Thoughts about Jesus’ Crucifixion

Jesus died for us.  Let me say that again.  JESUS, the SAVIOR of the world, died for US, died for YOU!!  Jesus loved us so much that the King of the universe (JESUS), died for us.  If Jesus didn’t die for us, we would still be making animal sacrifices and we wouldn’t be able to go to Heaven.  Jesus died so that we wouldn’t have to.

God Sightings

Last Saturday night I went to see Chris Tomlin and Rend Collective.  Chris Tomlin and some random dude talked about a museum that they are building that is called the Museum of the Bible.  This is going to be the biggest museum in the country and its for the Bible!  It’s also only 3 blocks away from our nation’s capital.  I think that it is cool how God has blessed them to be able to build this museum.  The museum will be 8 stories tall and i think it will be 48,000 square feet.  They still need money to keep building this museum and if you donate to it, even if you only donate $5, they will put your name on a 8 story tall wall in the museum that will have 1 million names on it of people who donated.

Thematic writing

This book is teaching the lesson that you have to love your family and help them out.

 

The book that I read was called Riptide.  It was written by Kat Falls.  In this book lots of people including the main character live underwater and had seaweed farms.  The main character’s name is Ty and his parents are kidnapped in the beginning of the book.  Throughout the book, Ty is trying to rescue his parents but he gets sidetracked a lot to help others while trying to find his parents.  This book is teaching the lesson that you have to love your family and friends and help them out.

 

One place I learned this lesson was when Ty helped out his friend Gemma.  She lived with his family for a while because her parents were dead and her brother was the leader of a gang.  In Riptide, Gemma wants to see her brother so Ty goes with her to help her find him.  They find out where her brother, whose name is Shade, is at from a man who likes Gemma.  Shade is going to be fighting a match at an old oil drilling platform that people live on.  Shade is captured during the match by the Seaguard, whom are like police.

 

One different place I learned this lesson is when there are people from townships that risk their live to provide for their family’s and friends.  They risk their lives in an arena in which there are giant crocodiles that they try to kill.  This takes place when their foods supplies are out for that time period but they still have a while till their next supply of food.  Lots of people are hurt and some may die when they try to get the crocodiles.  The rules for this are strict and there are spectators.  Only one crocodile can be killed each time and it supplies 1 ton of meat and expensive skin.  In the book, Ty saves a girl from being eaten by one of these crocodiles while she is in the water.

 

The last place I saw people helping their friends was at the end of the book.  In the end of the book, Ty, Gemma, and the Seaguard are trying to find a township (a giant skyscraper-like submarine/boat) named Drift that has been chained to the ocean floor to kill its inhabitants.  Ty and Gemma find the township and are able to help the people out and find that Ty’s parents are stuck on the township.  The people are all swimming in the freezing water while the Seaguard are far away when suddenly all of Ty’s neighbors appear with their submarines and save everybody.  Ty had called one of his neighbors and asked him to get the other neighbors to help them a while ago and they all came to help even though it was night out.  This shows me that Ty lives in a loving community of neighbors.

 

This book is teaching the lesson that you have to love your family and friends and help them out.  In conclusion, I think this is a great book that I think that everyone should read and I really like its lesson.  Read the book.
