m:i gotta new best friend.
7:what about me citizen‑m, i thought i was your best friend?
m:this friend is different, let me tell you about him. he loves me and is gonna take care of me forever, even after I die.
(7:i thought i was citizen-m’s best friend.)
m:he promised to help me whenever i’m in trouble. and he is building me a beautiful mansion to live up in heaven.
7:can he build me a mansion?
m:sure, he made evertyhing, even you and me!
7:what’s his name?
(7:do i really wanna know his name? i mean citizen‑m has been my best friend since i was like 7 years old. do I really wanna to know or see this best friend? i’ll get jealous.)
m:his name is jesus!
m:can i tell you more about him??
7:sure!
m:god made the earth, and the first two people and put them in a beautiful garden. they were named adam and eve. but god made them leave the garden, because they had done something naughty, they disobeyed god.
7:they disobeyed god?
m:yes, they had lots of kids and they were naughty too!
7:they had lots of kids? oh my!
m:god called the naughty things they did sin!
7:sin is naughtyness.…
m:yes, god said that sin would bring death. adam and eve had sinned, so they had to die! their sin was passed on to their kids and onto us. now everyone dies because of it!
7:everyone dies because of them!?!
m:i had done lots of things wrong.
7:me too! i have done millions of things wrong!!!
m:and god saw all of them! and I got scared, because I learned that god will never allow sin into hevean!
7:i don’t want sin into heaven either.
m:so i thought i’d never go there until I heard what god said in his holy book.
7:what holy book?
m:the bible silly! it said “for god so loved the world…that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believeth in him would not perish, but have ever lasting life.” isn’t that great?
7: i don’t understand!
m:then let me show it to you in pictures, okay? the bible says “for God so loved the world.” the world means everybody, god loves us all!
7: everybody, even little puppies? even mittens the kitty??
m: mittens the kitty…loved by god.
7:what about the erotic zebra?
m:erotic zebra, loved by god. “that he gave his only begotton son…jesus.” jesus came from heaven and was a born baby! because jesus is god, he will never sin. so he didn’t have to die. but he allowed people to hurt him and put him to death on the cross. he shed his blood to wash away our sins. that was god’s present to us.
7 & m:thank you god!
m:three days later jesus rose from the dead. “that whoever believed in him…” so i believed in him and got saved. lord, i’m sorry i’m a sinner, i’m sorry for what i did, please come into my heart and save me. “…shall not persih in hell.” that’s where people go when they die without jesus in their hearts.
7:i don’t wanna go there.
m:neither do i. “…but have everlasting life in heaven…” if you ask jesus to save you, he’ll build you a home in heaven, and he’ll welcome you. your best friend right now.
m:when we get in heaven, can i live next door to you?
7:i’d love that, i really would.
M: no one else can save you, trust jesus today.
