What Happened?
By: Veronica Wood
Today a little baby girl
arrived in Heaven,
her mind in a state of bewilderment.
One moment,
she was safe and warm in
her mother's womb.
The next, screaming silently
in agony as her tiny body
was tortured and torn.
"Mommy, Mommy,"she cried.
"Why is this happening to
me? Have I been bad,
to deserve this pain?"
Suddenly, all pain stopped;
the little girl had died
and was tossed aside.
The little baby girl opened her eyes.
Standing before
her was a man with outstretched
arms, waiting
for her to come to Him. She ran to Him,
and as He picked her up, asked Him:
"What happened, why do
you have holes in
your hands?"
The man only smiled tenderly at her.
He began to carry her around,
showing her things in this
wonderful place she
had never seen before.
Then He spoke. "My name is
Jesus, He said,
and since you do not have a name,
I will give you one.
Your name will be Lisa. See
all these children here?
They were like you, coming
here before they had
names.
So, I chose names for all of them.
After Lisa thanked Jesus for her name,
she again asked Him: "what
happened, why do
you have holes in your hands?
" Again, Jesus
only smiled.
Lisa had many questions, and as they
continued to walk around,
she began to ask them.
" Jesus, what happened to
me? Did I do something wrong
for my mommy
to do what she did to me?
I never even got to
see her face. Was my mommy pretty?
And, Jesus, What happened, why
do you
have holes in your hands?"
Jesus just
smiled sadly at her as he put
her down to play.
Jesus sat watching His
children playing.
" How beautiful they are,
He thought, all so
different, unique, and oh,
so innocent!"
Lisa glanced at Jesus sitting there,
looking so sad. She stopped
playing, went over to Him
and asked,
" Why so you look so sad?
Is it because
of the holes in your hands?"
Jesus smiled and answered:
"I will explain
that to you in a way I know you
will understand.
A long time ago, I went
through a lot of
indescribable, unbearable pain.
My body was
beaten and tortured as I cried
and screamed.
I knew I had done nothing
to deserve this pain,
just as you had dond
nothing to deserve the
pain you had endured.
I took the stripes on my
back, and I was
nailed to a tree. Long spikes
were driven through my feet,
and yes, through my hands.
I suffered all
this so you would never have
to feel any kind
of pain ever again. More important,
I did
this with Lisa on my mind, because
I love you so very much."
Lisa wrapped her little arms around
Jesus' neck and hugged Him.
She looked up at Him with tears
in her eyes and said,"I love
you very much,
Jesus, and I thank you for
helping me to
understand, that I am the
reason, for the
holes...in your hands."

Four Questions on Abortion
Woud you consider abortion
in the following 4 situations?
1. There's a preacher and
wife who are very, very poor.
They already have 14
kids. Now she finds out she's
pregnant with the 15th.
They're living in
tremendous poverty. Considerng
their poverty and the excessive
world population,
would you consider recommending
she get an abortion?
2. The father is sick with sniffles, the
mother has TB. They have 4 children.
The first is blind, the second
is dead, the third is deaf,
and the fourth has
TB. She finds she's pregnant again.
Given the extreme situation, would you
consider recommending abortion?
3. A white mann raped a
13 year old black girl and
she got pregnant. If you were
her parents, would you consider
recommending abortion?
4. A teenage girl is pregnant.
She's not married.
Her fiance is not the father
of the baby, and he's very upset.
Would you consider abortion?
In the first case, you have
just killed John Wesley.
One of the great
evangelists in the 19th century.
In the second case,
you have killed Beethoven.
In the third case, you have
killed Ethel Waters,
the great gospel singer.
And most of all..........
If you said yes to the
fourth case, you have
just declared the murder of Jesus
Christ!!
