Week 2 Story... The Passage to Heaven

  The Passage to Heaven

The Passage to Heaven

There once lived a man who claimed he could take anyone to heaven. His name was Christopher, he used his good looks and his conversing ability to convince people that he was true to his word. He fooled many people into thinking this journey was to heavy. He was born a Christian, but later in his life turned to the Devils side. 

Christopher real story was a dark memory. He had a tough life growing up, and made a living off of conning and scamming people. He fooled this young man into following his footsteps and convinced him by erasing his memory and brainwashing him into thinking that the dark side is good and is his life passion. He turned many people. The victims can only be reversed back to normal if Christopher is turned back to the light. This is a hard task and requires a helping hand. 

One quiet night, Christopher walks into a restaurant to get some dinner. He seeks out for more victims as that was his true hunger. He sees a gentleman with long blond hair in the corner praying before his meal. Seeing this angered Christopher. However he remained calm and enjoyed his meal. He plotted a plan to fool this man. Christopher has always been a mastermind at scenarios and making them play out in his advantage. He told his waitress that he wanted to pay for the gentlemans meal and wrote his name and number on the receipt. This was all part of his cunning plan. 

Two weeks went by, the gentlemen did not make any contact with Christopher. He went wild, and went to the restaurant everyday hoping to see him again. Finally as time passed, he ran into the gentleman at the same restaurant. Christopher introduced himself as a up coming pastor. The gentlemen spoke up and introduced himself as Joshua. They began conversing, and quickly Christopher realized that fooling Joshua would be hard task as Joshua spoke with such wisdom. 

Joshua spoke to Christopher with such strong words of wisdom from the bible, that Christopher began to remember his childhood and how his mother would take him to church every sunday, and how he attended bible school. Joshua was able to shine light onto some of Christophers hidden memories that even he had forgotten. Christopher started feeling the guilt of every single soul he turned. Christopher could do nothing but submerge in his dark sorrows. Joshua was able to attack his darkness with light. 

Christopher began walking home with Joshua, and built an instant relationship with Joshua. Joshua explained to him how, there is only one final destination in life, and no man or women can predict when. Christopher began to wonder when his time will come, and whether it would be heaven or hell for all his sins. After a short walk to Christophers house and one short conversation after, he stops at his doorstep to thank Joshua for the walk home, just to realize that Joshua vanished. 

Little did Joshua know that he turned Christophers dark soul into light, thus changing all his victims back to their regular self. He met up with all of his victims and apologized, and began to go to church with all of them. The victims were nice enough to forgive Christopher. 

Moral of this story is to learn that life can end at anytime, and to not drink from the same pool as others. Joshua was able to not sunk into the lies of Christopher. He was able to outsmart Christopher and shine light to his mind and make him realize that his sins are wrong.
