Does the game ever end?

Generations pass away, but the game still goes on. The players may be slightly different, and the names have been changed, but we don't often learn from the lessons of history ...we rely on emotions.   They say that at the end of the game, the king and the pawn end up in the same box.

It is a cruel thing to look at a person as a pawn; yet many are used in much the same way they are on the chess board. The pawns are put out in front, and once committed, they can't move back. They are the only piece that takes this risk. 

Pawns are used for positioning, they are used as a shield, and they are disposable. They are told that if they get to the other side of the board, they can be anything they want to be ...but they are rarely expected to reach there, after all, they are just pawns.

Sometimes people are used like that in this world. But, unlike chess, if I am removed from the board of life, I will be with the King.  Over two thousand years ago, many religious leaders thought that they could win if they could remove Jesus.  But, though they thought they removed Jesus, it didn't at all turn out like they had planned for it to. And I want you and I to live long, but when you have moved to your last square, my hope is for as many of you as possible to be with the King also ...for the rest of your life.  

The King of Kings would have it that none would perish. We all will live on; yet those who live without Jesus, have been rooked!!  

But don't blame God ...it is our constant desire through life, to be able to choose. It is what we want! So, choose well, my friend ...and if you need help choosing, as a friend, I will help you get off your square, and tell you of the winning move!!
