dead or alive” for
the butterfly, God has given us the choice today. Dead or alive –
it depends on you! To be saved or to perish: it depends on you!
Dead or alive: it depends on you! Heaven or hell: it depends on
you! God or the devil: it depends on you!
You have to choose. You must decide today whether you want
to go Heaven or hell.

6. Coming to Jesus Christ is making the greatest choice
of your life. Choosing Jesus Christ is choosing Heaven
as your final destination instead of hell.
