This is a true story. In the middle east an innocent man allowed himself to be executed for the crimes committed by others.
He willingly died a slow painful death so the people that rightly deserved the punishment for their wrong doing could be set free. Think about that, a man who was innocent willingly took the punishment for others. He died in their place.
All who accept his sacrifice will be set free. What kind of man would do that? Jesus Christ. Jesus died for you. He took the punishment you deserve. God loves you so much that He sent his one and only son, Jesus Christ to die in your place so that you may be forgiven for the wrong you have done and have everlasting life. (John 3:16).

My partner and I pulled our police cruiser up behind a car stopped on the shoulder of the highway. We got out and asked the driver if we could help.
No, he replied, there was no trouble; he had just stopped to look at a map.
When we turned back, we noticed that his German shepherd had jumped in the open passenger-side front window of our car.
"You may think there's no trouble," I smiled, "but your dog obviously thinks he's done something wrong. He's in our patrol car."
He laughed. "He probably thinks you've come to take him to work," he replied. "He's a retired police dog."
