Love That Can't Be Matched

There's a man probably in his thirties sitting on a bench in the middle of a park. At first glance, you wouldn't think this man was secial, but he was. If you got to know him, you would find out that he was the greatest friend you could ever have. He's polite, smart, gentle, caring, a leader, and obedient. He serves others and teaches them even though he's rich and power. He gives up his time to be with the common people each day. Those who know him marvel at his constant attitude, but there are two people that this man loves more than anything. No one knew why He would love them. There's nothing to love. They're mean, selfish, prideful, scornful, foolish, and lustful. They have no love for the man despite the fact that the kind man has done a bazillion favors for them. They turn their back on him every time he invites them to come walking with him. They purposefully do things that digust him and purposefully follow the man's archenemy. All of the man's friends and family shake their heads and wonder why this man is so persistant. Then one day, the wise man sees his archenemy leading his friends into a trap. He was leading them to their deaths. Immediately, he runs over to where they are and shoves them to the ground before a huge mass of bullets comes pelting though the trees. The two selfish people stare stunned as the blood begins to pool around their Savior. Now, they've got two choices: run for their lives without the man or with him.
What would you choose? If you haven't fingured it out yet, the kind man is Jesus Christ, who gave up all to save you and die on the cross. The archenemy is Satan who draws people way to their deaths. He ruins their lives and then leaves them to die. The friends and family of the man are angels and Christians. As a Christian, I am baffled by the great love that Jesus exhibited to me when He saved me. He gave all for someone who's spit in His face and turned Her back on him. Finally, the mean girl and boy that the man loved is you. If you don't know Jesus, you've got a choice. He's died for you, and you can run away from Him and ignore His sacrifice or wrap your arms around Him and run away with Him by our side. Unlike humans, Jesus Christ came back to life. God the Father raised Him from the dead. If you choose to be a Christian, you are serving a man who can't be bound, not even by death.
