I picked this up at a funeral of a friend. It was written on a card found in his wallet.
HE WOULD HAVE RIDDEN A MOTORCYCLE
Jesus — THE BIKER
He was a lot like you and me. The government didn’t like him. The church thought he was weird. His friends were weird. His friends were few. What friends he did have denied him. He was persecuted by hypocrites. He hung around people like you and me, not the good-two-shoes Pharisees. Yes, if Jesus were on this earth in the flesh, he would be next to you on his motorcycle telling you he loved you…enough to die for you.
On the back:
JESUS
The Life Changer
You see, He knows that “all have sinned and come short of His glory.” He also knows that “the wages of sin is death.” That is why “while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” He even said, “If you confess with your mouth that ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”
The truth is, this simple decision of your heart can make, “old things pass away and all things become new.”
This would be a good time for you to give your heart to Jesus for a new start. Commit to Jesus. He’s committed to you.
I am very thankful for people who present the message of Jesus through non-traditional means.
Some of the guys in my church are reading a book by Bob Lepine in which he refers to something noted by Robert Lewis:
Real men, according to Lewis, reject passivity, accept responsibility, lead courageously and expect the greater, eternal reward. Lewis rightly asserts that the mantle of leadership laid on men is distorted by the Fall in one of two ways: either a man is a selfish abusive dictator or, more often, he is a passive follower who has surrendered his leadership responsibility to the women around him. — Lepine in The Christian Husband, p. 24
Truth.
