Weird Facts

I recently came across some strange things you probably didn't know. For example...
Did you know that butterflies taste with their feet?

A duck's quack doesn't echo and no one knows why.

On average, 100 people choke to death on ballpoint pens every year.

Elephants are the only animals that can't jump.

Only one person in two billion will live to be 116 or older.

It's possible to lead a cow upstairs, but not downstairs.

Women blink nearly twice as much as men.

It's physically impossible for you to lick your elbow.

Almost everyone who just read the previous fact will try to lick their elbow.

These are some very interesting facts but not things you really have to know. Well, you may want to rethink sticking that ink pen in your mouth!

Here's the thing that you REALLY need to know. Do you know beyond a shadow of doubt that you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ? Do you know that if your time on this earth were to end in the next five minutes, in the next five seconds, that you would spend eternity in the presence of the Lord? Eternity is a long time to be wrong.

Yet, so many people are walking around with the assumption that just because they may go to church, that they live a good, moral life, that they are good to go come judgement day. Jesus tells us in John 10:9, "I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved."

In other words, there is no back door to heaven. It is only through the shed blood of Christ. We cannot work our way into heaven, we cannot wish our way into heaven, we cannot wiggle our way into heaven by adopting values and attitudes thrown on us by what today's culture endorses or what "religions" try to preach to us as being comparable to the example given us by Christ. In verse 14 we are told, "I am the good shepherd, I know my sheep..." 

Will He recognize you as one of His flock?
