We also must not forget that He also died for our sins. I think this little Story will help you remember this, and maybe a few other things.
In Washington, D.C. an old priest lay dying in the hospital.
For years he had faithfully served the people of the nation’s capital and was well known among the elected officials.
He motioned for his nurse to come near.
“Yes, Father?” said the nurse.
I would really like to see President Obama and Speaker Pelosi before I die,” whispered the priest.
“I’ll see what I can do, Father,” replied the nurse.
The nurse sent the request to the White House and Congress and waited for a response.
Soon the word arrived; President Obama and Nancy Pelosi would be
delighted to visit the priest.
As they went to the hospital, Obama commented to Pelosi, “I don’t know why the old priest wants to see us, but it will certainly help our images and might even get me re-elected.”
Pelosi agreed that it was a good thing.
When they arrived at the priest’s room, the priest took Obama’s hand in his right hand and Pelosi’s hand in his left hand.
There was silence and a look of serenity on the old priest’s face.
Finally President Obama spoke. “Father, of all the people you could
have chosen, why did you choose us to be with you as you near the
end?
The old priest slowly replied, “I have always tried to pattern my life after our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Amen,” said Obama.
Amen,” said Pelosi.
The old priest continued. “Jesus died between two lying thieves, and I would like to do the same.”
